GRRRRRR

[MrsEmmaPeel]

How very sad.

[nwrep]

Terrible. My condolences to his family and Great Britain.

[witnesstothefall]

Will the "Center/Left" MPs react with righteous British indignation? Don't hold your breath.

[sarasota]

Al Q is turning up the volume against all supporters of the USA.

[Quilla]

Will this even phase the protesters in London today? I'm not holding mine.

[Semper Paratus]

Have they stopped with that statue of Bush in Trafalgar square?

Didn't think so.

[HankReardon]

During the Bush/Blair q and a a reporter asked, "Pres. Bush, how does it feel to know that people are dying today becuase you and PM Blair are meeting?" I wish he would have answered, "People are dying becuase some people set off a bomb, idiot!"

[Guillermo]

What about the reporter blaming Bush for the attack in Istanbul...

[HankReardon]

Yes, I almost feel some of those Brits would have deserved to have to learn German.

[xzins]

This is precisely what Pres. Bush said yesterday. The Terror War is ongoing. They are blowing up Red Cross, Japanese, Schools, etc. Will the west bow to the terrorists and allow them eventually to come after us?

Do not think that our backing off will cause them to stop.

They wish to rule the world.

[freeangel]

My condolences and prayers for the man and his family.

[roses of sharon]

Do not call them "protesters".

They are supporters of AQ and Saddam. The new "victims" of power and capitalism.

They have chosen the devil, and have gone straight to hell.

[Guillermo]

The non-anglo "white" world is more than willing, and ready to submit to the terrorists.

[Truth Table]

"Moderate” Muslims try to equivocate Islamofascists to the KKK or other fringe Christian groups. I’ve never understood why they make this comparison—it falls flat on it’s face when one studies the world wide population of Muslims, and the violence perpetrated by these Islamofascists within these respective populations. If these actions were indeed the actions of a “small minority” of the population in general, then I would expect these incidents localized, smaller, and less homogenous then we actually find.

We do not see this behavior, world wide, in any other group that identifies itself with a particular religion. The ratio of violence to population size is not really the issue. I contend that the homogeny of the violence across the general population is the test that Islam fails.

[xzins]

I'm afraid you are right.

They don't see what the terrorist intent is.

You wonder how 9/11 was not a wakeup call for these people.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Will this even phase the protesters in London today?

Of course, they will blame Bush and the USA.
