Cool. Methinks the British tolerance for terrorism and Islamofascists is on the wane....

[evad]

Like arrest one for every 5 Jihadist Terrorist arrested. Mayor Bloombergie would approve of that PC tactic.

heh..yeah, something like that.

The first non muslim they should arrest is Red Ken...or is he a muslim??.

I know he supports terrorism.

[Grampa Dave]

Disturbing the peace is fairly serious, but terrorism is at least felonious.

Look at the quote this Jihadist scumbag made in Italy:

""Muktar urged us to be careful" La Repubblica quoted Hussain as telling his interrogators. "We didn't want to kill, just sow terror."

Those last 3 words are omitted or edited by most of the reports on him.

[Grampa Dave]

The arrest of Red Ken and then sending him to some horrible British controlled isolated island would be a positive step towards insuring peace in London.

[RightWhale]

Terror is terror. Sometimes it seems we are terrorizing ourselves by periodic alarms about avian flu or unprotected nuclear power stations--doing their work for them.

[Grampa Dave]

The Guardian and a few other uber liberal rags in London and many at the BBC will continue to worry about the rights of the Jihadists while ignoring the death and destruction from Jihadist terrorists.

[Grampa Dave]

You are correct. That is why false terror reports shortly after 9/11 became acts of terrorism.

[don-o]

I don't know how those British cops operate, but they are good. Our guys should compare notes with them.

You got that right.

[RightWhale]

This is probably sci fi, but if the populace becomes alarmed enough they would accept, even demand, totalitarian gov't. 1984

[nicmarlo]

Neither has there been any arrests of those of American Indian descent, German descent, Dutch descent, Japanese descent....old women in wheelchairs, blond-haired, blue-eyes men or women, 8 year olds, teenage girls.......

[Grampa Dave]

Also no 4 and 6 year old grand children have been arrested.

So I guess my grandkids aren't terrorists, except the days the 4 year old decides not to take his nap.

[Blind Eye Jones]

No Buddhists, Hindus, Shintus, Christians or Jews arrested so far.
Arrest a few anyway..
it's only fair.


Yeah, you don't want to be accused by the multiculturalists of discriminating against a particular religion.

[evad]

Yeah, you don't want to be accused by the multiculturalists of discriminating against a particular religion.

Religi-phobia can be a scarrrry thing :)

[Miss Marple]

It is a good thing you live across the country from my 2-year old granddaughter. She is also a terror without her nap, and the thought of her and your grandson joining forces is a bit nerve-wracking.

Glad to see the British are rounding these scumbags up. Every arrest nets them more information. I woould bet cash money that pretty soon we will see arrests here, as contacts in the USA are uncovered.

[Grampa Dave]

He was bad at two. Now he is as strong as a bull and can be a real handful except for me and his Dad. It is amazing after a one to two hour nap, he awakens as a nice kid versus Terrorist Toddler before the nap.

[nicmarlo]

FOFLOL....I remember having two "terrors" at nap time. : )

"I don't know how those British cops operate, but they are good. Our guys should compare notes with them."

I am hearing this comment a lot lately. I find it interesting that only a few months back I read an article about some US cops that had spent some time observing UK police operations (don't recall where I read it). The US cops were quite surprised at the low case clear up rate of the British and their apparent out dated and unproductive methods.
I have no clue which police force is "better" and make no judgement.
Much is made of the British experience gained from dealing with the IRA. From my 36 years in the UK before moving Stateside I don't recall any occasions when they rounded up IRA cells with this effectiveness.

[Straight Vermonter]

If anyone gets the names for the ones that just got arrested please give me a ping.

Great chart!!! Love the "Location" listed for those who are dead ... ROFL!

[tgslTakoma]

I wonder, does Britain have an equivalent facility to our Club Gitmo, to house all the suspects they're rounding up?

We could sell franchises... Euro Gitmo is a catchy name.
