London bombing suspect's mind ‘poisoned': widow

Friday, September 23, 2005 Posted at 6:01 AM EDT Associated Press

London — The mind of a suspected London suicide bomber was poisoned by contacts with radical mosques, his widow said in an interview published Friday.

Samantha Lewthwaite told The Sun newspaper that her husband Jermaine Linsday had been visiting mosques in London, Luton and northern England.

“How these people could have turned him and poisoned his mind is dreadful,” she was quoted as saying.

“He was an innocent, naive and simple man. I suppose he must have been an ideal candidate.”

Mr. Lindsay is suspected of detonating the bomb that killed 26 people and himself on the Piccadilly Underground line on July 7. In all, four attacks on the London transit system that day killed 52 passengers and the four bombing suspects.

Britain's largest Islamic group, an umbrella for more than 400 affiliated mosques and organizations, has condemned the attacks. Its leader, Sir Iqbal Sacranie, met with Prime Minister Tony Blair and vowed to “root out” extremism among Britain's 1.6 million Muslims.

I am curious how he thinks that can be done when even those closest to the bombers were unaware they were becoming terrorists.

The problem lies with the Quran itself and the prophet.

The REAL root of this problem is that we have used carpet bombing to turn every city in the Islamic World into rubble.

We should start today with Iran, bomb every city without notice.

Advise Pakistan that the areas where the terrorists area hiding will be bombed in 5 minutes.

Nuke Mecca!

IMHO

Most of us didn't know we had a Holocaust day until the Muslimes tried to shoehorn in on it.
