I was expecting the terrorist to be named Ian or Nigel. The bastard was born in the UK. The reason to reduce Muslim immigration to your country is not just to avoid importing current terrorists but to avoid importing people who will produce terrorists a generation later.

Was this family of proud Libyans on British welfare?

Second and third gen muzzies are the worst. No way to vet for that...

Well that can't be right because that is obviously a Muslim name, and Islam is the religion of peace.

All mohammedans are subject to Sudden Jihad Syndrome.
One never knows when they will follow their prophet’s example and instructions.
There are no safe muslims.

I thought that was a given?

> Mr. Abedi’s ID was found at the scene of the bombing, according to a law enforcement official <

Really? That’s about the oddest thing I’ve read all day. I’ve been from Maine to Spain, and I’ve never lost my ID even once. Yet this guy just happens to lose his ID on that particular day.

Again, I find that very odd.

British citizens who display the Libyan flag not the British flag.

It is good to see someone else get that figured out.

[elpadre]

too bits says he has been back to the Mideast for indoctrination and military training.

From what I read his parents came to the UK as refugees from Libya to escape Quadafi..and he was already on British police radar..how many times have we heard that before..but yeah, let’s let more of these vultures into the country..its not the parents of these Jihadists we have to worry about..they come as children, 2-3 years old..and people say “Awww look at the wee ones let them in” then they grow up and become Jihadists

No doubt about it. Here’s a UK article from 2007 that confirms what you said.

Likely got his bomb training in Libya. Thank you Hillary.

Another “Known Wolf”

We need laws to purge our society of the extremists who hold or promote these views.

[livius]

Probably. In the article, it said that his mother “teaches the Koran” but that she has “been abroad” for the last two months. So I’d say the parents, or at least Mummy, are involved too. Fat lot of thanks the UK gets for all that welfare.

22 years old. In the civilized world he would be graduating college, with his whole life ahead of him. Full of potential and promise.

Even the ones who go to college can still wind up radicalized.....case in point....
