El ministro del Interior, Angel Acebes, anunció esta noche que la Policía ha detenido cinco personas, tres marroquies y dos hindues
y otros españoles de origen hindue a los que se está tomando declaración, en relación con el móvil que no llegó a explosionar en
el atentado del pasado jueves en Madrid.

Synopsis:

"Interior Minister announces the arrest of five persons - three Morroccans and two Hindus, and other Spaniards of Hindu origin..."

How bizarre. Maybe they mean Indian Muslims?

Muslims?! Say it ain't so!

[TomGuy]

Muslims,I am shocked I tell you,shocked.

That just cannot be! This morning FoxNews said they were looking for a stolen white van. I posted in another thread the 'Calling Chief Moose alert' because I'm was almost positive they'd be looking for 2 white guys in that white van.

Even the ME press try to say it couldn't, just couldn't be Muslims:

Madrid attacks unsettle Arab press


Muslims arrested. Who'd'a'thunk'it?

[Mamzelle]

Hindus working with Muslims? I don't think so, Tim.

[AmishDude]

Of course it was sarcasm. He was referencing the Muslim claims that there were no Jews in the WTC. Of course, there were many.

[OldFriend]

Most of the media ignoring the connection to the stolen explosives from France.

Socialists favor appeasement and have been opposed to the war in Iraq and Spain's support for the US. If this is proven to be retribution for that, the cowardly masses will go out and vote for the Socialists (who intend to appease AQ). They have been holding demonstrations all day in Spain declaring this.

There are Indian Muslims..

[MEG33]

I thought I heard Indians.May all responsible for bombings like this all over the world be caught and roast in hell.

[livius]

That's what puzzles me. I suspect they mean Indians who are Muslims - remember the threat that AQ made to use non-Arabs?

[elhombrelibre]

I agree. Hindus too are frequent victims of this type of Muslem violence.

[thoughtomator]

India has the largest Muslim population of any country in the world

[hellinahandcart]

I'm becoming more convinced by the day that "radical, murderous Islam" is nothing more than a front for something that has nothing to do with religion.

If you mean that it's a front for radical leftists, I'm with you.

[Crazieman]

[Centurion2000]

I think this news means the Socialists will win tomorrow, unless the Spanish have more cojones than I thought.

Actually I think this is just going to piss the spaniards off ... they will back their government and start paying muslims back in spades for this.

[Lijahsbubbe]

How long before the left will blame it on Spain? Will they say it's Spain's fault, that they were attacked because of their "immoral" lifestyle? Will they ponder what Spain has to do to understand Muslims?

[Alberta's Child]

My Muslim friend is convinced that Iraq was behind every act of terrorism in the U.S. starting with the first World Trade Center attack in 1993 (including Oklahoma City, 9/11, etc.). Islamic radicals are nothing more than the dupes they use whenever they need someone to carry out a "dead end" mission in which it doesn't matter if the perpetrators are killed or arrested.

What we're witnessing is a long, low-grade guerrilla war fought right in the streets of Western countries.

[Joe Boucher]

I didn't take it as funny. I took it that the muslims say the Israelis and Americans are the boogie man. Yet they failed to target either in this attack.

Sounds liike an unreasonable leap for the terrorists, lets target innocents and thus turn the world and its opinon against themselves.
Going to get to the point where we in the west refuse to deal with muslims and arabs.
The only thing these terrorists understand is force. Start taking out whole villages where they come from.
