So.... Have any prominent Muslims condemned the attacks yet?

I was watching BBC on cable and they had the head of one of the London mosques (apparently one of the major ones, but I forget his name) who actually condemned the attack. He was being interviewed with an Anglican cleric.

So there's one...I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for more.

Thought you may want an update.

Nice illustration - I can just picture it !

"This was not a terrorist attack against the mighty and the powerful, this was against working-class Londoners, an indiscriminate attempt at mass murder.

Translation: "The attack against mighty and powerful America on 9/11 was justified, but this attack wasn't."

There was an invasion scare along the West Coast after Pearl Harbor.

The Japanese actually did invade our Aleutian Islands (Alaska). And there was some attack on Oregon.

And of course, the Philippines and Guam, too, I believe, which were our territories/protectorates at the time were invaded and occupied by the Japanese.

Agree with both points. We need to collapse the Arab economy. They only have oil.

Agree: economic tit-for-tat would be a very wiseable solution.

That says to me they've found UXBs.

Plus, think of all the unattended items left behind.

Ongoing bomb threat closed the Victoria station. Subways out until tomorrow.

33 confirmed fatalities according to police.

[defconw]

They have a bomb threat at one station that they have closed.

[MEG33]

OH, my..I feared it was worse than first reported.

4 devices/3 trains affected by one blast they believe..No number of fatalities given on double decker blast(I believe this one was a bad one)..I counted 33 fatalities announced/ Press conference.

My and my family's prayers for the victims and the British people.

[MamaLucci]

OMG, Eva...........thank God your son, and his friends over slept....((((shudder)))

"Agree with both points. We need to collapse the Arab economy. They only have oil."

I remember reading somewhere that it's possible to distill gasoline from coal.

Here is a link to a story that has information about the Pickens County internment camp. It mainly housed German prisoners of war.

And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan. -- Genesis 37:17

I would hesitate to be so all-knowing in the future.

There were internment camps in central Alabama for Germans. When I lived in Alabama, there were news stories about the camps. There must have been an anniversary date of them being released or something. But I could be crazy, and my memory could be flawed.

This argument, vis-a-vis our current problems, is really neither here nor there. Just an academic exercise at this point.

>>I just heard a report on TV that the hotel rooms in London have now gone up to 4 to 5 THOUSAND dollars a night...whoa..<<

I have a reservation with the London Marriott on Grosvenor Square at 181.30 pounds per night. While the dollar has slipped over the past year, the exchange rate is not that bad.
