Anger Burns on the Fringe of Britain's Muslims By HASSAN M. FATTAH

LEEDS, England, July 15 - At Beeston's Cross Flats Park, in the center of this now embattled town, Sanjay Dutt and his friends grappled Friday with why their friend Kakey, better known to the world as Shehzad Tanweer, had decided to become a suicide bomber.

"He was sick of it all, all the injustice and the way the world is going about it," Mr. Dutt, 22, said. "Why, for example, don't they ever take a moment of silence for all the Iraqi kids who die?"

"It's a double standard, that's why," answered a friend, who called himself Shahroukh, also 22, wearing a baseball cap and basketball jersey, sitting nearby. "I don't approve of what he did, but I understand it. You get driven to something like this, it doesn't just happen."

To the boys from Cross Flats Park, Mr. Tanweer, 22, who blew himself up on a subway train in London last week, was devout, thoughtful and generous. If they understood his actions, it was because they lived in Mr. Tanweer's world, too.

They did not agree with what Mr. Tanweer had done, but made clear they shared the same sense of otherness, the same sense of siege, the same sense that their community, and Muslims in general, were in their view helpless before the whims of greater powers. Ultimately, they understood his anger.

The news that four British-born Muslim men from neighborhoods around Leeds were suspected of carrying out the bombings in London has made the shared dissatisfaction of boys like these and the creeping militancy of some young British Muslims an urgent issue in Britain.

Such is the mentality of losers.

It's my understanding that the Times even did this crap during WWII. Seek out the "victims" of American aggression and give them a platform to spread their hatred.

Yes, I'll bet these idiots were real upset when Hussein was slaughtering Iraqis by the hundreds of thousands. No problem with that fellows, right? ...you tremendous piles of excrement. The comments of this trash exemplifies why most Islamic countries are swamps of poverty, crime...and stupidity.

Those rag heads don't know anything about anger.

The anger is here, in the heart of every freedom-loving son and daughter of America. The anger is here, kindled by 9-11, and fueled by the neverending stream of atrocities perpetrated by the sycophant-devotees of the pedophile false prophet, muhammed (Piss be upon him!!!)

This anger, this anger right here, will explode on you d*pSh*ts if you don't reign in the whack-jobs in your midst. Don't play stupid. You know who they are. But you won't turn them in because you take pleasure in the acts they commit. GDAMN hypocrites. Crybabies.

To Mr. "Dutt,"

More Iraqi children are killed on purpose by those you sympathize with, than those killed accidently by US troops. I wouldn't expect you to be sophisticated enough to tell the difference. A*****e!

"Anger Burns on the Fringe of Britain's Muslims"

Gee. Imagine how it burns on the fringe of Britain's non-Muslims.

(BTW, the barf-alert's redundant. It's the NY Times.)

Golly, boys, while you're feeling sorry for Kakey, give a thought to all the innocent people on the London subway train whom he blew up along with himself. And you think this is God's will???

We cannot afford to wait for individual muslims to decide if they want to become terrorists. I have a solution. 1) Recognize that we are at war with islamonazis. 2) POLYGRAPH and BACKGROUND CHECK EVERY MUSLIM IN AMERICA INCLUDING THE ONES WHO WERE BORN HERE. 3) Ship any suspected terrorist accomplices to Gitmo and deport any sympathizers. It ain't PC, but it will work.

if you live in the West , you should side with the West !
if not , get the hell out....
Do they realize how close they are to the vastest expulsion en masse in human history ? Those Mohammedans should really reevaluate , or start packing.

I don't approve of mobs trashing mosques and killing Muslims, but I understand it.

77 proved ONE MORE TIME that Islam is a breeding ground of terrorists much to the dismay of professing islamics. They're know having to do damage control.

Aw-w-w-w, are you little boys angry? Why, that's too bad. Now, let's see, what could you be angry about? Did you miss your favorite show on the telly? Wasn't there enough food in the local super market? Maybe you're tired of that flush toilet in your bathroom(s), and, oh yes, plenty of hot and cold running water every day in your flat. Oh, I forgot, maybe it's because you can visit a park, or buy a plane ticket whenever you want to. Or, maybe it's because you can buy as many newspapers as you want, with as many viewpoints as one could imagine. Gee, you sure do have a lot to be angry about. Maybe you'd better go back to the Middle East where life is easier for you.

Why go to all the trouble to try and sort them out? Once upon a time NO ONE from these barbaric countries was allowed into our country.

What a load. The perfect trifecta- The NYT, a muslim reporter and a bunch of muslims with access to the traitorous media that feeds their bloodlust.

58 innocent Iraqis outside a mosque were killed deliberately today by a Muslim suicide bomber in a fuel tanker.

Waiting for expressions of anger and condemnation from "Sanjay Dutt", his buddies and other Muslims in Britain and elsewhere...

When will we realize that the new dork times is a terrorist propaganda machine? How many people have to die before we realize that the new dork times as well as the ACLU are anti-American and would like nothing better than to see this country destroyed? When will we stop setting on our butts screaming through our keyboards and remove these two terrorist organizations.

#17......

..and waiting for this newspaper to give the 'other side'...the one of the victims...

..and waiting for....

..oh never mind.

Why don't they have a moment of silence for the Iraqi children...this whole newspiece is distorted, twisted and just plain wrong.---Just who do these young turks think blew up a whole lot of little children the other day?????

I guess MSM newsjerks are the same whether British or American...they will do anything to foment anger, distrust and anti-patriotism....whatever country.

Now, let's see, what could you be angry about?

You left out the animal cruelty laws, and proposed ban on long, pointy knives. Those make it very difficult to properly slaughter a sheep in the bath tub--the only legitimate Islamic use for same.

Another one you left out is Western society's dim view of 'honor killings' and forced, child "marriages" and bigamy.

And, don't ever forget the greatest persecution of all: forced tolerance.

It is illegal to persecute non-Muslims, and if that isn't persecution of Muslims, I don't know what is!LOL
