Smoke seen in London Train Station.( Explosions reported)

[Prince Charles]

SKY: Witness says the perp detonated the bomb next to a woman with a baby. Sick.

[E Rocc]

is that your idea of "religious liberty"?

No, but it's historically correct. The point was that it doesn't make Christians inherently evil.

[Jacvin]

It makes them what they have to be-politicians.

[mware]

Hey Brit Guy you are work right now?

I heard the chief of police are tellin' you folks to stay put. Too bad you are not in pub for lunch.

[areafiftyone]

A gun? In London?

Police Commissioner Ian Blair reports bus incident in Bethel Green, George Galloway's home district!

[MizSterious]

Any word on if the baby is ok? That really IS sick.

[tobyhill]

Did she say that passengers chased him?

[Mac94]

Yup, the old joke:

Heaven -

The police are British
The engineers are German
and the chefs are French

Hell -

the police are German
the engineers are French
and the chefs are British

Aye, especially when it comes to food. You Americans are great people, but you have no sense of taste whatsoever. What you call "American Cheese", I call "inert matter". What you call "sour", I call "cardboard". What you call "beer", I call "seltzer mixed with piss". What you call "Wonder Bread", I call "what the hell is that??" I could go on forever =P

Yeah, but we nailed that "Liberty" thing (for a while, anyway)

Martyrdom in Christianity has typically (but not always) been associated with suffering death for refusing to renounce Christ, not blowing up a busload of non-Christians.

Those who died fighting in the Crusades were considered martyrs. If I'm not mistaken, this also applied to those who attacked the Albigensians and Byzantines.

Without marmite, scientists would have nowhere to recycle their failed chemical experiments!

[Kelly_2000]

"but martyrdom is a highly honored state of grace in Christianity, as well. "

martyrdom in Christianity is when YOU are killed by an oppressor while remaining firm in your faith. Don't compare that to a barbaric attitude in Islam to martyr people who kill themselves while in the process of murdering others.

[AFPhys]

good to hear from you already.

> I usually ride the DC metro to/from work everyday. Last night I had a dream that someone bombed it...

I ride the T into Boston. 3 days ago the police went through Harvard Station with a bomb-sniffing dog. A yellow lab. I would describe it as more of a sinking feeling than panic and fear.
