They are being told to stay home, don't leave your house ... they are not going on with "business as usual".
She is also telling that since 7/7 there have been numerous bomb threats not reported on the American MSM.
People are being told to stay home?
If they are being told "stay in your house", my first thought is WMD.
"They are being told to stay home, don't leave your house ... they are not going on with "business as usual"."
What?! I'm a Londoner and I can assure you that - until today's attacks - it HAS been business as usual.
More importantly, though, there's something that's been nagging away at me since I came here a couple of weeks ago in the aftermath of the first attacks. I found this site a good way to keep up with what's being reported because people are posting material from a wide range of different sources. The same has been true today.
But I just can't get past some of the more extreme viewpoints being espoused here - many of which seem remarkably widespread. Again, today, people have reacted to the attacks by suggesting that the problem here is Islam, rather than terrorism, or voicing disapproval when Blair's response apparently wasn't bloodthirsty enough.
I'd like to ask these people a simple question. If the problem really IS Islam, don't you think the manifestation of that problem would be somewhat more serious?
There are somewhere above 1 billion Muslims in the world today. But if you take the FIRST attacks on the WTC as the start of Islamic terrorist attacks on the West, and trace that thread through the attack on the Cole, 9/11, Bali, Madrid and London, you'll note that in a 12-year campaign of terror, less than 3,000 people have been killed. Less than 3,000 - by an enemy numbering 1 billion. In 12 years.
In Leeds, around a sixth of the population is Muslim. Why aren't the streets of Leeds streaming with blood?
If all Muslims are burning with implacable hatred of the West, why do I count two of them among my oldest friends? If Islam is the problem, why did terrorist attacks on the West begin in 1993?
Seriously. Speaking as a Londoner, I'm as keen as anyone to ensure that the people responsible for this are put behind bars - and I also want to see people responsible for inciting terrorism deported. But it's pretty clear to me that what we're dealing with here is a strain of Islam - not Islam itself, not all Muslims, but a dangerous band of extremists. Pretending otherwise is not going to help to solve the problem.
Cheers!
