I'm shocked. I was expecting Joe Smith. This is clearly racial profiling.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Ah, but did they illegally tap into their bank records and wire transfers?

Can't violate the rights of terrorists, after all.

Or is it only the Daily Kos crowd in America who thinks that way?

and many bore Muslim names.

...

The bank released the following names: Abdula Ahmed Ali, Cossor Ali, Shazad Khuram Ali, Nabeel Hussain, Tanvir Hussain, Umair Hussain, Umar Islam, Waseem Kayani, Assan Abdullah Khan, Waheed Arafat Khan, Osman Adam Khatib, Abdul Muneem Patel, Tayib Rauf, Muhammed Usman Saddique, Assad Sarwar, Ibrahim Savant, Amin Asmin Tariq, Shamin Mohammed Uddin, and Waheed Zaman..

Ok, I'll bite, which of the names above are not Muslim?

I know that Patel is a very common last name in a certain part of India and in the hotel business in the US, but I would say a Patel with the first name of Abdul would sound Muslim to most of us.

[GeronL]

Why are they being named by the bank?

[takenoprisoner]

The "religion of peace" has too much money and too much time on it's hands.

[Waco]

Hey, we can start sending our "suicide bombers" too. Right into Iran, Syria, N.K. etc. With nukes strapped too their "bodies". Fair is fair, and we do have the right to defend us. (They're not actually sucicide bombers, but hell, since when do we have to be truthful with the enemy?) Well, CNN and Reuters would buy the story, I bet.

[DTogo]

Yet we'll all stand in line while the TSA frisks Grandma and Grandpa (with a WWII Vet cap on) from Topeka...

[Malesherbes]

The U.K. Sun listed Umar Islam as being a convert formerly named Brian Young. They also named, with picture, an Abdul Waheed, a convert formerly named Don Stewart-Whyte. One of the Brit papers said Savant has an English mother and an Iranian father.

[I-spy-guy]

Short article in the Sun about one of those arrested spending time with George Galloway... Galloway denies it of course.

Clearly these are all white Christian Republicans. We should round up all those who voted for George W. Bush and lock them all up while we still can.

[LeoWindhorse]

does the U.K. have the death penalty ?

If not , they need to reinstate it .

[MimirsWell]

Perfect. All sound like Pakistani names to me. Exactly how many of them are not of Pakistani origin? 1?2? I say they just pack up and go back to their madrasas in the Middle-East and never leave their Islamic homelands.

[Wolfstar]

and many bore Muslim names

Looks to me like all 19 bore Muslim names. AP couldn't even acknowledge what info it has in its own article. Sheesh!

Many bore Muslim names>

Which ones do not?

[Uncle Miltie]

Here's an Analytical Chemistry II course in which a Waseem Kayani is a Teaching Assistant. If this is the same gentleman identified as a terrorist suspect, we no longer need to wonder from whom they learned bomb making.
