Suspects were from moderate Muslim families

"moderate Muslim"

Now there's an oxymoron for you.

That's also how all the neighbors are describing the poor lads that have been arrested in England. So I guess the descriptive, moderate Muslim, applies to the terrorist before he explodes his bomb. After that, he is a martyr and celebrated throughout Islam.

"There were people coming to the house at nighttime, around midnight, almost every night," ...

Visits by the friendly Islamic extremist arm twisters club? /sarc

There is no way to protect moderate Muslims from the "organization".

Suspects were from moderate Muslim families

Moderate my ass..

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

I've been trying to tell everyone (but most refuse to listen)...

Deport all muslims. Now! Raze all mosques in the U.S. and do it NOW! No turning back...

A terrorist is a Muslim activist. A moderate is a sleeper.

All of the 24 alleged suicide-bomb plotters are British citizens, most of them born in England, police confirmed yesterday. All but two appear to have been children of Pakistani parents who had become fully integrated citizens. Many of them had university educations and steady jobs, and some ran small businesses.

When will the liberals stop prattling on about how the underlying cause is that western society discriminates against these people, they are unemployed or underemployed, etc.? The Bin Laden family are extremely rich. The 9/11 bombers were from middle class families. The 7/7 bombers were not the underclass.

It's the belief system, stupid. Their system of belief makes them incompatible with being allowed to live or travel in free countries. The Constitution is not a suicide pact. Believers in a system of thought that is utterly opposed to our society and seeks to destroy it, should not be allowed to freely go their merry way plotting our destruction until actually caught in the act, under the name of freedom of religion.

"A terrorist is a Muslim activist. A moderate is a sleeper."

A moderate is one who hasn't had a friendly visit from the ROP reps yet and/or is six feet under.

[Danae]

Precisely.

I think I have me a new bumper sticker.

Paul Harvey's usual comment on weird stories from around the world:

"It is NOT one world."

Then we need to reconsider what "moderate" really means.

Also, anyone know if there are any good thread discussions of some arrests in Texas City last month where some guys were making this same type of explosive in an apartment when it went off?

Additionally, some "white supremacists" (called just that by Clear Channel's 950AM Houston local newsbreak) were caught in Texas today making pipe bombs. I've heard of "terrorists" being apprehended but never hear what their worldview is. "Muslim supremacists" are never labelled as such by the media.

They were moderates because the only way they would've been able to accomplish their goal was to work together.

Extremists would be prone to infighting over particulars of faith. < /s >

[weegee]

That's a good reason to ask for a temporary "cease fire".

[Luke21]

God one. Same as a moderate Democrat. They'll wait til the weekend is over before surrendering.

[Luke21]

Ackkk..meant "good one."

[null and void]

There Are NO Moderate Muslims!

[airborne]

Airborne's translation - Even moderate Muslims are evil!

[Madame Dufarge]

Al Taqiyya is with tongue only; not the heart. A believer can make any statement as long as the ‘heart is comfortable'. The 9/11 terrorists lived and visited in the United States for two years before the 9/11 attacks. How did they acculturate? By the use of taqiyya. Meaning: I hate you but I smile at you-in public.

[BJClinton]

You know how to spell Al Taqiyya in English? CAIR.
