A foiled plot in Britain may signal chilling tactic

I'm surprised it hasn't happened here. In a sick sort of way, it's a good thing they do put this crap out on the net. It makes it pretty hard to brush off as a random murder.

This sort of atrocity may be what it will take to trigger an adequate response against the Moslem fifth column in the UK/Europe/US.

[Political Junkie Too]

It didn't when it happened to one of their own (unless they don't consider the WSJ as one of their own).

It hasn't happened here for one reason. It would have the opposite effect it had in Spain. Instead of retreating, it would make many in the US mad enough to go on the offensive again.

With the recent election and the current leadership in Congress, there is no reason to attack here. We are defeating ourselves faster and more efficiently then any random murder could.

CNN will carry the video?

"...(F)or it to happen in a major British city would send shock waves to millions of people throughout Europe and the world."

They are right about that. People would hit the FReepin' roof. As well they should.

Eventually, folks are going to get tired of this and the gloves are going to come off. This war has been going on for a Millenium, and will go on for another Thousand years. Our little experiment with individual rights and limited government is an infant by comparison.

There will come a time when this is all going to get real ugly, real fast. I predict it will start (as so many bloodbaths do...) in France.

Why does the media persist in calling these "Iraq-style" murders and "executions?

Daniel Pearl was not in Iraq when he was butchered on camera. Neither were the Russians, Indonesians, etc.

This is a Islamonazi tactic and it knows no borders. Honor killings are not unheard of in England (even if they are rare). Celebrate diversity.

But don't blame it on Iraq.

The DC Sniper Duo were clear in their motive and yet people still believe that there haven't been any domestic terrorist attacks since 9-11-2001.

If they did manage to pull this off, perhaps the Western world would finally start mass deportations.

[Paul Ross]

In the past, we have witnessed the brutal beheadings of Western hostages in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq, but for it to happen in a major British city would send shock waves to millions of people throughout Europe and the world."

It would be harder for the MSM to censor the loathesome nature of the horrors that we are fighting. Sad to say, that may be the only thing that would turn things around in Europe...if the Jihadists are so foolish as to escalate to this pitch while the SHeeple can still be awakened before its too late....

Finally confronting the multiculturalists and legalists with the utter necessity of Deporting the Jihadists and stripping them of whatever claims to citizenship they have been improperly granted.

[Paul Ross]

Agreed.

[raftguide]

"we have witnessed the brutal beheadings of Western hostages"

Not to worry. A social worker told me that beheading victims feel overwhelming euphoria just before their death, the same as with those starved to death in hospitals.

[neocon1984]

It's an unwinnable quagmire. Better pull all the British troops out of Great Britain. It's time to de-escalate and negotiate. Peace at any price. yadda yadda yadda!

[Paul Ross]

It's an unwinnable quagmire. Better pull all the British troops out of Great Britain.

You mean re-position forces to Australia, Canada and Ethiopia!

It's time to de-escalate and negotiate. Peace at any price.

I thought this guy had kicked the bucket:

[neocon1984]

Neville Chamberlain was responsible for tremendous loss of life, just as the Democrat Congress will be again in the future. It's hard to imagine that these people can be so stupid as to repeat the same mistakes over and over again.

[keats5]

Good point.

[toddlintown]

I can see it now..."We must reach out and have a dialogue with our Muslim populace. Perhaps bump up their public school education, more unemployment insurance, and make sure that their toilets are pointed in the right direction. Only then can we live in harmony with our diverse population."

Blah, blah, blah.

[Bon mots]

I wonder if they were after Salman Rushdie?

[LibKill]

I thought this guy had kicked the bucket:

Ah, the spirit of Neville Chamberlin lives on in the spineless bodies of fatted souls who have never known a moment's adversity or a penny's worth of courage.

It appears that 9/11 was not enough to wake up the slumbering masses.

I fear the judgement of history.
