"The “patio gas” bomb defused in Haymarket would have generated a fireball the size of a house and a shock wave spreading out over a diameter of at least 400 yards, explosives experts said today."

Your choice.

LONDON (AFP) - London Mayor Ken Livingstone called on Britons Saturday not to demonize Muslims after a double car bomb plot was foiled in the capital, amid fears of a Islamist terror threat.

At the same time he criticized Britain over its ties with Saudi Arabia, which he said had fuelled intolerance in the past through its Wahhabist form of Islam, creating a “major problem.”

“In this city, Muslims are more likely to be law-abiding than non-Muslims and less likely to support the use of violence to achieve political ends than non-Muslims,” he told BBC Radio.”

“More Moslems came, and soon a small mosque was built, which attracted yet others. As long as Zoroastrians remained in the majority, their lives were tolerable; but once the Moslems became the more numerous, a petty but pervasive harassment was apt to develop. This was partly verbal, with taunts about fire-worship, and comments on how few Zoroastrians there were in the world, and how many Moslems, who must therefore posses the truth; and also on how many material advantages lay with Islam. The harassment was often also physical; boys fought, and gangs of youth waylaid and bullied individual Zoroastrians. They also diverted themselves by climbing into the local tower of silence and desecrating it, and they might even break into the fire-temple and seek to pollute or extinguish the sacred flame. Those with criminal leanings found too that a religious minority provided tempting opportunities for theft, pilfering from the open fields, and sometimes rape and arson. Those Zoroastrians who resisted all these pressures often preferred therefore in the end to sell out and move to some other place where their co-religionists were still relatively numerous, and they could live at peace; and so another village was lost to the old faith.”

Boyce, A Persian Stronghold of Zoroastrianism, pp. 7-8;

CNN just had a report about Muslims in London and right off the bat, one of the interviewees spoke of sharia law being the law and the only law over the muslim community there, and one day the law over all of Great Britain. Thanks for the information you supplied above, I was unaware.

Unfortunately it wouldn’t have caused detainment and deportation proceedings for thousands of militant islamists that infect Britain like cockroaches. That’s the real bummer.

I guess it is not so obvious to Larry Johnson and Keith Olbermann

glad i could help.

the depravity of these Muslims is something so deep that i’m afraid our humane upbringing gives us no frame of reference to even think that people can think like this and think they’re going good by being so evil.

Leading leftards and their lackeys in the MSM have been arguing for years that the propane tanks stashed in the ceiling at Columbine were not a real threat.

By tomorrow they will have reviewed their previous stories and will begin telling us that these terrorists posed no threat whatsoever ~ that propane, by golly, is good for ya'!

But probably not worse than when a Californian crashes his hydrogen fueled (required by law of course) car.....
