BRITAIN will not yield to acts of "evil", Prime Minister Gordon Brown said on Sunday after three botched car bomb attacks in two days in London and Glasgow.
"We will not yield, we will not be intimidated,'' he said in an interview with BBC television, after his government raised the national security level to "critical'' following the attacks.
He said terrorism "can never be justified as an act of faith'',

It is good to see Brown bolster his position. He has been steadfast in this.
” Britain will not yield to ‘evil’ - Brown “
I’d feel better about it if Britain hadn’t knuckled under to Iran in the “sailor snatch” a couple of months ago....
Talk is cheap.....
Amen
The moozies are putting Brown to the test in his first few days in office. It’ll be interesting to see how he shapes up.
” It’ll be interesting to see how he shapes up. “
Yep — watching...
(Parenthetically, our politically-correct, ‘offend nobody’, all-for-show non-system over here hasn’t really been tested, yet, either... If history - specifically anthrax 2001, and the beltway snipers - is any predictor, I don’t hold out much hope....)
The great thing for Britain this time, aside from having a stand-up guy in charge is that the terrorists were so incompetent.
Why? Here are some thoughts:
1) It can't look like an accident. No one could really tell at first if it was an attack or an accident. If you're trying to make a statement to the entire nation, you can't leave any doubt, because many people will doubt it regardless and your message is lost right along with your lives. It has to be so obvious that there can't be any undercurrent of "conspiracy talk" or anything like that. For all some people know, some guy was listening to Britney Spears music for the first time, convulsed and drove into the barriers. It could happen...
2) Don't catch on fire. It's really very unprofesssional and the people in the immediate area may even enjoy watching you burn. When you become "part of the entertainment", your message is going to be lost. Reducing your Jihad to the level of a poor Vegas act isn't going to help your brothers in Jihad much. When the Americans start sending boxes of Smores instead of relief packages to your intended target, you've screwed up big time.
3) Don't get caught. Really. Think "Eternal incarceration". No virgins for you boys. Rather, you'll be 'splain' your problems to Sean and Scott, two soccer loving Yobs held over form the last tourny. The guards are going to tell them that you root for the other team, doesn't matter who it was. Cheers fellahs. Welcome to the rest of your life...
I am extremely glad that none of these bombs caused any damage,still, one has to wonder how Mr. Brown would have reacted if one had gone off.
” Why? Here are some thoughts: “
Thanks...
Needed the chuckle this morning.... ;~)
I guess Brown still hasn't read the koran. Terrorism is touted as one of the most effective tools to suceed in "fighting in Allah's(Satan) cause.
But, he does recognise it is an act of evil in all circumstances. Maybe some day he'll connect the dots and realize Islam IS evil.
Bukhari:V4B52N220 "Allah's Apostle said, ‘I have been made victorious with terror.'"
Qur'an:8:12"I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and His Apostle."
Qur'an:8:57 "If you gain mastery over them in battle, inflict such a defeat as would terrorize them, so that they would learn a lesson and be warned."
Ishaq:326 "If you come upon them, deal so forcibly as to terrify those who would follow, that they may be warned. Make a severe example of them by terrorizing Allah's enemies."
Ishaq:326"Allah said, ‘No Prophet before Muhammad took booty from his enemy nor prisoners for ransom.'[because the were men of God, not Satan's evil helper like Mohammad] Muhammad said, ‘I was made victorious with terror. The earth was made a place for me to clean. I was given the most powerful words. Booty was made lawful for me. I was given the power to intercede. These five privileges were awarded to no prophet before me.'"
Qur'an:7:3 "Little do you remember My warning. How many towns have We destroyed as a raid by night? Our punishment took them suddenly while they slept for their afternoon rest. Our terror came to them; Our punishment overtook them."
Ishaq:510 "When the Apostle looked down on Khaybar he told his Companions, ‘O Allah, Lord of the Devils [ That clearly tells you who "Allah" is] and what into terror they throw, and Lord of the winds and what they winnow, we ask Thee for the booty of this town and its people. Forward in the name of Allah.' He used to say this of every town he raided."
Religion of peace, right?
Fascism was a socio/economic system established by Binito Mussolini in Italy in the 1920s. Fascism can exist only in an industrial based advanced society. Basically it calls for a close association between government/industry. Private property is permitted to a selected few but it is tightly controlled and governed by government. The entire economic market is controlled by government.
Fascism requires a totalitarian state because it must be imposed.
Islam is the enemy. Don’t qualify it by falling for the conventional wisdom that only a few “extremists” Muslims are attacking us. Certainly there are no doubt Muslim dissidents, as there are in every war.
We did not say, for example, that “250,000 extremists Germans hailed Hitler at the Nirenberg rallies.” We did not say that only extremists Japanese danced in the streets on December, 7, 1941. We went to war against all Germans and all Japanese wherever they were found.
It is not politically correct, but it is surely factually correct that the Islamic world is at war against civilization. Where there are Muslims, there is our enemy. Deal with it.
“Talk is cheap.....”
- Yes, I’m afraid these attacks have set back Brown’s original plan to begin his tenure in a move designed to increase his popularity among leftists and defeatists everywhere by officially announcing Britain’s troop withdrawal from Iraq. He was going to show the world that, unlike Blair, he was not going to be “Bush’s poodle”.
Now that Britain has been attacked again, how can he make such an announcement without appearing to cave in to the terrorists? Why, that would put Britain on a par no better than Spain. What a dilemma!
It's certainly a rag-tag bunch, with the London attack completely foiled, and the Scotland attack bungled.
Gordon Brown needs to show that the jihadis' assessment that he could be influenced is completely false. Rather than tough talk, action is required. My suggestion? Announce an INCREASE in the UK's troop commitment to Iraq.
I wouldn’t be putting money on that...
He's weaseling already.
Before your country of Britain either sinks into an Islamic 13 th century mess or survives, lots of people are going to get hurt by the inane feel good immigration laws Parliament has passed.
You might as well buy some KY jelly and bend over now or else quickly find the cajoles the whining liberals lost long ago.
Monsters.
Britain will not yield to ‘evil’ - Brown
code word for islam or muzzie terrorists!!!!
“Religion of peace, right?”
WRONG... Death Cult!
LLS
That is all well and good, but the thing to watch for is action, not rhetoric.
