Why on earth do people keep saying, "There but for the grace of God "? If matters had been very slightly different over the past weekend, the streets of London and the airport check-in area in Glasgow, Scotland, would have been strewn with charred body parts. And this would have been, according to the would-be perpetrators, because of the grace of God. Whatever our own private theology or theodicy, we might at least agree to take this vile belief seriously.
Instead, almost every other conceivable explanation was canvassed. The June 30 New York Times report managed to quote three people, one of whom attributed the aborted atrocity in London to Tony Blair's foreign policy; one of whom (a New Zealand diplomat, at that) felt "surprisingly all right about it"; and one of whom, described as "a Briton of Indian descent," was worried that "if I walk up that road, they're going to suspect me." The "they" there was clearly the British authorities, rather than the Muslim gangsters who have declared open season on all Hindus as well as all Jews, Christians, secularists, and other kuffar or infidel filth.

This guy is such an attention-seeking ass.
It’s long past time for the West to ban immigration and “refugees” from predominantly Muslim countries, to deport immigrants from those countries who are not citizens or here on valid visas (and to deny visa extenstions to those who are here on visas) and to identify adequate additional sources of energy that we will no longer fund radical Isalm. How many more Americans, Britons, Spaniards, and Dutch have to die before we isolate the cancer that is radical Islam?
Word up, yo!
Women and minorities hardest hit.
Or a big diaper! I guess he never saw the hit play “Your Arms are too short to box with God”! Vitriol and Venom are his companions now....sad
Do not worry, Chris! Atheists will take up arms and save the planet!
Do you have any suggestions on who else may be qualified? (Believers in religion are disqualified)
So far, looks like it's just the two of ya.
Better eat yer Wheaties.
I don't understand. Please explain.

Perhaps, afterward, the inferred linkage between substantive exploits and “Wheaties” will be more apparent.
Atheist veteran checking in, boss. Ready to save the planet, if they’d take me.
