Don't Mince Words: The London car-bomb plot was designed to kill women

Only at the tail end of the coverage was it admitted that a car bomb might have been parked outside a club in Piccadilly because it was "ladies night" and that this explosion might have been designed to lure people into to the street, the better to be burned and shredded by the succeeding explosion from the second car-borne cargo of gasoline and nails. Since we have known since 2004 that a near-identical attack on a club called the Ministry of Sound was proposed in just these terms, on the grounds that dead "slags" or "sluts" would be regretted by nobody, a certain amount of trouble might have been saved by assuming the obvious. The murderers did not just want body parts in general but female body parts in particular.

Right-such brave freedom fighters-targeting women and children. We ought to be very careful or we could face a situation with one of our schools such as in Russia a couple years ago. Of course, they think we will surrender if they do such a thing. In reality, they will push us until one day, these animals will get what they deserve.

Yeah. It there’s anything worse than a woman it’s a child!

IF there’s anything worse...

[I still care]

I remember years ago before 9/11 Netanyahou on a TV interview saying, Israel is the only country in the world that has to have soldiers stationed in its kindergartens.

I’m ashamed to say I didn’t understand what he meant at the time. Now we have become all too aware these monsters target children. I read the other day that the homicide bombers go specifically to streets where children are playing.

I just despise all the jihadist...I would care if they nuked countries who support their activities. It may come to that in the end.
