"Peaceful" Islam ... my advice for the Brits and Deutsch is to make these people in sleeper cells "sleep" permanently.

I don't know, if I were Al-Qaeda I'd stay away from attacks in Europe. They have a lot of friends in the European American hating elite.

bump!

didn't the Guardian just yesterday say that the UK should quit the war on terrorism (Bush's war) because it wasn't the UK's war??

[gwynapnudd]

London will be next.

Trust me, Germans are not too happy about this influx of evil, er Muslims BUT they need someone to absorb the costs of socialism as the population greys. What will be more important - money for socialism or safety? Or perhaps coersion into being a Muslim? Would the later be the most satisfactory since "religion" is not too important over there anymore?

As bad as it sounds, I can't imagine anything better than several vicious attacks on Notre Dame or the Bundestag. What else will it take for the Great Appeasers to finally "get it". Of course, the problem is, all that would do is to raise their anger against AMERICA as being responsible because of our foreign policies. They would never dream of blaming the Arab regimes for whom they have been whores for so many decades. They would repeat their call for an immediate P.A. state and send $100 billion in "aid" to remedy the poverty which created the "need" for terrorism.

Europeans are easy targets, and their on the fence about this whole war on terror, so attacking them would help al-Qaida, whereas attacking America would only earn them increased wrath on our part. The last time foreign terrorists hit Germany with a big operation (at the Munich Olympics), Germany caved in to them, and released all of the terrorists they took prisoner. England won't cave, but I'll bet Germany would (and the other countries around it wouldn't join).

If we are surveilling al-Qaida terrorists, why aren't we killing (assassinating) them?

[buzzcat]

Well, thanks so much CIA! Just where the bleep were you guys on 9/10? Watching Monday Night Football, like the rest of us? Do you pick up ABC there at Langley, you dip-sh**s? Thanks for "warning" Europe, though, we appreciate it, fellas. You big dopes. Ohh...I need a break now. This is insane.

The argument - that Islamic radicals wouldn't attack Europe because they have support there - could also be applied within the United States. What part of the United States is the home of self-hating media, the spiritual center of the American pacifist and defeatist left? My answer would be New York. When they attacked it, they effectively reduced potential criticism of American military retaliation. It doesn't seem like a smart move, but as a poster pointed out, they don't think like us. During World War II, the fascist states made some dumb moves that hastened their defeat. The same thing may happen here.
