"This morning I was driving to work and a woman on the radio said she'd had her headscarf pulled. I was shocked, to be honest," said Ahmed Shafi, 31, a grocery store manager. "In this day and age you don't expect that." OH THE HUMANITY!!!

If this happened at Gitmo it would be considered torture.

[OKIEDOC]

Let the backlash begin.

Weren't these the same Muslim people who threw feces on the American flag and burned iut in the streets in celebration after 9-11.

Aren't these some of the same people who mocked our dead and said we deserved all the terrorism that came our way.

Oh crap! wasn't that also some of the same Democratic leadership response.

[Hunble]

It is the religous duty of all Moslems to assist the authorities, in any way possible, in the apprehension and prosecution of the perpetrators of the London bombings and any other terrorist act.

This should be the headline on every newspaper around the world.

That said, what gives us the right to gleefully hope and pray for the persecution of an entire class of people?

The fact they have declared a war of extermination against us, and are opening waging it.

And I don't buy for a minute that it is just few bad apples. Not anymore.

Islam is not a religion of peace. It is a death cult created by a psychopath to make other psychopaths feel good about themselves. As such it is particularly dangerous because it attracts psychopaths who use it to justify their depravity.

Not all mosquitoes are actually infected with malaria either, but that is not a reason to not drain the swamp.

"IIRC the IRA always used to call the police and tell them where the bombs were before they went off, so that people would not be killed by them. Makes a big difference to the people who weren't killed, I'd wager."

The IRA always had an eye for their support base which wouldn't have stood large scale random bloodshed. Not that their bombs didn't kill plenty of people. I'm not sure that's much of a claim to the moral highground though.

give'm a bus ticket and say "bye"

"Muslims Crowding London's Mosques Say They Fear Backlash in Aftermath of Bombing"
Boo friggin' hoo!

[OKIEDOC]

Sounds good to me.

Take care of their own problems.

"well if you were born and raised there its pretty hard to go back to somewhere you are not really from"

But religion is everything to them. Wouldn't these, animals... er, people, be more comfortable with their brothers in the Middle East?

(I know they'd be a more attactive target all gathered up in one region).

[technochick99]

Just ignore all the public statements by all the major London Muslim groups condemning the bombings since we can magically tell that they are all lying, don't you know?

You left out "Keep posting 'Why don't the Muslems do anything?' even though it is repeated that several cells have been broken up already. "

[Lijahsbubbe]

based onthe actions of a fanatical few?

A FEW? You'd better wake up and smell the falafel! If you don't every day, that is.

[thoughtomator]

You have put your finger on the difference - Muslims will stand for large scale random bloodshed. Christians do not, nor do the followers of any other major religion. This is a very substantial difference, given that there are 1.2 billion plus people who can reasonably be assumed to be supporters of this large scale random bloodshed.

[RonF]

What acts did any terrorist, in London or elsewhere during my lifetime, ever take in behalf of the name of Christ? I know that there were plenty of such misguided acts performed on behalf of a desire for independence, but not to establish Christianity and destroy "infidels".

[Lijahsbubbe]

When that evangelical Christian shot up the abortion clinic in Pensacola, Fl., was that not an act of terrorism in the name of Christianity?

Did he have fellow jihadists doing the same thing, all over the world? I think not.

[princess leah]

Truth factor: Islam/Muslim is neither a religion nor a religion of peace - it is a CULT!

[BMIC]

When that evangelical Christian shot up the abortion clinic in Pensacola, Fl., was that not an act of terrorism in the name of Christianity?

Technically, no. Abortion clinic staff and their customers are murderers and accomplices to murder, not innocents. I TOTALLY disagree with his violent actions, but they were not directed at truly innocent third parties. If he had shot up the liquour store a half mile down the street from the abortion clinic, THAT would have been terrorism.

[thoughtomator]

Not too few, by conservative estimates some hundred million plus people.

There is a substantial difference between the corrupt use of the Bible to justify evil, and the actual, correct use of the Koran, which justifies evil. The former is a lie - the latter is true.

[RightWhale]

Ignoring all the template stuff, why would such a group of people who can expect only a better life after this one be so concerned with this paranoia about the possibility that someone might not like them because their fellow travellers are bombing crowds, building, and trains? Seems like it wouldn't matter to them.

[The_Media_never_lie]

This should not be singled out as 'Islamic terrorists.' That destabilizes the community.

Then let's call them "Southern Baptist terrorists", like Bill Moyers called Pat Robertson and Jerry Fallwell, or "Morman terrorists", just for diversity's sake. But that would be silly, right? How silly can PC be to call something other than what it is?

[lastfreeamerican]

Yeah, maybe we should just line 'em all up--men, women, and children--and exteminate 'em! Or maybe you're just a sadist half-wit.
