#1 Further to my comments on this topic from yesterday, may I apologise for my totally out of order reply to LiberalHawk. Sometimes it is best to count to 10 slowly, take a long walk around the block and re-read the comment before submitting.

Won't happen again, and thank you for your civil, well-reasoned reply.

#4 NYT has a fairly long article dedicated to the local reaction. Lots of victimization, disbelief, anger. What was missing was outrage and self criticism. In other words, nothing's changed.

#5 The front cover of this week's Time Out?

Picture of a Policeman with the caption 'Friend or Foe' - Now, I wonder which community they're targeting? - Funny cos Muslims don't seem to go a bunch on 'time-out', unless of course we're talking spewing racist bile at Speaker's Corner or planning to blow things up / commit murder.

#6 How about a Irish style power-drill to the knee-caps? We all have our quaint traditions to uphold.

#7 Why is always a "backlash"? Why not call it a "nut reaction"? Have they started the "I was just at the wrong place at the wrong time" or the "George Bush lied to me" stuff yet?

#8 Have they started the "I was just at the wrong place at the wrong time" or the "George Bush lied to me" stuff yet?

They've started the old "it's a con trick to demonise Britain's mozzies" routine, and "we were fitted up by the Government or its stooges" ...

Raids seen as con trick to demonise Britain's Muslims
* Andrew Norfolk
* February 03, 2007

TO wander the streets of Sparkbrook, a suburb of Britain's second city, Birmingham, from shabby corner shop to proud, white-domed mosque, is to enter a world where conspiracy theories are the breath of life.
Many ordinary Muslims do not believe that this week's arrests were an act to foil a terrorist plot aiming to visit unspeakable barbarity on a young British soldier.

Rather, they see the entire operation as a giant con trick. This fits a growing perception of a post-9/11 world in which innocent Muslims are demonised and the terror threat is manufactured to suit the dark designs of the West's Judeo-Christian elite. ...

#10 I temember the old saying "If you don't want people to stare at you, don't dress that way.
Substitute "Act that way," and it applies here.

#11 Pitifully obvious use of the Iraq war in reporting on this case. They're not "Iraq-style" kidnappings; try Psychotic Islamic-style. Muzzies have been chopping heads since long before Iraq.

#12 Too bad that the part about holding the guy @ 15:00 on the motorway didn't conclude : "..in front of a speeding lorry..." or some other equally happy ending.
Getting so tired of the ankle grabbing attitude around the globe for all these goat -phuquers.
