#8  I've often wondered about the Muslim fascination with explosives as compared to guns.

To be fair, explosives have been the weapon of choice for anarchists, revolutionaries, terrorists, et al, for centuries.

Unlike firearms, components are reasonably available and generally can be purchased or stolen. More 'bang for the buck' in terms of casualties and publicity generated.

Unlike, say, Bill Ayres and his ilk, muslims go up with their explosives, either by design or, more likely, through carelessness.

#7  I've often wondered about the Muslim fascination with explosives as compared to guns. It may reflect a deep seated sense of sexual inadequacy. The explosions are larger than life and a way to compensate.

#4  Google translation of latest from Aftonbladet:
About ten minutes before the explosions sent an email to TT, also addressed to the Security Service, where a man turns to "Sweden and the Swedish people". He refers to the Swedish silence on Lars Vilks paintings, the Swedish soldiers in Afghanistan, saying that "now is your children, daughters and sisters die same as our brothers and sisters and children are dying."

- Our actions will speak for themselves. As long as you do not stop your war against Islam and degrading to the Prophet and your stupid support for the pig Vilks, "says the man.

Then the man calls all Muslims in Sweden to "stop suck up and humiliate you." He ends the message with yet another call for "all the mujahideen in Europe and Sweden":

- It's time to turn to, wait no longer. Come up with whatever you are although it is a knife and I know you have more than one knife to come by. Fear not, fear not a prison, do not fear death.

#3  A classmate of Faisal, the Times Square Fizzlebomber? The one who had a background in chemistry rather than finance?

#2  I'm thinking either the Wikileaks guys, or Anonymous.

Then again, it could be those Norwegians up to their old tricks.
