Are you really suggesting Jimmy Hendrix, jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Stanley Clark etc were responsible for the London bombings??? Maybe it was all conspired by Elvis' ghost. Please tell me after all your ranting and raving you are really not the dumb dick you make yourself out to be. No matter how much you plead you cannot deny the fact that America is ultimately responsible for any deaths that have occurred in London. Forget it, Dude, this ain't our fault. -- Chris F.

He is clinging to a pathetically desperate argument that a 5 year old would not resort to. His problem is that he dug himself into a hole that he can't get out of - AGAIN! He has indeed dug himself into a hole with this one. I wonder what figure he thinks is above the amount he feels would fail to qualify as minimising the deaths? 51? 52? America's heart bleeds for the British people and are ready to help in anyway asked. Thank you. One would think that this would be the time for him smarten up and put rivalry aside in a time when his nation is under attack. There is an alert in the city of Birmingham at present. Anthropy could find himself travelling on a bus, train etc when a bomb goes off. Does he think that his love of his heroes will protect him from the blast or will his faith in the bombers intentions shield him from harm? I don't mean that he should bow to American's or change his views, but he should at least shake our hands when we are reaching our out. He seems to think that the bombers are offering up their hands to him in friendship. |

This is an important read!
For a Decade, London Thrived as a Busy Crossroads of Terror LONDON, July 9 - Long before bombings ripped through London on Thursday, Britain had become a breeding ground for hate, fed by a militant version of Islam. For two years, extremists like Sheik Omar Bakri Mohammed, a 47-year-old Syrian-born cleric, have played to ever-larger crowds, calling for holy war against Britain and exhorting young Muslim men to join the insurgency in Iraq. In a newspaper interview in April 2004, he warned that "a very well-organized" London-based group, Al Qaeda Europe, was "on the verge of launching a big operation" here. In a sermon attended by more than 500 people in a central London meeting hall last December, Sheik Omar vowed that if Western governments did not change their policies, Muslims would give them "a 9/11, day after day after day." If London became a magnet for fiery preachers, it also became a destination for men willing to carry out their threats. For a decade, the city has been a crossroads for would-be terrorists who used it as a home base, where they could raise money, recruit members and draw inspiration from the militant messages. Among them were terrorists involved in attacks in Madrid, Casablanca, Saudi Arabia, Israel and in the Sept. 11 plot. Zacarias Moussaoui, the only man charged in the United States in the 9/11 attacks, and Richard C. Reid, the convicted shoe-bomber, both prayed at the Finsbury Park mosque in north London. The mosque's former leader, Abu Hamza al-Masri openly preached violence for years before the authorities arrested him in April 2004. Although Britain has passed a series of antiterrorist and immigration laws and made nearly 800 arrests since Sept. 11, 2001, critics have charged that its deep tradition of civil liberties and protection of political activists have made the country a haven for terrorists. The British government has drawn particular criticism from other countries over its refusal to extradite terrorism suspects. For years, there was a widely held belief that Britain's tolerance helped stave off any Islamic attacks at home. But the anger of London's militant clerics turned on Britain after it offered unwavering support for the American-led invasion of Iraq. On Thursday morning, an attack long foreseen by worried counterterrorism officials became a reality. "The terrorists have come home," said a senior intelligence official based in Europe, who works often with British officials. "It is payback time for a policy that was, in my opinion, an irresponsible policy of the British government to allow these networks to flourish inside Britain." Those policies have been a matter of intense debate within the government, with the courts, the Blair government and members of Parliament frequently opposing one another. For example, when the Parliament considered a bill in March that would have allowed the government to impose tough controls on terror suspects - like house arrests, curfews and electronic tagging - some legislators objected, saying it would erode civil liberties. "It does not secure the nation," William Cash, of the House of Commons, said of the bill. "It is liable to create further trouble and dissension among those whom we are seeking to control - the terrorists." The measure is still pending. Investigators examining Thursday's attacks, which left at least 49 dead and 700 injured, are pursuing a theory that the bombers were part of a homegrown sleeper cell, which may or may not have had foreign support for the bomb-making phase of the operation. If that theory proves true, it would reflect the transformation of the terror threat around Europe. With much of Al Qaeda's hierarchy either captured or killed, a new, more nimble terrorist force has emerged on the continent, comprising mostly semiautonomous, Qaeda-inspired local groups that are believed to be operating in France, Switzerland, Spain, Italy and other countries. "Terrorists are not strangers, foreigners," said Bruno Lemaire, adviser to Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin of France. "They're insiders, well integrated inside the country." Another senior intelligence official based in Europe said the fear was that there would be additional attacks in other European cities by homegrown sleeper cells inspired by Al Qaeda and by the attacks in Casablanca, Madrid and now London. "This is exactly what we are going to witness in Europe: most of the attacks will be carried out by local groups, the people who have been here for a long time, well integrated into the fabric of society," the official said. http://tinyurl.com/7p273 -- Chris F.

I watched Ken Livingstone (Mayor of London) on TV making an emotional statement about the London bombing whilst evoking the image of a multicultural community suffering together. I thought what a hypocrit. He is the one who publicly embraced, in London, Yusuf al-Qaradawi a Muslim cleric who supports suicide bombing. For example: 'Qaradawi on use of Children in Suicide Bombing: "We cannot say that the [Israeli suicide bombing] casualties were innocent civilians. They are not civilians or innocent"; "The Israelis might have nuclear bombs but we have the children bomb." ‘Life and Religion’ discussion programme, Al-Jazeera TV 28/4/02 As transcribed and translated in Al Jazeera programme debates Arab stand on infitadah, suicide bombers BBC Monitoring 30/4/02'. As a consequence Livingstone has been in dispute with a substantial constituency of London citizens ranging from Gays to Jews, Muslims and Hindus since 2004. Here are a few links dealing with this dispute. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programme...ht/3875119.stm http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/enc...-Qaradawi1.htm http://www.matthiaskuentzel.de/artikel.php?artikelID=30 http://www.london.gov.uk/view_press_...releaseid=3862 http://www.universityracism.multiser...t/Qaradawi.htm http://www.wpiran.org/wb177%20Living...20and%20us.htm http://www.londoncommunitycoalition.org/ http://www.axt.org.uk/HateMusic/essa...timisation.htm I wonder if Livingstone would embrace Qaradawi today? Should Livingstone now do the honorable thing and go? |
