British response

Re: British response

The British response won't be a swing to the far right - you waaay out of touch with the British public if you think that.

Britain's pride will mean Business As Usual. The only difference will be that so as not to give the impression that troop withdrawals occured due to the bombings, Britain will cancel planned troop withdrawals from Iraq and, if anything, send more troops to Iraq to defy the bombers.

Re: British response

The brits are REALLY pissed off. They're going to go after the terrorists who committed this heinous attack like a tiger after a deer. And may God/Allah Bless them and guide them in this pursuit especially because they are being SO careful not to place blame prior to examining the evidence and MAKING SURE they get the right Neanderthals who came up with the whole demonic plan.

Re: British response

They are being very methodical in their investigation. I was listening to the press conference given by the metro police commissioner, Sir John Tullah something and this other special operations dude, Andy. They didnt make premature judgement as to who could be responsible for this. They were throw questions about that site and some Mohammad dude and "islamists" and "al-qaeda" etc by the various reporters. I liked how they didnt politicized their replies. They said that the investigation is still in the early stages. Blair and Home Sec on the other hand have already said publically that this has the signature of Al-Qaeda written all over it.

How is that relevent to incidents in the UK? You can assume and guess, but if your eally want to guage the danger levels for the British muslims then I suggest you deviate to British newspapers - Guardian is my personal favourite.

Re: British response

actually hiccup is right Verizon.. the US presstitutes are only going to use the British tragedy for their agenda..

I saw a stark contrast in the way the British public reacted.. they are not new to terrorism and blasts.. and they really showed their character yesterday... they were graceful even in the face of such a disaster.... I'd say most American could learn a thing or two from them..

Now if only the investigation isn't sidetracked by dodgy dossiers again..

Re: British response

Diabolical intent to kill and maim innocents not a positive catalyst toward terrorist goal.

The likely effect of this terror attack is the creation of ammuntion favorable toward the war on terror and the for the coaliton in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I don't understand the thinking of those who join in such activities or support the so-called jihadi groups.

The impression I get is .....
that if such groups formed the ruling power.....
likely exists that same kind of tactics would be used
own people that might disagree...

Hiccy,

LI unfortunately NO and I dont allude, I present facts till ppl acknowledge “that they can hear me now”, Let me post it for you lil wankers. See in red, thats what I have been b1tching about eversince I joined GS. Mulims need to start condemning these attacks. On the same token it is unfortunate that ppl on GS are still siding with the ppl that will not hesitate to blow them up as well to push their senseless, egocentric agendas (whatever they maybe, poppy cultivation, terrorist camps, shia oil controlled by minority sunnis in iraq whatever).

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/08/o…08friedman.html

Yesterday’s bombings in downtown London are profoundly disturbing. In part, that is because a bombing in our mother country and closest ally, England, is almost like a bombing in our own country. In part, it’s because one assault may have involved a suicide bomber, bringing this terrible jihadist weapon into the heart of a major Western capital. That would be deeply troubling because open societies depend on trust - on trusting that the person sitting next to you on the bus or subway is not wearing dynamite.

The attacks are also deeply disturbing because when jihadist bombers take their madness into the heart of our open societies, our societies are never again quite as open. Indeed, we all just lost a little freedom yesterday.

But maybe the most important aspect of the London bombings is this: When jihadist-style bombings happen in Riyadh, that is a Muslim-Muslim problem. That is a police problem for Saudi Arabia. But when Al-Qaeda-like bombings come to the London Underground, that becomes a civilizational problem. Every Muslim living in a Western society suddenly becomes a suspect, becomes a potential walking bomb. And when that happens, it means Western countries are going to be tempted to crack down even harder on their own Muslim populations.

That, too, is deeply troubling. The more Western societies - particularly the big European societies, which have much larger Muslim populations than America - look on their own Muslims with suspicion, the more internal tensions this creates, and the more alienated their already alienated Muslim youth become. This is exactly what Osama bin Laden dreamed of with 9/11: to create a great gulf between the Muslim world and the globalizing West.

So this is a critical moment. We must do all we can to limit the civilizational fallout from this bombing. But this is not going to be easy. Why? Because unlike after 9/11, there is no obvious, easy target to retaliate against for bombings like those in London. There are no obvious terrorist headquarters and training camps in Afghanistan that we can hit with cruise missiles. The Al Qaeda threat has metastasized and become franchised. It is no longer vertical, something that we can punch in the face. It is now horizontal, flat and widely distributed, operating through the Internet and tiny cells.

Because there is no obvious target to retaliate against, and because there are not enough police to police every opening in an open society, either the Muslim world begins to really restrain, inhibit and denounce its own extremists - if it turns out that they are behind the London bombings - or the West is going to do it for them. And the West will do it in a rough, crude way - by simply shutting them out, denying them visas and making every Muslim in its midst guilty until proven innocent.

And because I think that would be a disaster, it is essential that the Muslim world wake up to the fact that it has a jihadist death cult in its midst. If it does not fight that death cult, that cancer, within its own body politic, it is going to infect Muslim-Western relations everywhere. Only the Muslim world can root out that death cult. It takes a village.

What do I mean? I mean that the greatest restraint on human behavior is never a policeman or a border guard. The greatest restraint on human behavior is what a culture and a religion deem shameful. It is what the village and its religious and political elders say is wrong or not allowed. Many people said Palestinian suicide bombing was the spontaneous reaction of frustrated Palestinian youth. But when Palestinians decided that it was in their interest to have a cease-fire with Israel, those bombings stopped cold. The village said enough was enough.

The Muslim village has been derelict in condemning the madness of jihadist attacks. When Salman Rushdie wrote a controversial novel involving the prophet Muhammad, he was sentenced to death by the leader of Iran**. To this day - to this day - no major Muslim cleric or religious body has ever issued a fatwa condemning Osama bin Laden. **

---

Some Muslim leaders have taken up this challenge. This past week in Jordan, King Abdullah II hosted an impressive conference in Amman for moderate Muslim thinkers and clerics who want to take back their faith from those who have tried to hijack it. But this has to go further and wider.

The double-decker buses of London and the subways of Paris, as well as the covered markets of Riyadh, Bali and Cairo, will never be secure as long as the Muslim village and elders do not take on, delegitimize, condemn and isolate the extremists in their midst.

Re: British response

^ its one thing to be a religious body, and another to be a major theocracy…clerical bodies of islam do not have state backing today, so they dare not issue no fatwas on Islamic militants…

Ever since you joined GS you have been craving attention under the pretence of “o great intellect”.

The article is crap. you have highlighted in brown - not red and I reiterate about the guardian.

You are right, you don’t allude. Just like every other self-loathing, racist, gora-wannabe, you recite half-baked theories and “facts” that present only one side of the story conveniently ignoring the “whole truth”. Only if the situation was as simple as moron Friedman portrays it to be. But your nose is buried so deep in his rear end, you are practically tasting his last brekkie! “Muslim Village”? What a joke!

I just realize that the article I posted is authored by a man called Juan Cole. “Juan” is most likely an American of Hispanic descent and not a gora like your unkil Tommy.

I like when you all get threatened by a desi taking a stance that is against the majority. I laugh when I am referred to as a "self-loathing, racist, gora-wannabe". Thank you Come again.

Oh BTW LI blunt question: do you agree with the 9/11 and 7/7 bombings that It is ok for militant muslims to wreak havoc on western interests by killing unarmed innocent citizens? Yes/No
