why there are mostly Pakistani people involved in these terror plots?
why aren’t the Indonesian Muslims as riled up about the west?
why aren’t the Bosnian Muslims involved…heck, there are enough of them in the UK…particularly in London.
why aren’t the Moroccan Muslims plotting to blow up planes headed for the US?
Re: I just would like to know....
Those communities are tiny in the UK. The biggest two by far are the pakistani and Bangladeshi communities - and members of both are alleged to have been involved.
Re: I just would like to know....
Also, attitudes from the home countries tend to be exported to communities abroad. Pakistan has much more religious violence at home than Indonesia, Bosnia, or Morocco.
Re: I just would like to know....
No one can account for a few bad apples here and there, but you have a valid question since this is becoming more of a recurring theme.
Before people jump in with conspiracy theories surrounding vile media and this being a fake distraction, this and the previous 7/7/ bombings in London demonstrate that Pak community in UK (and probably rest of the Europe as well) has recently shown more than its fair share of morons. These are people who dumb enough to be programmed and are being fed that violence and bombings against civilians is the way to revive the glory days of Islam or to fight enemies of Islam. We also have similar jihadi people on Gupshup, and seems to me that they sincerely believe that their way of figting the infidels is the only true way of Islam, and all the rest who disapprove are (best case) cowards and bad muslims and (worst case) outright munafiq/murtid/wajib-ul-qatl/etc.
Re: I just would like to know....
maddy,
my query is not directly related to the current arrests in UK.
it is a general thought that came to mind last night when I was watching the news.
what makes Pakistanis so emotionally skewed?
why are they the first to pick up arms to "defend Islam"?
why aren't other ethnicities as charged about these things?
Faisal makes good points...
Re: I just would like to know....
all these so called 'terror plots' are staged by US and UK governments, muslims are incapable of carrying out any such thing. pakistanis r made to be the culprits in order to put pressure on musharraf. its sad that people buy this bullcrap
Re: I just would like to know....
The suspects were aged between 17-25 and I assume none of them were married and had children to take care off. Lack of responsibility, boredom, media and events around the globe are some of the factors. I say, get them married as soon as they are done with a'levels and make them responsible for things around the house. No more spoon-feeding.
Re: I just would like to know…
now that is just plain denial.
Re: I just would like to know…
If that is true, then why is Pakistan claiming that it triggered these arrests based on information gained from 2 British guys of Pakistani descent in lahore and islamabad?
Why would Musharraf try and put pressure on himself?
Re: I just would like to know....
Muzna
u ahve been in UK too. i mean you take a narrow mided, prejudiced, bull**** fed lout from some village and move him to UK, he stays the same, his kids struggle between different set of expectations and identities, in many cases the racism of other locals add to the mix, and thats where in search of an identity and a peer group they get picked up by these radicals.
more later..
Re: I just would like to know....
Why would Musharraf try and put pressure on himself?
I dont know whats going on but I know for sure that its a scam put on by the UK govt to divert attention from the Israeli-lebanon war and renew peoples paranoia of muslims for any future military action in the middle east
Re: I just would like to know....
i just feel kinda bad 4 thoze guys their lives r ruinedd
but they called 4 it
Re: I just would like to know....
because Indonesia or Morocco aren't geopolitically that significant...
Re: I just would like to know....
It’s all a conspiracy, every Pakistani knows that they can talk a big talk but when its time for action, Pakistanis are no better than the stoned hippies.
Re: I just would like to know....
I couldn't agree with you more. You don't have a clue.
Re: I just would like to know....
Just on the news...they caught two middle eastern looking guys selling illegal cellphones in Ohio to support hizbollah! Yup, all hell has broken loose now. All Pakis are screwed.
Re: I just would like to know....
I'll find out sooner or later and I can assure its all a hoax just like 9/11
Re: I just would like to know…
Pakistan’s government is now saying that Al-Qaeda might be involved. Again, given that Pakistan is one of the countries demanding an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon, is makes no sense for Pakistan to involve itself in a fake scheme to distract attention from Lebanon and stop there being a ceasefire.
Pakistan would only say these things if its own investigations found them to be true.
Re: I just would like to know....
Totally agree with you. One thing I wanted to add was lack of education as well. I bet these guys flunked their way out of school and have no 9 to 5 job. These type of guys either become sharabi-kababi or they spend all their free time at more extreme masjids listening to radical armchair warriors. If the had a job and a boss they had to answer to, and a family to support, let's see how much energy they would have at 6pm after a long hard day at work.
Re: I just would like to know…
Actually a fair number of them were married and some had kids.
