Paj! Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 2 years ago, on July 7, the horrendous bombings happened. it was also the day of my School "Exhibiton" (Farewell for the summer thing). Then this happened this year, on my Exhibition, AGAIN! Dun-Dun-DUUUN.
Mikey Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 As Ant says, ignorance is bliss. I don't need to be an expert to know enough that it's a load of muck.
Shino Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Doesn't lool like Al-Qaeda's work, its just not big enough and too rudimentary. Why waste a perfectly good terrorist cell with something like this.
UziT Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Their problem is, we're infidels, and must be destroyed. This is why I don't like Islam. erm excuse me, I study Islam...and no where does it say that.
mike-zim Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 i want to start a terrorist group and terrorise the terrorists. Find out who they are and car bomb the fuck out of them.
UziT Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 i want to start a terrorist group and terrorise the terrorists. Find out who they are and car bomb the fuck out of them. Then your no differnt to them if you can go with that mentality.....oh well
mike-zim Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 i dont really care. if i wiped em out before they wiped me out then i could stop. and the world would be a better place.
UziT Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 i dont really care. if i wiped em out before they wiped me out then i could stop. and the world would be a better place. Good point hehe,
AshMat Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 I don't efven think this was terrorists tbh, just a car with gas cans..
Haver Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 erm excuse me, I study Islam...and no where does it say that. Well, this gets to the heart of the problem, in that submitting oneself, fanatically in some cases, to wish-thinking and deity-worship, one can commit the most terrible acts in the name of that God, or that book. This is what happens when you let a book, your or your Masters' interpretation of a book, no less, live your life. Hence Hamas, hence Iran, hence al-Qaeda, hence jihadism and so on.
Ramar Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 I'm just pleased they foiled the attack, and in a selfish way, glad it was this thursday and not next thursday when I'm in London. Because if an attack happened while I was in London it would shit me up for life, if I wasn't direct involved that is.
rokhed00 Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 I don't efven think this was terrorists tbh, just a car with gas cans.. Yep, probably just someone stocking up so they can keep their generator going when the apocalypse comes.
conzer16 Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Can't believe people have resorted to blaming Islam and Muslims already. That is so fucking bigotted of you. It could be some toff nosed English mentaller for a we know at the moment. Grow up the lot of you and stop being such xenophobic gobshites.
Daft Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 I've just come back from there. Its a bit wierd seeing that street empty... Also I haven't seen so many tourists in London for ages, its absolutly packed...more so than normal.
Guest Jordan Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Holy crap Mikey. I'd stop now digging that hole right about now.
stuwii Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 We should just send an H-Bomb to those countries and wipe them all out. I'm kidding of course, that'd be ridiculous. Wouldnt put it past USA
Haver Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Can't believe people have resorted to blaming Islam and Muslims already. That is so fucking bigotted of you. It could be some toff nosed English mentaller for a we know at the moment. Grow up the lot of you and stop being such xenophobic gobshites. And let you grow up too! Simple empiricism tells us that this is more likely the work of either al-Qaeda jihadists or their sympathizers than it is the work of the IRA or the ALF or the 'toff nosed English mentaller' (especially considering the 'international element' to the bomb equipment quoted by the BBC). It is reasonable to suggest that, is it not? And there you have it: http://www.guardian.co.uk/terrorism/story/0,,2114743,00.html We cannot be afraid to condemn jihad or Islamo-fascism for fear of upsetting Muslims, in the same way we must not be afraid of giving one of our best authors a knighthood for fear of upsetting Pakistan.
conzer16 Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 And let you grow up too!

It is reasonable to suggest that, is it not? International element to the bomb equipment?? Nails, Gas canisters, Petrol and a mobile phone?? Oh please dont make me laugh... Edit: Islam and Muslim have become bywords for terrorism and terrorist. That's all due to the paranoia reulting from Bush and Blair's invasion of Iraq. It's wrong to assume straight off that Islamic terrorists are responsible even if they are found to be after the investigation, but blaming an incident on them as soon as it happens is bigotted and wrong. Ooooh Car bomb = Islamic militants from Iraq!!! I suppose a pipe bomb would equate to Irish republicans??
Haver Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 I don't see how that is laughable. 'The device was described by counter-terrorism sources as similar to car bombs used in Iraq.' (Guardian)
Shino Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 I don't see how that is laughable. 'The device was described by counter-terrorism sources as similar to car bombs used in Iraq.' (Guardian) That's hardly any evidence.
conzer16 Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 I don't see how that is laughable. 'The device was described by counter-terrorism sources as similar to car bombs used in Iraq.' (Guardian) Similar does not mean the same as or caused by Muslims Nails and petrol are just as widely available in London as in Baghdad. What a stupid argument.
Haver Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Well, it is. It is evidence. It suggests to us that the bomb makers were either inspired by that sort of improvised device, or were instructed to build that sort of improvised device. Of course, it may prove to be coincidental. But it is evidence, and evidence is at the heart of reason. It is simple empiricism, given the diminishing IRA threat, to submit that it is more likely that a terrorist threat in London would be an Islamic one. Of course we do not know, but we can suppose based on empirical evidence. To suggest otherwise is wet. Similar does not mean the same as or caused by Muslims Nails and petrol are just as widely available in London as in Baghdad. What a stupid argument. You are preaching to the wrong person, my man. I am referring to Islamic terrorists, or jihadists. Not Muslims, although, obviously, Islamic terrorists are Muslims by definition.
BlueStar Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 i want to start a terrorist group and terrorise the terrorists. Find out who they are and car bomb the fuck out of them. I believe that was pretty much the ideology of outlawed loyalist paramilitary groups like the UDF and the Red Hand Defenders, and indeed the 'justification' of at least some of the factions blowing shizzle up outside rival factions mosques over in eye-rack. Indeed the US are supplying some militant groups in Iraq with funds and weapons in the hope that they're the 'good' terrorists. Can't see that backfring at all.
