So there was the MBA who tried to detonate some goofy contraption in New York... there was also Mr. Shoe Bomber ... and don't forget the doctors who drove the SUV into the airport in Scotland a while back, and now I read this, about a quote unquote "terrorist" group in Canada.

From the Globe:

"Following Ahmad's speech, Mr. Shaikh was tasked with asking all the participants what they would do to further the cause when they got home, he testified. One man said he would help recruit people, Mr. Ansari said he would offer his computer expertise and the 14-year-old participant said he would give his allowance money to the cause, Mr. Shaikh said."


I mean, why don't we just call the War on Terror over, as the terrorists really seem to lack any real credibility -or competence- these days.

Really, when the "Jihad" is being funded by some kid handing over the $5 he gets a week for doing the dishes and cleaning his room, it might be time to start calling it quits...

No, they really don't.

I'm not scared of terrorism. I'm scared of a government using terrorism as an excuse to expand itself.

Scared of these guys

Any more?

Oh, you mean fear credibility, not moral credibility.

Yes, they do. The continuing and on-going proliferation of nuclear weapons means a well-organized cell of terrorists can annihilate a major North American city quite easily (but who are we kidding: it would be New York followed by DC).

However, Obama is taking this threat very seriously, and doing so while withdrawing from Iraq. So, while I don't exactly feel perfectly safe, I feel like the politicians are doing what they can, and focusing on whats important. So I am satisfied, and I don't worry about my safety on a daily basis (what's the point, anyway?).

it's really too bad we are spending so much effort on foreign threats. you should see the threats coming from organized domestic crime.

Truly frightening.

The real terrorists are the CIA and our own government. So the question should be whether the government, which staged the Oklahoma City bombing, 9/11, and blatantly/deliberately lied to take us to war in Iraq has any credibility. I guess there are still a lot of totally clueless people who trust the government and the mainstream media out there, so the answer is probably yes. But people are starting to wake up.

Terrorism is a misnomer. The west is at war with radical Islam. Those attacking us cross borders and assume a very thin vaneer of nationality. They become part of the western country in which they live. They blend in. They are following, among other ideas, the thoughts of Sayyid Qutb. He was executed sometime in the 60s by the Egyptian dictator Nasser but his thoughts continue.

The London bombers, Hassan, the American born cleric hiding out in Yemen (his name escapes me now and I couldn't spell it anyway) and the TS bomber are all examples of this. They act like westerners. They blend in to western society but in actual fact they owe only allegience to radical Islamic ideas. They bring with them all of the failings of Islamic society. They are bent on the destruction of the west.

Western quilt and open borders make it very difficult for us to defend ourselves. We should be deporting radical immams and their followers by the plane loads. But we don't have the political will to do so. Those like visitorg, who spread conspiracist theories, play into the Islamists hands.

As the cleric in yemen said. 'jihad is as American as apple pie.'

LoL! The government is just another name for "our terrorist". How can you talk about credibility? That's like asking which is the better pedophile, my father or yours?

Seriously. Try looking at things with eyes wide open. This is what makes one really alive and free. Not bound or gagged or brainwashed. As Dylan sang,
"kill a little and they throw you in jail, kill a lot and they make you king".

I'm wondering when the scales are gonna tip and the Islamic Fundies finally figure out that the hate-filled crap the imams spew just isn't all that cool (nor serves themselves personally particularly well).

I suppose I shouldn't hold my breath.

Didn't know where to put this, I feel this blog post fits better in this thread than in its own thread.
