'Airlines terror plot' disrupted

A terrorist plot to blow up planes in mid-flight from the UK to the US has been disrupted, Scotland Yard has said.

It is thought the plan was to detonate explosive devices smuggled on to as many as 10 aircraft in hand luggage.

Police arrested about 18 people in the London area and West Midlands after an anti-terrorist operation.

High security is causing delays at all UK airports, Heathrow is closed to incoming flights, and MI5 has raised the threat level to critical.

According to MI5's website, critical threat level - the highest - means "an attack is expected imminently and indicates an extremely high level of threat to the UK".

Probably Quakers or Bhuddists.

no, it had to have been a "false flag" planted by orthodox Jewish diamond merchants......

how long until Islam is outlawed as a violent subversive bloodthirsty cult in some countries.

If Germany can ban scientology, why can't UK ban Islam. I mean Scientologists like Tom Cruise simply entertain, whereas Islam gives us planes trains and automobiles blowing humans to shreds, not to mention beheadings, hijackings, and assorted and sundry acts of sanctioned "holy" violence.

I say ban it.

How long before the Guardian starts talking about 'alienated, angry and disenfranchised' Muslim youth.

There are many people in the UK who are alienated, disenfranchised and angry at the policies of Blair and his government. Most people respond by writing letters of complaint to the papers or simply emigrating. Some Muslims respond by trying to commit mass murder. Why? Because they can find ample justification for such acts in the sacred texts of Islam.

Totally agree. Send these 'disenfranchised' BRITISH muslims over to the torture chamber in cuba, that will teach them, forced to stare at the sandy wall 24/7 with slim shady blasting away all day every day.

My sympathy for these guys has run thin, they have grown up in the uk and want to kill british citizens. If they are convicted, NO MERCY. Hang on I forgot this is Blair's Britain they will presumably be sent to a nice prison for a year or two then come out get a house for free get a load of benefits etc while they think of their next plot.

Even if they do get sent down for some pathetically short sentence, every year many thousands of their peace loving brothers arrive on our shores, replenishing the 'angry and disenfranchised' ranks of the Jihadis. And still we allow them to come and 'enrich' our society. Madness.

I've just heard that- for the forseeable future (i.e. until they determine the threat and whether current methods of detection are adequate) no liquids, lotions, gels, or creams are allowed to be carried on by plane passengers. The exception is baby formula.

How long before IGTG makes claims that mullahs and imams calling for infidel blood are no worse than inbred Appalachian snake handlers?

We are at war with Islam. This is a clash of civilizations. On one hand you have the west and others who follow the ideals of the 18th century enlightenment. On the other you have the followers of a 7th century ideology that promotes slavery, intolerance and the subjugation of women. We must destroy all those who follow that pernicious creed lest they destroy us first. The war has started. Those who deny is fact are either fools or knaves.

This is, in fact, the truth. Make no mistake, the followers of Islam WILL kill us if we don't destroy them first. To believe that Islam is a "religion of peace" is to not believe your own eyes.

This has nothing to do with "my god is better than your god" but it has everything to do with a real and growing danger to our world and our very lives. I don't think this is overstating things, it is simply true. They wish us dead. They must be stopped.

"We are at War with Islam."

Is Islam currently more prone to producing terrorists than other religions?
Yes.
But does this mean that the West is at war with the entire Islamic world, every Muslim?
Sorry, not convinced.

Would you agree that Blacks are inherently more violent than other races in America?
They're charged with more violent crimes, they make up a higher percentage of prison populations than anyone else...

That's the kind of 'logic' you are using.

You speak of race. I speak of ideology. I guess you can't see that there is a difference.

I speak of making inaccurate, bigoted assumptions, that's what I speak of.
I guess you can't see the difference either.

The problem with ideologies is: The harder you come down on them the more successful they become.....its a breeding ground for martyrs. Suicide bombers are a perfect example....25 years ago you never heard of these morons......then the first few went off....their families were rewarded financially and they were acclaimed as heroes....now anyone with a gripe can strap a bomb to themselves and kill innocents....the precedent has been set.

Ideologies deal in belief and obedience.....you feed enough crap to these young people and all of the sudden they are white knights battling against evil and dying gloriously for for their god. The biggest problem with Islam is that any moron can become a holy man and interpret the Koran as they see fit.


And like any religion there are a million people out there just waiting to believe in something!
