When I was still a member of what is probably best termed the British Jihadi Network - a series of British Muslim terrorist groups linked by a single ideology - I remember how we used to laugh in celebration whenever people on TV proclaimed that the sole cause for Islamic acts of terror like 9/11, the Madrid bombings and 7/7 was Western foreign policy.


By blaming the Government for our actions, those who pushed this "Blair's bombs" line did our propaganda work for us.

More important, they also helped to draw away any critical examination from the real engine of our violence: Islamic theology.

The attempts to cause mass destruction in London and Glasgow are so reminiscent of other recent British Islamic extremist plots that they are likely to have been carried out by my former peers.

An excellent expose of the real terrorism. An exclusivist religious zeal, to destroy anyone, everyone, not like themselves. It's amazing! Man seeks god, man finds god, man writes of god, and man augments the words, the inspiration of god, to speak to and for the hate they have in their own heart, and call it holy.

Tragic, indeed. I think the hope in the midst of all this terror, is not all muslims believe in this way. Meanwhile, the one's that do must be destroyed utterly. Because that's what they wish for us, without reservation.

So a quick question.....If you were witnessing someone murder innocent people infront of you...and you had a gun. You wouldnt shoot the person killing everyone, to save the lives of the others. If we sit back and allow evil to happen, we are just as bad as the person commiting the evil.

Ahh, but remember, Islam teaches the violence that they use. If you compare a Middle Eastern Muslim, and a Western Muslim you will see a noticeable difference. ME Muslims follow the Koran in their murder of unbelievers. Many of the ME Muslims don't believe that the Western Muslims are true Muslims. In fact, if a Western Muslim were to go to Iran, they'd be looked down upon. The Koran has in many places Allah himself telling his adherents to kill Christians and Jews. In other places it says to kill other innocent people. I have studied Islam quite a bit, however, being that I am a Christian and that I have faced many many people who have twisted and butchered the message and meaning of the Bible, I must (out of understanding) ask a Muslim person if this is true of the Koran?

Tell that to afghan women under the rule of the taliban. I have seen videos of women getting there heads blown off. I would torture the ever living poop out of people like that.

Some times you just don't have a choice...I am not going to allow my country to be threatened without responding and it is clear that talking gets nowhere with these folks...

Exactly...thats what this former terr. is talking about. Once you combine a Muderous group with a religious motivation...all bets are off.You have to do what you have to do to protect the innocent.

How does one get this message to those who repeat this rhetoric "Bush's War" and the like? Or do they even want to understand this?

Even if that means sinking to their level, would you do it?

This is not as easy as answering "should we use violence or not".

evil begets evil! you should know this chaos. Its not aquestion of innocence. Im sure we have all done some things that we are not proud of. Its a question of morals to me personally. I would stop those who you use violence and terror against the defenseless. which means yes to me i would use whatever means necessary. "bow down before the one you serve you're going to get what you deserve" NIN pretty hate machine I think
