#3 "Why is "This centre sympathises with the Terrorists" if there were a radical Imam preaching there so out of line. "

nothing in the article you linked to indicates that a radical imam preached there.


"In the wake of the London bombings we have made contact with all vulnerable premises within the Lothian and Borders force area. We are providing patrols and regular checks of these premises on a daily basis.

But vulnerable people on subway trains are not an issue..."

Where in hell did you get the idea that UK security services arent A. Doing their utmost to provide security on the tubes and B. Doing their utmost to track down those behind the terracts??? All evidence I can see is that they are. Are you interested in baseless attacks on UK security? Or does it just bother you that they are also protecting muslims.

Look. AFAIK AQ WANTS vigilante attacks on muslims. They want to provoke reactions that will make muslims feel isolated from society, and so more likely to turn to AQ. That would parallel their strategy in Iraq, where they attack Shiites to provoke civil war.

The police protecting muslims are NOT just doing it out of altruism - theyre part of the effort to win this war.

#4 An especially important point to remember wrt Britain, where there have been many conversions to Islam among ethnically British natives.

Nothing says one doesn't. Since Muslims don't make a habit of exposing extremist imams to the public, we have no way of knowing. And, really, how do you know better than the guys living in the community?

Quoting (YET AGAIN) Amir Taheri:

Go to any mosque in the West (let alone in the Islamic countries) on any Friday and you are sure to hear a litany of woes about how the "cross-worshippers" have allied themselves with the "plotting Jews" in order to destroy Islam, which, as God's final message, is the only true faith.


Where in hell did you get the idea that UK security services...

Odd. I can't find where anyone -- in this thread at least -- said the UK authorities weren't doing their job. The original story doesn't say anything about that.

Look. AFAIK AQ WANTS vigilante attacks on muslims. They want to provoke reactions that will make muslims feel isolated from society, and so more likely to turn to AQ. That would parallel their strategy in Iraq, where they attack Shiites to provoke civil war.

I don't condone vandalism or unwarranted vigilanteism, but comparing some spray painting to murdering children seems a bit... over the top.

#6 Senior officers today branded the attacks "appalling" and said that security had been stepped up around the city's Muslim communities in the wake of the atrocities

hmmm...which atrocities would that be. The horrific graffiti on the walls or the 52 scorched and burned dead?

#8 Note that "racist graffit" was "daubed" on the Islamic buildings. Were these Christian churches or Jewish synagogues in a Muslim country, they would have been burnt to the ground.

#9 liberalhawk cares more about the feeling of Moslems (you know, the people who are committed to taqiya, jihad, and sharia) than about the life of innocents in London.

ANY MOSQUE is the location where Moslem preach taqiya, jihad and sharia. Hence a graffiti stating "this centre sympathises with the terrorists" is accurate.

#10 If I were to spray a message on a mossk, it would be "PROFILING THIS NOW, Be Aware" in Scottish. I will get a translation from my Fife mate, just in case I'm there one day.

Random T. And that would be a sub-species of what, more or less? The turd of the Devil?
