More misunderstanders of Islam apprehended in London. From the BBC, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:
Armed police investigating the 21 July attempted bombings have made a number of arrests and surrounded flats in west London in "significant" operations.The area, around Dalgarno Gardens, North Kensington, has been cordoned off, and the area has been evacuated.
Eyewitnesses say they heard three shots and a large explosion as officers wearing gas masks entered a property.
Police are seeking three men in connection with the attempted bomb attacks in London.
Police are continually shouting at someone in the flat to come out. They are addressing him as "Muhammad".
The police are asking him: "What is the problem? Why can't you come out?
"Take your clothes off. Exit the building. Do you understand?"
Officers are telling other residents on the 350-property estate to "get inside now".
Scotland Yard say they are not aware of firearms having been used.
One eyewitness says a man dressed in a white forensic overall has been taken away in an unmarked police car.
Another has spoken of seeing three other people being taken away in a police van.
This is, unfortunately, just the beginning of things. August will keep the UK on its toes and busy. There will be plenty more [knock and raids] conducted and, while dominoes fall by the wayside, don't be fooled: that will not put an end to "this." There are plenty more, as the article reproted, "Mohammeds" to emerge and carry on the torch...after all, this is war.
Helpful hint to England's "intelligence" agencies...kill the terrorists before they kill your citizens.
Ex-post facto arrests are for countries that want to die.

It's a good start, but not nearly enough. It will take much, MUCH more to undo the damage of a decade of lax immigration policies. A lot more political correctness must be sacrificed to save the UK, as well as the rest of Europe from becoming Eurabia.
Excellent. Tony Blairs wife, Cherie Booth QC, & the growing Human Rights Industry in the UK will be delighted at the opportunity to defend these "men" (& women...I believe 2 women have been arrested at Liverpool Street Station) & make an absolute fortune in the process.
Tony Blair & his shoddy excuse for a Dhimmi Government introduced the European Convention on Human Rights into the UK - & his wife makes a living from it. She even lectured the Government the other day with regards to not recinding this Eurabian piece of heinous legislation & not curtailing the "Human Rights" of our citizens.
Personally, I don't think my Human or Civil rights will protect me from British born Islamic suicide bombers, Cherie.
Human Rights & Civil Liberties in the UK seem to be for Illegal Immigrants, Asylum Seekers, young Muslim women who want to sue their schools for discrimination & of course good British Muslims who have taken up the struggle. Cetainly not for Anglo Saxon taxpayers with no criminal record like myself...
Also taken from the same street:
"What is the problem? Why can't you come out?"
"Err...I'm not finished my bomb yet!"
"WHAT?"
"I mean...islam means peace!"

OT: Someone called Kevin Bold has declared Jihad against all of Roberts books on Amazon. We must counter all his lies with more and more positive reviews.

Are these men really terrorists? I thought they were an islamic version of laurel and hardy.
"Forensic overalls" -- one more item for the voracious lexicographers of English.
Just think of all the new words, and new definitions, that will appear, not only in the next OED (where some of them already may be found) but even in those abridged affairs tellingly called "collegiate" dictionaries:
Taqiyya
Kitman
Sira
Hadith
Sura
Ayat
Shahid
Takfir
Shirk
Muhaddithin
And think as well of the phrases, consisting of proper nouns, yet so useful and full of meaning, that first appeared here at Jihadwatch. Some have taken flight, while some are still on the runway waiting for the all-clear, but many will become part of the language (the "relevant discourse") for some time to come:
The New Duranty Times
The Bandar Beacon
MESA Nostra
"Muslims-for-Identification-Purposes-Only" Muslims (MIPOMs for short)
"Light-Unto-the-Muslim-Nations" Project
Magic Wonderstone
And you were there, that is to say here, At The Creation.
Hope no cops get killed, if you want the little rats to come-out just bomb the home, after-all that is what the rats in that house would do to you. the only good terrorists is a dead terrorists. the cops are way to nice in the UK.
Hugh, you are great, thank you.

Re Cherie Booth Blair, check out this article by Melanie Phillips entitled, "Put a sock in it, Cherie" which not only slices and dices Ms. Booth very nicely, but also excoriates the idiot law lords thusly:
"They decided that since foreign terror suspects were being locked up without trial whereas home grown suspects were not, this constituted unlawful discrimination. But foreign nationals do not have the rights or responsibilities of British citizens, who in turn cannot be deported. So how could it be discrimination when like was not being compared with like?"*
http://www.melaniephillips.com/articles/archives/001373.html
* we have a saying on this side of the Atlantic -- bullsh!t baffles brains. It also seems to baffle law lords.
"Police are continually shouting at someone in the flat to come out. They are addressing him as "Muhammad". "
That would be John "Muhammed" Smith, the well-known Methodist terrorist.
They've got all four of the scum.
It was classic viewing on the evening news.
Big up to the Met. & MI5.
"And (remember) when the disbelievers plotted against you, to imprison you, or to kill you, or to get you out (from your home); the Met and MI5 were plotting and Allâh too was plotting, and The Met. and MI5 are the Best of those who plotteth."
Kcur'an 8:30
Obviously the cops knew who the terroroists were, they just could do nothing until after the blood. That is a weakness we need to correct. Lighting the fuse, while not immediately destructive, usually results in destruction. To demand that we wait until the blast is asking too much.
Hugh,
"Just think of all the new words, and new definitions, that will appear, not only in the next OED"
Don't forget "religionist":
"Sen. Frank Shields, D-Portland, who said it appeared that the word [Jihad] was used in the e-mail in a "racist and religionist" way..."
From the BBC, more to ponder:

__quote___
One resident told BBC News 24 she was inside a block of flats on the estate at the time.
"They were shouting to him that he needed to come out with his arms up, in just his underwear.
"He was saying to them: 'how do I know when I come out, that you're not going to shoot me? I'm scared'."
__endquote__
So, he's a poor scared little terrorist now, is he? Not so hot for martyrdom, for some reason? What's going on here, a new level of Taqiyya?
I may be slow, but there could be two explanations.
The first is that the suspect is really, really good at lying, at portraying the victim and eliciting the sympathy of the high minded, which I guess is predictable terrorist schtick.
Or, perhaps equally predictably, the BBC are spinning it this way.
That way the BBC can take up their noble causes down the track, when the scared terrorists allege torture in custody, as per appropriate chapter and verse of their terrorist manual.
And Cherie Booth can defend them in court in front of liberal judges.
Does anyone expect any justice to be done?
(Hope I am wrong)
One more: "islamochristian"
"I suppose that the media and their portrayal of Islam and the almost tribal separations and divisions of the Muslims are the greatest issues confronting Muslims in the United Kingdom."
-Yusuf Islam(the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens)
He probably was genuinely frightened at being shot. But he will really begin to worry when he thinks of this (which SHOULD have been in the koran):
"And in the final days shall they beseige you, and frighten you, and laugh at your nakedness, for they force their prisoners to wear gossamer and lace. And you shall stuff your manhood into the gossamer and surrender. And you shall become a sacrifice, a virgin for the criminals, and you shall weep with shame and gnash your teeth in fear."
Welcome to jail, Ahab.
Shouldn't that be pink gossamer and lace ?
