...WELL DONE!!!....Keep up the good work..Australian and Indonesian police proving it can be done...

The cell is alleged to be close to JI military leader Abu Dujanah.

Must be those right-wing fundamentalist Christian terrorist cells who don't believe in seperation of church and state.

That or US hedgemony, Bu$h's war for oil, American immorality, Zionism... after all, everyone knows that Islam is a religion of peace.

Why are there so many Islamists that are so quick to blow up and kill? How does Islam find so many adherents who love the life style?

There is a U.S. southern rock group who has a good rock song on how the west should react to this unwanted war:

They claim that the homicidal ways of Islam have the whole watching.

"They claim that the homicidal ways of Islam have the whole watching."


...homicidal ways of Islam have the whole world arming to the teeth and preparing for all out conflict....

I knew music takes a long time to get to the UK but Stuck Mojo has been around a long time now and you call it "southern rock group"?

Gosh

I just love introductions lines like "Looks as if some serious interior spiritual struggle was in the works"---actually laughed out loud at that one.

From posting above:

***TRUE Southern Rock bands that might offend Islamists properly:

Alabama: Can't Keep a Good Man Down

Black Oak Arkansas: High on the Hog

The Charlie Daniels Band: Simple Man (may contain the best remedy yet for Islamic extremists)

Lynyrd Skynyrd: Saturday Night Special

Marshall Tucker Band: (began in SPARTANburg, SC) Ok that’s a stretch…

Molly Hatchet: Flirtin’ with Disaster

-XRDC

the other Lynyrd Skynyrd tune: Gimme back my bullets.....

The problem is what kind of ammo and guns as all ammo and guns are not terrorist weapons.

a boxcutter can be a terrorist weapon...
