Livid Lutherans? Angry Anglicans? Cantankerous Catholics? Nope. More on this story. "Official: Germans, Brits behind Europe terror plot," by Asif Shahzad and Paisley Dodds for the Associated Press, September 30:
ISLAMABAD - Eight Germans and two British brothers are at the heart of an al-Qaida-linked terror plot against European cities, but the plan is still in its early stages, with the suspects calling acquaintances in Europe to plan logistics, a Pakistani intelligence official said Thursday. One of the Britons died in a recent CIA missile strike, he said.
The revelations underscore the role of Pakistan as a haven for many would-be Islamist militants with foreign ties, a worrying prospect for Western countries who face additional challenges when tracking terror suspects among citizens who have passports and easier access to their shores.
Pakistan, Britain and Germany are tracking the suspects and intercepting their phone calls, the official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information to the media.
The official is part of an intelligence team that has been tracking the two British brothers of Pakistani origin for nearly a year and the Germans for more than six months.
He said the suspects are hiding in North Waziristan, a Pakistani tribal region where militancy is rife and where the U.S. has focused many of its drone-fired missile strikes.
"They have been making calls to Germany and London," the official said. "They have been talking about and looking for facilitators and logistics they need there to carry out terror strikes."
Western security officials said Wednesday that a terror plot to wage Mumbai-style shooting sprees or other attacks in Britain, France and Germany was still active. Both European and U.S. officials said the plot was still in its early stages and not considered serious enough to raise the terror threat level. [...]
In Brussels on Thursday, Europol director Robert Wainwright said a drop in terror attacks in Europe -- coupled with intelligence that had thwarted major plots in the past -- masked an ongoing threat.
"There has been a significant decline in the number of terrorist attacks in Europe -- certainly committed by Islamist groups -- that hides the reality that these groups are still active," Wainwright told AP.
It's par for the course, but you may still want to read this last bit sitting down:
Asked about the suspected plot, Pakistan's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Abdul Basit, said the government was unaware of any such plans.
"Let me reiterate that Pakistan is committed not to allow its territory for terrorist actions anywhere in the world," he said.
No "terrorism." But how about jihad?

Yes—because the Yanks are always shelling the green fields of England. sarc/off
They are *not* Germans. They are *not* British. They are Muslims—Pakistanis, in this case—who have inveigled citizenship in the countries of the free West due to their foolish immigration policies.
The Associated Press—and any other reputable news agency—should realize the utter absurdity of referring to these Jihadists as "German" and "British".
"Jurisprudent Jihadists" is about right.

PUNISHMENT FOR NOT GOING TO JIHAD AND KILLING KUFFAR
IS HELL FIRE
I wonder if these plots involved the niqab or burqa :

Or will our governments be too PC to tell us?
The murderous jihadists must get a good laugh at the sucker-hearted West for its misguided "sensitivity" about offending Muslims. What especially delights them, I'm sure, are the kumbaya church leaders who help out with "outreach".
It's much easier for these dirtbags to procure weapons, ammo, and other tactital items here in the US than in Europe.
So, as I've said before; we're going to get hit like Mumbai. It's just a matter of time.

Geez.
muslims, besides being a retrograde force and local level strong arm cancers, have been sent to first world countries to be grown big and tall with proper nutrition... This coupled with immersion training in our societies produces an ever widening stream of young and strong islamic warriors who can trade on their birth citizenship traveling freely around non-muslim societies... Now, put 20 of these new breed of western islamists on one domestic airplane... no need for any hand weapons at all...
Considering the military infiltration by islamist groups, like this...
http://blazingcatfur.blogspot.com/2010/09/what-hell-is-going-on-at-dnd.html
I would say it's only a matter of critical mass of islamists before the Jihad begins in earnest... I would suspect that the immersion infiltrators will need to be able to coup the whole governmental infrastructure before the violence on the grass roots level can start in earnest...
At the rate things are going, the last 2 years of Imam Obama's regime will be enough to entrench islamist sharia proponents in every bureaucracy for the next 30-50 years...
Kagan is just the Pink Cherry on top of the betrayal...
They are "Ummah" an entity separate from sovereign nations.
Two "Danes" have killed themselves by suicide attacks in Somalia.
Euro-Islam is like the Eurocommunism of yesteryear. A decaying Western social democratic consensus persuades itself that it is pacific and committed to Western political norms. Yet just as Eurocommunists taught Saloth Sar (Pol Pot) his Marxism, there's probably an especially bloody-minded Euroislamicist waiting in the wings.
I just wish Christians and Jews would shut up and step down so secular atheists like myself can actually try and prevent radical Islam from taking over the world.
It's annoying - like having a dumb dog constantly by your side while trying to take on a bigger, meaner dog. Muslims are not going to be afraid of Christians and Jews because, frankly, Islam is a more organized, logical, and overall more solid religion.
The only logical counterpart to Islam is secular-agnosticism and unfortunately guys like myself here in the West are surrounded by lukewarm faithed Christians and Jews who don't even believe in their faith but hate Islam enough to try and invoke the Bible as a battle cry.
Islam is the only religion left which still has the power and ideology necessary to attract the younger masses of people, and if you don't want it to take over you Christians and Jews need to realize that it is us secular free thinkers who need to take the helm at this point and time.
Thought you could sneak that one in there, eh?
You secular atheognostic apathetic anti-Jewish dipshits ARE Commie bastards... Your moral flexibility makes you mush when push comes to shove...
You had better look up the Baha'i as well... Your admiration for islam is shared by the New World Order Faith...
Just so you know, islam is part of God's plan... Why do you think he sent Jesus in the first place?

Eat that with a side of bacon.
"...They are *not* Germans. They are *not* British. They are Muslims—Pakistanis, in this case—who have inveigled citizenship in the countries of the free West due to their foolish immigration policies..."
This misleading description is done with malicious purpose as the so-called "reputable" media outlets feel free to malign the West, but not Islam.
Here in Australia even conservative sites have spoken about "those Germans, they never learn will they" etc. I find it nauseating how many Western countries treat their citizenships like cheap whores, to be sold for a penny. Here in Australia for example, all you need is live here 2 years and they will give you the Australian Nationality.
Looking around me, I expect to see a big increase in "Australians" wageing violent Jihad on the West. The "reputable" media outlets will not call them by their names, like Mohammed, but by their "Nationalities". GAK
