Eight Terror Suspects Seized Near London

Britain has arrested eight terror suspects whom one news agency reports to be Pakistani. Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke said that the arrest had nothing to do with the Madrid bombong, nor with Irish terrorism, but when asked about the religous affiliation of the suspects said only, "As we have said on many occasions in the past, we in the police service know that the overwhelming majority of the Muslim community are law abiding and completely reject all forms of violence."

Gee, I wonder what kind of international terrorists they have arrested?

LONDON (

Clarke gave no details of the religious affiliation of the suspects, but he told reporters: "As we have said on many occasions in the past, we in the police service know that the overwhelming majority of the Muslim community are law abiding and completely reject all forms of violence. We have a responsibility to all communities to investigate suspected terrorist activity."

Quite frankly, I'm surprised this took so long.

I'm also sure that London and Britain in general is teeming with these guys. Why the British government hasn't done more already is beyond me.

All you have to do is watch the press and the public vitriol coming from their 'leaders'. They're like rats in a sewer.

I am eagerly awaiting their names and biographies:
how many are immigrants and how many are native
converts ( white/post Christian... ) to Islam.

It shows the world once again,that muslims don`t have any kind of allegiance to the country that has given them shelter,freedom and citizenship.
They are only comitted to islam and everything else doesn`t matter.
They are ready to betray,to lie,to steal and to kill their hosts and subjugate the country that was generous enough to accept them.
Big mistake in granting citizenship to these people;the citizenship should at least be conditional and revocable,immediat deportation should be implemented in such cases.
All the terrorists that were arrested should be immedialtely transfered to Guantanamo Bay ,interogated and deported to the country of origin or to a muslim country ,with no possibility of ever returning to any western country.

Adela:

I agree. You don't allow strangers to move into your house unless they're friendly and helpful.

Michael,that`s exactly the right parallel:
one invites a friend into its house,it gives him shelter,food,education,money,etc and all of a sudden the socalled friend turns against its host and from guest of the house ,wants to become master of the house,to impose its draconic rules upon his host.
The host has all the rights to defend its house,its family and to evacuate the guest,or even eliminate it if necessary.
We have the right to protect ourselves and our government has the duty to protect us from the muslim invaders.
Extreme measures need to be taken against these invaders and eventhough today such measures may be considered radical,time will come in the near future,when such measures will be the only means left to us,if we want to survive.

Interesting that Islam's only media profile is the link with violence and hostility. Never do you happen upon occasions where the disclosure is that "A new Muslim hospital has been opened to bless the local community, or a new Muslim factory has opened creating thousands of jobs for the neighbourhood." Or even "Muslim's go onto the streets to bless those who don't attend Mosque".

I guess that only happens in Christianity.

There is nothing peaceable about Islam. The IRA, ETA and others are trying to bomb their way to the negotiating table but Islam has only one agenda.

And everyone can see that but them.

This is 8 individuals in the South of England. Expect some more arrests as the day unfolds is my guess.

Massive DEPORTATION and entry restrictions are in order!

Report from the Times Newspaper, 31 March:

Britain's leading Muslim organisation is to write to mosques across the country urging them to help police fight terrorism. The Muslim Council of Britain wants imams and community leaders to be alert for possible illegal activities. Iqbal Sacranie, Secretary General of the council, said: "There is a letter going to mosques across the country bringing to their attention the concern that has been expressed of an immediate attack taking place in the UK."

So Mr Iqbal Sacranie is at last beginning to do a bit more than just express condemnation for Islamists.
