More on those eight terror suspects arrested near London, who, according to British officials, just happened to be Muslim and could very well have been Buddhist or Amish. From The Scotsman, with thanks to Nicolei:
Police today seized more than half a tonne of ammonium nitrate fertiliser which could have been used to carry out a terror bombing on UK soil.Eight suspected Islamic terrorists, all British citizens of Pakistani descent, were arrested as 700 officers carried out 24 raids across London and the Home Counties.
Anti-terrorist detectives believe an al Qaida-supporting cell could have been plotting a “spectacular” attack.
The fertiliser – a key bomb-making ingredient – would have been enough to cause a blast on the same scale as the 1996 IRA bombs at South Quay, station, Canary Wharf in London, and the Arndale Centre in Manchester.
Ammonium nitrate fertiliser, which requires a “booster” explosive to set it off, is believed to have been used by al Qaida in an attack on the US embassy in Nairobi in 1998 and in the first World Trade Centre bombing in New York in 1993.
It was the major ingredient in the biggest of the bombs used by Islamic terrorists in Bali which killed 202 people in 2002 and was also used in bombings against British targets in Istanbul last year and in the 1995 Oklahoma bombing. ...
The neighbour added: “They were very religious. They never mixed with other people. They never spoke to us.”
Unless the Muslim community worldwide confronts the reasons why terrorism grows worldwide among Muslims who are "very religious," terrorism will continue to grow and thrive in that community.

I intellectually understand why think they are doing the right thing by bombing us, but coupling religion and bombing together in the same concept is just too surreal. It is more than hate, more than evil, but what exists that is more than evil?
Posted by: epg at March 31, 2004 9:17 AMepg, my only thought on what's worse than evil is self-righteousness, those under its spell are literally capable of anything. Prisons are full this type, they are beholden to no standards other than their own desires. What did Jesus say, "really by their fruits you will recognize them". It must be terrifying for the average citizen, looking on as these radicals are interdicted, only to have the political elements harden their denial of what the consequences of multiculti they've imposed on society.
Count on it, when canadians start getting vaporized by these religious fanatics, the money will pour into "concilliation" and "understanding those who want to kill us" social programs, perhaps there's under-representation of muslims in the agricultural industry, they just don't know what to do with all that amonium nitrate.
Sounds more like dhimmitude. In less than one generation of arriving here, already these people are plotting to kill us, what was trudeau thinking????

Posted by: Monty Rock IV at March 31, 2004 11:18 AM“They were very religious." Well, I guess when murder and terrorism are the roots of your religion, yeah, sure. Makes sense they'd be trying to build bombs. They worship death and destruction. Makes sense, doesn't it?
