"Was London Bomb Plot Heralded On Web?" by Tucker Reals for CBS News:
Hours before London explosives technicians dismantled a large car bomb in the heart of the British capital's tourist-rich theater district, a message appeared on one of the most widely used jihadist Internet forums, saying: "Today I say: Rejoice, by Allah, London shall be bombed."
CBS News found the posting, which went on for nearly 300 words, on the "al Hesbah" chat room. It was left by a person who goes by the name abu Osama al-Hazeen, who appears regularly on the forum. The comment was posted on the forum, according to time stamp, at 08:09 a.m. British time on June 28 -- about 17 hours before the bomb was found early on June 29.
Al Hesbah is frequently used by international Sunni militant groups, including al Qaeda and the Taliban, to post propaganda videos and messages in their fight against the West.
There was no way for CBS News to independently confirm any connection between the posting made Thursday night and the car bomb found Friday.
Al-Hazeen's message begins: "In the name of God, the most compassionate, the most merciful. Is Britain Longing for al Qaeda's bombings?"
No.
Al-Hazeen decries the recent knighthood of controversial author Salman Rushdie as a blow felt by all British Muslims. "This 'honoring' came at a crucial time, a time when the whole nation is reeling from the crusaders attacks on all Muslim lands," he said, in an apparent reference to the British role in Iraq.
"We say to Britain: The Emir of al Qaeda, Sheikh Osama, has once threatened you, and he carried out his threats. Today I say: Rejoice, by Allah, London shall be bombed," the message reads.
Speaking at a news conference Friday after the bomb scare in central London, the Metropolitan Police force's Counter-Terrorism Commander Peter Clarke said that officials had "no indication that we were going to be attacked this way".
Prior to the Thursday night posting by al-Hazeen, there had been no specific allusions to threats against London or Britain seen on al Hesbah, or any other major jihadist forums in recent weeks.
Several responses to the posting by other forum members expressed hope that an attack against London would be realized in the near future.
In response, al-Hazeen urges patience, saying, "Victory is very close, but you are just rushing it."

More empty bravado from the Islamists. Both failed to detonate...one ran away.

And will Muslims across the UK march in protest against this "misreading of Islam the religion of peace." No. They will post their nice letters saying these folks are not the real Islam then get along with their nice day feel secure that their Islamic poop does not stink to high heaven!
If some Methodists in the UK were bombing their fellow citizens I am confident there would be marches, prayer vigils, and a whole lots of soul searching regarding why their co-religionists were interpreting the Christian Bible in such a manner(if that were even possible).

With all the bombings carried out by Muslim supremacists it's not too surprising that another one coincided with some internet boast.
It's like me proclaiming online: "Rejoice in God there will Thunder and Lightning in the land before Summer's end, and some damage will be done."

Should London set up a 'Green Zone' like in Baghdad? It may become necessary if these threats of bombing the civilian population, regardless of whether men, women, or children, innocents targeted by these jihadi fanatics. Where next? What suspicious vehicles or persons should be checked at ckeckpoints? While it is un-PC to condemn a religious zealotry that wishes death to the free, then what else is there? Internal security passes? Taking off our shoes at city check points? Where does it stop? Why not remove the problem in the first place? But that is un-PC. So our freedoms suffer, while we are bombarded with their jihadic hatreds of those very freedoms that made us great. Words fail me. What hatreds lurk in their evil hearts? We are fighting pure evil. When will the PC MSM press understand this? Their hateful gloatings sicken me.

We can't stop every attack. Soon, one of these bombs will detonate creating great carnage and so will another elsewhere.
The question is-- what are we going to do the next time this happens?
It seems obvious we will have to counter-attack these islamists head on and we will have to start with a suspicion of complicity of all muslims infesting our country--and deal accordingly.
When all these terrorists are coming from the same religious group of people---and since we never see a muslim rejection of the jihadis' acts-->we have to start dealing with our enemies like we are in a time of war. These bastards are out to kill and maim as many of us as we will tolerate.
We must ask the liberals an asinine question--what more would some thugs possibly need to do in order to prove that they are our enemies?
If any muslim wants to disown its terrorist brothers--and take a stand, it can prove that it means it. Back it up by demonstrating against, and even fighting the fanatics (you and I know they never have and never will make such a stand)
How many attacks are we going to accept before we get down to business?

"We must ask the liberals an asinine question--what more would some thugs possibly need to do in order to prove that they are our enemies? "
BB,
You've heard the joke that a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged?
Too many of them still refuse to admit that their wallet's gone, even after 9/11, even after 7/7, even after Madrid, Bali and all the rest.
I suspect that members of their own families could be killed before their eyes by jihadists and many liberals would still blame Bush, Blair or a combination of the two. (That's already happened in America. Some people cling to the belief that 9/11 was "an inside job".)
Putting the blame where it belongs means they would have to admit they were wrong about multiculturalism and a whole lot more. To many liberals, that's a fate worse than death.

I suspect that our excellent security forces will identify the scumbags involved and our shit politicians will give them every opportunity to escape.
We already got a green zone in London from the old days fighting the Paddys I believe its called "The Ring of Steel" and its quite tight as long as you employ the right people to work it. hmm back to those politicians again.
Im not too concerned about Jihad guided non explosive German cars, I think the jehaddis will have to try alot harder to impress most brits. This only serves to continue wakeing up the sleeping masses.

One of the apologists is sure to show up later and claim that:
1. this message was planted on the board by MI5 or the CIA, meaning it was yet another "inside job"
2. It called for the bombing on 6/28 and it happened on 6/29, so ETA (Progressive?) or the IRA is responsible for it. The London attack is not the same one mentioned in the message board. But then, someone (Alexon) has already inferred as much right here on JW.
3. If the cars that were found belong to Muslims (no reason to believe they didn't, if they expected them to be destroyed leaving no trace), it will be claimed the cars were stolen the day before (MI5 again or maybe the CIA?) and just never reported to police.
4. Any DNA evidence was "planted". Hey, it worked for OJ.
Someone on C-SPAN has already suggested that the quickness with which the phone on the first car was disconnected suggests it was a plant and that the police knew it was there before they arrived on the scene. The jihadists seem oblivious to the notion that one of their methods for detonating car bombs in Iraq, a cell phone, is hardly a state secret. They teach us more and more about them every chance they get and they're surprised that we learn to detect them.
Responsibility? There's no such word in Islam.

Don't worry! The largest manhunt ever is underway!
Of course, we don't know who they are looking for because they aren't allowed to show a photo or give a name.
Is it the person sitting next to you?
Who knows!
Are they looking under burkas and niqabs? Who knows?
How about flights to Pakistan?
Why would they check them? That would be politically incorrect!
And all the paranoia on the blogs is simply amazing.
Gordon Brown did it, the CIA did it, it's an inside job by 'agents' to make muslims look bad which was directed by Brown. Crazy, crazy, crazy.
The police are lying because it was a green car, no a silver car! It was a bomb, No it was gasoline which coun't really be a bomb! How did they detonate it so fast, they must have planted it! More crazy, crazy, crazy!!!!
I can hardly believe it. Anyone saying it's muslims is told it's deserved. Or they are bigots, racists (my favorite), islamophobes, xenophobes, etc.
I guess it doesn't matter how many attacks the west has done to it. There will always be plenty of people to defend the attacks. And they seem to like adding the line 'And I am a white, Christian' to the end of the post just to prove they are right! They want to assure us they aren't muslims just defending muslims. ACK!!!!

While MPUK proffers abandonment of Iraq as the solution to UK violence, al-Qaeda in Iraq has held an armed rally in Iraq's second city. As soon as the "surge" funding dries up, they will return to Baghdad.
http://www.azzaman.com/english/index.asp?fname=news\2007-06-29\kurd.htm
Kurdish sources verify the report. Anyone who thinks show-the-flag patrols in IED territory and occasional ineffective assaults on terror compounds are going to win the war, is brain dead. In the name of Bush "freedom" an occupying force is allowing jihadi murder glorification videotapes to be sold within sniper range of US troops. Someday someone will add up the monumental folly that will - and statements from Republican Congress members cause concern - lead to American troops crawling out of the Middle East, like the beaten dog with its tail between its legs.

Yesterday morning (USA time) as the news was breaking, a police officer/spokesman came on to give a very general news briefing. His title indicated that he was deputy something-or-other and he had a Muslim name. Do any British JW'ers know who this guy is? I can only guess why he was put in front front of the cameras as a spokesman. Is he truly serving the people of London, or have his statements in the past indicated that he has other motivations?

Islam is just another rationalization front, a cover (including the Islamic costumes) for an Imperialist domination of "indigenous cultures", "indigenous peoples". At its core, Islam is the engine of Arab Imperialism. Bow to Mecca me arse.

Posted by: Josephine
A parallel argument (unrelated to jihad) is "no human being is an alien".
Well my random house dictionary has multiple definitions for each word.
1. vermin - objectionable or obnoxious persons
2. alien - a person living in a country of which he is not a citizen.
Neither word is being used incorrectly.
to infest is "to haunt or overrun in a troublesome manner, as predatory bands (refers to humans?), destructive animals or vermin do.
Another definition is: to be numerous in, as anything troublesome.
I would suggest that as uncomfortable as those words might make you feel and as politically incorrect as they might seem, they are still being used properly.

Borg,
I just listened to C-SPAN's opening segment on their morning show, asking callers for their reactions to the London bombings.
Most (not all) Democrats made excuses, among them:
1. the government is fear-mongering
2. the military made up the bin Laden tape that showed him boasting about the 9/11 attacks
3. it's an attack on civil liberties. This was just two cars with some gasoline and a bunch of nails, planted so that we would want to continue our assault on the Middle East. (my favorite)
4. Government is hoping to get more people to connect this bombing with Middle East terrorism and keep Gordon Brown from pulling British troops out of the Middle East, as he plans to.
5. If it were a terrorist attack the bomb would have gone off. Terrorists don't wait. They strike. (Someone who hasn't seen the car bombs in Iraq.)
6. Corporate press lies
Regarding #5, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. As I understand it, London was lucky. There were two calls to each of the cell phones in an attempt to detonate the bombs. Neither of them went off. We might not be so fortunate in the future.

at June 30, 2007 11:06 AM
PMK - I see your point; I understand what you are saying.
I still don't like the term; I'll never agree to its usage in this way. Perhaps it's because Jews were called vermin by the Nazis.
I am against Islam. I wouldn't mind if Islam were eradicated but I do not wish for the eradication of Muslim people. To me, there is a huge difference, and I object to what I perceive as Muslims being demonized or dehumanized.
Again, I'm not disagreeing with someone's right to express himself; it is up to the moderators to draw that line. I am just expressing my own opinions. I accept that many here will disagree with me.

@sheik yer'mami: You got that right. The truther moonbats seem to be expanding their base thanks to people like Ron Paul. The virulent torrential downpour of haters at my site in the past few days attests to that.
"Muslims are human beings, not vermin."
True enough, but if the shoe was on the other foot, and we were all at the mercy of Islam because we were minorities in our own countries, the Muslims would call us "pigs" and we would be begging for mercy each day for not having "reverted" to Islam.
Do not be so naive to believe that most Muslims love you. The Qur'an teaches each Muslim to look down his/her nose at any non-Muslim. They believe Islam to be the "one true religion" and they have a mandate from "God" to see Islam dominate the world.
Excuse me if I'm not ready to hold hands with Muslims and sing Kum-Ba-Ya. I want us to win this war. Making nice-nice with the enemy isn't part of the plan.
Now, if Muslims want to stay here in peace, then Saudi Arabia should allow all world religions to have the same protected freedoms as they do here in the United States, for a start. Yes, there we go -- that's my rationale for the day. There's your out, Muslims. Make that happen and I'll start to play nice.
Until then, get the hell out.

The world is populated by mostly good people. There were exceptions, but through the centuries, basic human nature has remained Human. That is the sole reason infidel territories have been falling and islamic states are coming up. In 1400 years, there were few people who understood how islam can be eradicated, who understood what was necessary if their culture, their people, their infidel ways of life were to continue. The choice we infidels have is binary. It was binary since muhammad made it so. We tried to have a solution other than this, and that is why we have failed, are failing, and will continue to fail. We are basically Human.

Josephine --
I guess it depends whether you see this as a war or not. If you don't, a lot of the discourse here will seem frightful and insane. I think people use this dehumanizing language because they need to buck themselves up for a long battle. If it's a war, it is either us or them, and I prefer us. If we survive with our freedoms intact, and their effort to cut us down fail, then we can wring our hands over 'what we've become.' We seem to have gotten over the awful demonization of the German and Japanese people during WWII. And if we fail, it's all a moot question.
George Orwell supposedly said 'Decent people sleep soundly in their beds because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.' I fully sympathize with your sensitivity, in fact I share a lot of it. But perhaps such gentle folk as ourselves would do better to just try and stay out of the way.

Police say it is too early to say whether the incident - which comes after failed car bomb attacks in London - was related to terrorism.
Holy Toledo! The guys tried to drive a gasoline packed, flaming car into the terminal, got out of the car threw gasoline around, fought with police...maybe, just maybe it was terrorism.

Mohammed Sarwar, MP for Glasgow has been getting his spoke in - apparently he has received many concerned phone calls from concerned members of the Asian - particularly muslim - community.
I can just imagine it.
"Hello Mr Sarwar, how did we get on? Failed to detonate you say? Dang."
The PR machine is in full swing, and I guess i'm about to head off to jail for 7 years for noticing...

Josephine,
You're a good person. I suggest that you compare your own words to those of Muslims in London who were so offended by the knighthood given to Salman Rushdie and the "emotional pain" it caused to Muslims that they thought it validated killing people just to let us know how hurt they are.
They will not treat you with the respect you are treating us and with which you would have us treat them. You would not have the same freedom in a Muslim country.
The fact that a word was used by the Nazis doesn't discredit it. That's the same argument we hear from Muslims. The very word "crusade" offends them, even though that is what their religion is all about. The word is used in many different contexts but they would have us strike it from our dictionaries lest we make them uncomfortable.
I object to your suggestion that people who write something that makes you uncomfortable deserve to be censored. Freedom of speech (and press) is all about sanctioning the airing of views you don't agree with.
You and I (and most posters) can agree to disagree. What jihadist would accord any of us the same courtesy, even as he demands it from us?

This a direct result of the the Iraq war. Bush has made the world more dangerous with his miscalculations and now we have to deal with the Iraq war veterans going back home with their expertise acquired fighting the crusaders in Iraq.
This is not an admission that the so- called London plot was the works of radical islamic elements, there is still the ETA connection that has not been solved yet. And let's not forget about Bushmills.

progressive: "This a direct result of the the Iraq war. Bush has made the world more dangerous with his miscalculations and now we have to deal with the Iraq war veterans going back home with their expertise acquired fighting the crusaders in Iraq."
Wrong again. Yours should read instead:
"This a direct result of the the '911 al Qaeda' war. 'Islam' has made the world more dangerous with 'their' miscalculations and now we have to deal with the Iraq war 'jihadis' going back home (to Porkystan et al) with their expertise acquired fighting the 'free people' in Iraq."
So you see, your takkiya is useless here, so transparently false. Give it another go, 'progresive', and see if you can eventually get it right. If you still misunderstand, I'll take your post above as clear admission the two bombing attempts in London, and one in Glasgow, as clear admission it was the work of Islamists. They're bungling fools, hatefilled idiots.

I had other "progressives" slamming me on their site and my own last night, creatures coming up from the depths of their cesspools and slinging sh** as fast as they could. The keyword of choice for these "progressives" is to label any of us that attempt to warn the world of this real threat from Islam as cowards, warmongers and alarmists.
The truth of it all is so obviously opposite. The "progressives" in the West are so close to outright treason that when the truth finally does manifest in the form of more 9-11's and it's no longer possible to deny reality, these raving, loathsome scum will be very lucky to not be lined up and sent to prison. I will in fact, not be at all surprised to find direct ties between the most Radical Left in the United States and future Islamist groups and attacks. Anarchy seems to be the future of choice for "progressive". So quit hiding your real ideas. Tell us your Marxist garbage and get it out of your system. Come clean. At least then I might have some respect for honest enemies, but these cowards that skulk in the shadows and sling stones when it suits them are beneath the mud on the bottom of my shoes.

The world was made more dangerous when they allowed floods of Muslims into a democracy. Before Iraq there was protests and hate for our way of life and freedoms and it was a matter of time that the mixture would result in an explosive act in western society and where the globalise world meet the two ideology systems can not obviously mix. Muslims cannot mix in democracy as democracy cannot mix with Islam then its either going to break apart or separate at some point so we create Babylon a confusion, which is so called Iraq.
Its their fault yes for allowing the non converted to democracy in, which caused terrorist cells to hit the nations that do their political arguments abroad. If America gets in trouble with Mexico for example politically you know the Mexican immigrants may retaliate, maybe not so much with religious backing and suicides but with social unrest to the American people.

No one reading Jihad Watch should be surprised that no Western government or broad social group (political party) has yet come out in plain language against the Islamic drive for hegemony. They still have not got away completely from the "Asian suspects" euphemism in terrorism cases, for starters. It is not only a matter of utter cluelessness on their part about the subversive nature of more than a few activist Muslims in the West. It is also the fact that to date we have suffered only widely scattered attacks-- shrewdly scattered just widely enough-- and these have served mainly to galvanize the likes of posters here, not the general population. Since our politicians ostensibly represent the general population and in fact do respond to their input when it is loud and sharp, it stands to reason that they continue to appear dhimmified because that public input has been so far very meek and daily events do not constitute an Islamist threat in their eyes.
At the social level, among the younger demographic in the West, the liberal/Leftist mindset currently prevails and its philosophy is antithetical to identifying and summoning the will to defeat any "foreign" enemy. PMK sums it up well, above, at 6:38. This the Islamists will use and are using to divide and conquer, among other tactics.
To recognize and act with firm conviction against the Islamic threat this leaves only two groups of any significant size: followers of other religions and a very heterogeneous mix of
independent-minded folks who are not bound by politcal correctness or other New Age nonsense.
Among the politicians and military strategists we must assume, for sanity's sake, that there are a few who at least entertain the possibility that our worst fears are well-founded. It is most likely that in the near term (10-15 years or sooner) there will be ample evidence that lets eveyone know that the violent quest for the caliphate and its associated saturnalia is a very real phenomenon. Then those who are more aware (and will have been aware for some time) can join ranks at all levels and the recalcitrant, bone-headed Left will be squeezed in the middle or shoved aside.

Crusader-
I may be wrong, but what you seem to be saying is that we are being targeted because we're sinners who need to bring ourselves back to the path?
Secondly, I do know that the decline of the Judeo-Christian morality in England (and europe in general) has everything to do with the raise of terrorrism, and the raise of Muslim inhabitants.
I don't know if you are a Christian or not, but if you are, if you read he Tanakh ("Old Testament") you'll see what happened when God's Chosen Nation, the sons of Israel, abandoned the Law of God: God let them have their way, and disaster soon followed.
God hasn't changed.
In conclusion, I know that what is happening (and will only get worse) in Europe is directly related to the loss of our Judeo-Christian morality.
So basically, that is what I wanted to say in the above post.

progressive you need to get Robert's books on islam and get a proper education. the world was made a dangerous place 1,400 years ago when muhammud created islam out of a dank dark cave where this illerate spoke with some demon called allah.
The Christians and Jews share much, and still place the "Ten Commandmnents" as their centerpiece for civilized people. your muhummad made a deal with the devil so this pediphile scam artist who stole and killed for plunder put himself up as a leader of islam. now those muslims are driven mad when they become pious and practice their death cult.

I submit to you that they all are vermin; and muslims are merely practicioners of the same evils couched in different terms.
Are muslims human? Yes.
Are muslims vermin? Literally, no.
Are muslims devils? I believe they them to be so, as do many people who have had the misfortune of being under their power once.

In that case, the self-appointed protectors of these criminals are no better than the criminals themselves and are every bit as evil and dangerous to a civilized and law abiding citizenry.

corax,
Please go through this site.
In all the 1400 years of jihad, islam offered us Infidels 2 choices, submit (convert) or die. In 1400 years, throughout the ME, Asia, Europe and Africa, Infidels resisted. Yet today islam controls nearly all of the middle east, parts of Asia and Europe. In all of 1400 years, Infidels fought and won the invading islamic armies on not one, but numerous occasions. Yet today we are in a mess. Major parts of Asia, Africa and Europe are threatened and the first islamic country coming up is Kosovo. There are several in line.
As for expanding on my description, the solution is binary. Two choices. Only two.
P.S. That is all that I can write without being deleted. I wrote a post that mentioned the Sikhs and my Serbian Hero (mentioning him is a surefire way of getting deleted) last week and it was removed.

Oh, by the way, I find it ironic that you are concerned if muslims are perceived as vermin. Perhaps you don't realize that the perceive you as sub-human according to the quaran and hadith unless of course you are muslim yourself.
In their view, murdering you or your children is indeed a moral question, since they are commanded in Sura 9 to kill non-muslims.
Before you accuse me of "hate speech," remember one thing -- I did not write the quaran and the commandment came from allah through mohammad according to the text.
If you thing the command as spelled out in the quaran is "hateful" by any other moral standard of decency -- I will agree with you on that specific point; if you call it nothing more than "tough love" you and I are enemies according to islam.

Josephine,
In all of the years of jihad-conquest, there were people like you, decent, gentle, good people who wanted to treat the enemy (you-know-who) decently. It never worked and it never will work. Goob said -

I don't think that a man who has been sawing off the heads of goats/sheep/cows/camels since he was 4 years old to please his allah and whose sole holy book commands him to treat those who do not as "pigs", "apes" and "monkeys" is human. He might have been born a Homo Sapien, but he is not a human being, he is a zombie who threatens me and mine. I said -

"...we need you gentle people to remain silent..."
arjun.sevak --
I was objecting to lumping all Muslims into a category that might easily be defined as vermin. I was not discussing appropriate punishments for criminal acts.
I wasn't stating how I want the enemy to be treated: as far as I'm concerned, it's a matter for the laws of democratic countries. Even Saddam Hussein was tried in a court of law. Just because some countries have descended into various degrees of lawlessness (or follow Sharia law), doesn't automatically mean that the rest of the world has.
If you can state your opinion under the banner of free speech, then I can do the same. Telling me to "remain silent", as you did, or calling me names, as others have done, is the same as telling me to shut up. I find that interesting, coming from proponents of free speech.

I completely back up Josephine on this one. It wasn't only the nazis who used that kind of speech. Before the Hutus slaughtered the Tutsis in Rwanda, they were referring to them as "cockroaches" on the radio. How can anyone possibly justify that kind of language?
Personally, I thought the purpose of this site was to be an unflinching lens onto the truth about Islam. I would sincerely hope that the point about doing that would be to encourage all well meaning people who actually abhor violence but also have no illusions about Islam - to put their heads together and come up with very practical, mostly non-violent solutions to this problem. Even those solutions seem so radical to the prevailing PC mindset (such as stopping Muslim immigration to the west, or deporting radical imams, or putting jihadis before military tribunals and then executing them, or trying to prosecute Muslims under RICO statutes, or removing Islam from 1st amendment protections etc etc). All of these ideas are pretty darned radical given the prevailing PC climate. But I assume that the average poster here is willing to consider those sorts of options precisely BECAUSE they understand the real danger and implications of islamization of the west and yet ALSO know that the average idiot who is in denial about all this now, is precisely the kind of unthinking person who tomorrow might radically shift and start calling Muslims vermin and cockroaches and start indicriminately killing people.
In other words, while we might seem like the "extremists" now, in reality I think we are moderates who actually see the reality, and also understand human nature as a whole and are actually trying to head things off by trying to come up with all kinds of fundamentally non-violent solutions to this horrible dilemma so as to precisely forestall the all too predictable carnage that is likely to eventually follow if most everyone else persists in their denial. I don't trust people who are in denial. They aren't rational people. Their irrational denial today could easily flip into irrational violence tomorrow. I trust people who aren't in denial and are willing to see and confront something that is enormously complex and problematic. Where calling Muslims "vermin" fits in there, I don't get. It isn't at all helpful and it makes me as uncomfortable as it makes Josephine.

Josephine - let me also make clear that I understand where arjun is coming from. I have read several accounts from Hindus in India who have been subjected to so much violence by Muslims that they have come to learn from experience that it is only by overwhelming violence in retaliation for Muslim atrocities against Hindus - that they can hold off further Muslim atrocities against Hindus. I think that is certainly where arjun is coming from in his comments. I can understand that. They are far ahead of us on that score and yet despite that fact, I don't recall ever seeing arjun refer to Muslims as "vermin" or "cockroaches". So I don't discount the reality of what arjun is conveying about how one, when pushed into the corner, may be forced to deal with Muslims in reality for one's survival - yet I still don't see that frank and realistic admission as on the same level as westerners, who have never actually remotely confronted anything like what Hindus have confronted, but who nonetheless call Muslims "vermin" and "cockroaches".
I'm not going to say that I don't understand the kind of rhetoric that comes out here in sheer anger and frustration - rhetoric that I've been guilty of myself - but at the same time, I'm never going to condemn and in fact would definitely welcome the kinds of statements that you made to simply remind us all not to lose sight of ourselves and our humanity. I appreciate that you stuck quietly but adamantly to your guns in that respect. How could anyone here possibly object to such a quiet and principled reminder simply to do our best not to lose our humanity while we try to fight this thing?

Thanks for your explanation. I have looked at the historyofjihad site and will study it further. I'm reading on this topic also; just finishing "Future Jihad" by Walid Phares. The inexorable nature of the fatah process comes thru clearly in that book.
For now I will assume the "binary" choice translates roughly to "kill or be killed."
