"We have foiled mass murder on an unimaginable scale"

[DanaC]

Shame, shame on you.

I'm waiting, Dana, et. al., to fly my airline.

You're full of it. even with evidence you refuse to believe. Good luck to you. When radical Muslims say they hate the West they mean YOU, too. YOU. you all live in a world where muslims hate only the US.

They are coming for you, too.

Savor that for a bit.

I'm sure, Nay, I am CERTAIN, that radical muslim means you, danaC, and all those 'enlightened' females (who so laughably think muslim cares about them--) are at risk! Sign on up! We welcome your sacrifice! Where do we strap on the bomb? the cloak of holes?

a) I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that radical muslim groups hold as much hatred for my country as they do for yours; as evidenced by the London bombings. I have been under no illusion that we can stand 'shoulder to shoulder' and yet somehow be seen as entirely different and therefore deserving of different treatment:P

b) At what point did you get the impression that I thought radical Moslem men had any sympathy whatsoever for my feminist leanings? I would imagine your average radical Moslem, or even not-so-radical Moslem (along with quite a few other faiths) would consider my feminism disturbing, possibly revolting and certainly not something deserving of respect. Does this therefore mean I should develop an abiding hatred of Moslems?

c) Britain is clearly a target for terrorist acts. Any country engaged in the current 'Crusade' has made themselves a target by their involvement. To be entirely honest, terrorism isn't really a new phenomenon in the UK and the level of security hysteria seems entirely at odds with the level of the threat.

This does not mean that I don't see the threat.

Of course there is the possibility of this threat having been a genuine one. The fact that my (and many others) first response was ....yeah, believe it when you give me proof......is indicative of how many false alarms and fishing expeditions our security services have indulged in. Often these occur close enough to a vote on new security measures as to raise an eyebrow or two.
