Hi Lola. ......" "Tuesday’s updated figures show at least seven UK Muslims have died while fighting the West and hundreds are going abroad,"......... The British should be pleased the enemy are showing who they are. They should be provided with free air fare to Afghanistan......one way ticket.

Abdullah says Luton’s Pakistani and Bangladeshi Muslim dominant population of 20,000 is angry and feels the pain of "our brothers in Afghanistan". He says the threat of being tried for treason will not frighten young Muslims like him. "British is a man-made term, I only recognise the name my creator gave me, that is Muslim", he says. While the West is caving beyond belief in even considering halting military action during Ramadan, we get this garbage. What is this? Great Britain should send MI5 agents to every mosque-ito in the country. Anyone caught making similar statements is immediately expelled from the U.K. and barred from entering all NATO countries for life. Then send out a questionnaire to all Muslims. Anyone who agrees with bin Laden is also expelled/barred. This should be done in every NATO country right now. If they make a second treasonous statement then fuel up a C-130, load them all in there, fly over Kabul and send them to Allah via HA-LO drop. We'll even give them the sporting chance WTC never had: they'll have stocks of yarn provided upon takeoff from Alstonbury AFB. If they manage to knit a decent parachute, great; if not, Allahu Akhbar...

Just came back from 3 weeks in Wales and Ireland, and saw numerous TV interviews of UK Muslims openly stating that they would most definitely "martyr" themselves for the cause. A fundamentalist Muslim cleric, refugee cook in a London restaurant, was issuing fatwas encouraging violence against the "infidels" while prepping bangers and mash. I thought of issuing a few fatwas of my own after seeing that shocking coverage. They have a very dangerous situation brewing over there, so hats off to Blair in a big way for the stand he has taken. If only my own leader could exhibit a leadership quality or 2. I feel more loyalty to Bush and Blair than Chretien. Political correctness will be the death of us all. We need to close our borders, especially here in Canada, and sort out which immigrants and visa holders are with us and which are not. It would also be nice if the Canadian government could at least start looking for the 30,000 missing refugee applicants and immigration applicants that they can't find at the moment. Currently we send them a form letter telling them they have 30 days to leave as they have been refused entry as a refugee or immigrant. No one checks to see if they have left or escorts them out. Our national news tonight reported that our "government" recently cut our deportation squad from 14 Mounties to 9. The Mountie interviewed by the media had his face blacked out. We are just trying to figure out if he was trying to avoid retribution from his superiors (don't be whistleblower up here, it's deadly) or hiding his identity from missing aliens. We need more US government pressure on our bleeding heart Liberals for any rapid or lasting changes to be made. Canadians are for the most part too polite to complain, and most are too medicated by years of socialism to even try anymore. The silent Muslim "majority" needs to make itself heard before it is labelled the same as the "minority". Is it only the fundamentalist Muslims that have voices or access to Iranian TV All it would take to bring me back to the middle ground is some continued and impassioned volume from moderate Muslims. After all it is them that stand to lose the most. Their religion is in danger of becoming demonized. Sure we understand that the Koran does not justify any of the terrorist acts, but we don't understand why that point is not being underscored loudly by true Muslims. We don't understand why they don't seem to be doing much about it. We don't understand why they aren't sending tons of aid to Afghanistan and other suffering Muslim countries. What have they done with all that oil money if not spend it on infrastructure, education, R&D and developing lasting economies? Is the west to blame really, or are we talking about some cultural dysfunctionalities at work over there?
