What the left wing loonies are saying about todays indictment of the 7:

52. Its a phoney raid on a non terrorist group
they want to start scaring people for the mid terms. About august or september you can count on them breaking out their little color coded terror chart. "Alegedly a picture of the sears tower was found" is meaningless drivel designed to scare the gullible and fool the masses.

2. I never thought I would say this about my government....
But I don't believe any of this for a minute.

we are in deep trouble, and it is NOT from the terrorists, but from our government

37. One word: Rove.

7. there must be something ugly coming in the friday news dump they want to
divert attention away from.

44. EXACTLY
this 'terror plot' is gonna turn out to be something horribly overblown, likely an 'internet posting' or something similar. basically, a 'thought crime'.

33. Fear! Terra! Fear! Terra! karl, we need a diversion. Fear! Terra!

35. KKKarl's Back!
No question.... they found no bombs, no bombmaking materials.... FBI admits they were just discussing...

Survey Details 'Deep' Divide Between Muslims, Westerners
The Washington Post ^ | 06/23/2006 | By Delphine Schrank

A "deep attitudinal divide" exists between Western and Muslim publics, with Muslims in the Middle East, Asia and Africa more critical of Westerners than vice versa, according to a survey released today. But attitudes are not monolithic, the study found, and a "middle ground" is particularly apparent among European Muslims.

Muslims and non-Muslims interviewed in 13 countries converge on few issues, but they agree that relations between Muslims and Westerners are bad, according to the survey by the Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan and nonprofit organization.

"The most salient findings include the extent to which Muslims have an aggrieved view of the West, and Westerners are skeptical and wary of Muslim values," said Andrew Kohut, the center's president.

People polled in six predominantly Muslim countries -- Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan and Nigeria -- blame Westerners for the strain in ties and mostly see Americans and Europeans as selfish, arrogant, immoral and greedy, with opinions of the West and its people worsening over the last year, the survey found. In turn, majorities among non-Muslims polled in most Western countries see Muslims as fanatical and lacking in tolerance.
