Times Online and agencies
A man who was prevented from looking at terrorist websites by the owners of an internet café in Casablanca blew himself up with explosives hidden on his body, a spokesman for the Moroccan Interior Ministry said today.

The man died and four others were injured in the blast last night, including the dead man’s companion, who was taken to hospital with burns and an injury to his throat.

Casablanca officials were treating the explosion as an accident, said Mokhtar Bekkali Kacemi, the general affairs director for Casablanca Province, quoted by the MAP state news agency. The men were “probably preparing to commit "a criminal act" later, Mr Kacemi said.

The dead man was identified as Abdelftah Raidi, who was convicted of having links to terrorism and sentenced to five years in prison before being pardoned in 2005, according to Abderrahman Achour, a government spokesman. His companion has been identified as Yusuf Khoudri.

The other three people injured in the explosion were the cybercafé owner’s son and two others, the official MAP news agency reported.

According to the agency, two men entered the cafe at 10 pm yesterday seeking access to terrorist sites. When the owner’s son forbade them from doing so, one of the men was blown up by explosives he was wearing, MAP reported, citing the Surete Nationale police.

The injured companion fled the café but was later arrested. He was taken to Mohamed V Hospital in Casablanca, the ministry spokesman said, adding that police questioning was limited due to the throat injury.

A series of near simultaneous suicide bombings that killed 45 people, including a dozen bombers, took place in Casablanca in 2003. Most of the bombers came from the Sidi Moumen slum.

Since then, this Muslim North African country has made hundreds of arrests and has been scouring the country for Islamic extremists.

Would moderate muslims fight on the side of the infidels in an attempt to maintain a free culture?

If their past behavior is of any significance I would venture not

Ya know when they had those minor problems in Northern Ireland, no one tried to sort the idiots. No one said well there are nice Catholics and there are nasty Catholics and we need to make sure we don't offend the nice Catholics, while we are trying to stop the nasty Catholics from bombing the shit out of the Protestants. In a similar vein no one said there are Nice Protestants and there are nasty Protestants and we don't ever want to degrade demean or antagonise the nice Protestants while the nasty Protestants are killing Catholics.

There were two sides of idiots killing each other and anyone else who it seemed useful to kill in order to get their own way.

What on earth gives you the urgent desire to sort Muslims? Let them know that the behaviour of some Muslims is an irritation, and will need to be rectified. and if they don't want to get their asses fried they will need to stay the heck out of the way. I think you will find that Muslims, like Catholics and Protestants will self sort.

So there are two sides, Ours, and the Muslims. The Muslims told us on 9/11 that they didn't have the time, or inclination to sort us. We should stop wasting time, and money and blood trying to sort them.

lorne re #6775- Robert G's post #6767 had "Muslims should not be allowed to live in Western society" at the end. That, and only that, is what I meant to comment on, because I believe that removing Muslims completely is unrealistic and unwarranted. That is what I should have said.

Your question "Would moderate muslims fight on the side of the infidels" is a good one, I certainly don't know the answer. The key is not to allow the "upper hand" in the first place.
