Remember Enoch Powell.

But it's not really radical Islam Lindy. Normal Islam says the Koran is the word. There's nothing radical about killing infidels. The Koran is explicit. Moslems who actually think the Koran is the word, should be much more normal than they are.

In fact, they pay lip service to Allah, ignore the Koran and treat the whole business like a social club, paying the Mullahs the cash demanded and getting on with their lives. Which is very fortunate.

If they really believed it, there would be a lot of problems.

Same as Christians aren't really Christians. The Bible is not really a text for modern times. Sure, there are no doubt some worthy proverbs, but putting out of eyes and stonings for this that and the other are outdated.

Get the radicals out of the country!

One point I would like to make is after the attack on Glasgow, the Brits raised their national security status to their equivalent of our red.

Such has always been the case. A jump to red alert status always "follows" the attack.

If you are waiting for a red alert to make basic survival preparations you will be too late.

I just watched one of the old-time CBS reporters, now retired, [forget his name] on Fox going over the "reasons" for these attacks. It may be due to Rushdi. Maybe Iraq. Maybe .....

Wasn't Cronkite was it? [a friend of mine once saw him at his place on Martha's Vineyard wearing shorty pajamas]

What a fool.

That guy needs to spend some time reading Bernard Lewis. Perhaps also he could study up on the Wahabbism.

That might be the standard PR for CNN right now...there is a special program (C Ananapour- sp?) tonight and tomorrow night on why so many of the young Muslims are so radical and what can the moderate Muslims do about it...

Obviously, the guy from CBS who was talking is anti-war, and probably anti-US as well. Ananapour says they found out the the younger terrorists are more violent after the Iraq war.

Did CNN FORGET that there were many terrorist attacks since at least 1979???? The terrorist attacks that we in the US did nothing about..except maybe kill a couple of camels and disrupt a couple of tents....

Lets hope that Scotland Yard and the Services in the UK can trace everyone who was remotely involved with the latest attacks!!! Maybe we can find out if they were citizens of the UK and Scotland. Maybe we can find out who was funding the operation, and where the plans were made...etc!

Maybe some of the countries in the world will have enough guts to send these terrorists to an island in the Artic or Antarctix, and drop food and tents in. No help, and hope that there are sharks all around.

I thought, "What a jerk. These are all symptoms. The cause if radical Islam. Get the radicals out of the country!">/i>
