Remember the Islamists attacked the WTC TWICE.

I will bet dollars to donuts, the organizers are going to redo this attack in an effort to make the underground collapse as intended.

When 911 happened, I was so POed at the foreign "journalist", some middle-eastern, in NY trying to give their spin on everything and telling America not to jump to conclusions when we all knew it was middle-eastern terrorist. That is exactly how Londoners are probably feeling at this point. These middle-eastern "journalist" almost rejoice at these types of attacks.

8:48AM was the first plane strike on the WTC, same time at the first London bomb.

That was my first thought also, when I first heard (about the times)...

Is it possible to feel sadness, resolve, sympathy, despair and pure bald anger all at the same time? It's...not unlike how I felt on 9-11.

[CollegeRepublicanNU]

Londoners are very strong people. I am sure their military will not take this lightly though.

Hopefully this sends a message to the G8 summit. Unlike the Live 8 BS thats been going on. This shows that we need to continue to eradicate these terrorist groups...

What was wrong with "you're" it means you are.

Did I miss something?

(Quickly checks all of her contractions...looks at all pronouns, as an extra precaution! Givz up on speling!)

[riri]

I know, I go to another board and all the liberals are telling me to stop jumping to conclusions. Bah, I detest them.

[AFPhys]

I also support much tighter border security and immigration controls, but that alone will not halt the Islamists.

[conservativebabe]

Liberal suck.

I'm thinking of buying that bumper sticker.

As I said, the US could learn a lesson or two from then when it comes to these kinds of things. They don't scare easily.

One of the blogs I read said that the pubs were doing booming business today. Everyone is staying calm, going to work if they can get there, and having a pint or two at lunch or in the afternoon. They sound like they've stayed very cool during all this, and my hat is off to them.

and I, want Blair to come on the tv and explain the reasons why A BRITISH SUBMARINE JUST LAUNCHED A 1 MEGATON ICBM THAT DESTROYED TEHRAN.

Nukes and Ultimatums - worked in '45 and works in '05.

[tobyhill]

I'll quit jumping to conclusions when the libs quit pandering to the MSM and terrorist alike.

[steveegg]

Thanks, though it applies to people like bernie_g more than it does me (I'm nowhere near London).

DHS press conference on now; Orange for trains and buses.

[wardaddy]

It's been time.

I loathe those bastards....strutting around with their draped women slinking along 20 feet behind like chattel.


We have no need for Muslims here now....period.

At least stop letting them in unless they have helped us.

We are so soft....

Oh how Id loved to have the nerve to wear a F@ck Mecca or Islam is Evil t-shirt today.

Muslim Council of Britain press release on today’s attacks: >>British Muslims utterly condemn acts of terror The Muslim Council of Britain utterly condemns today's indiscriminate acts of terror in London. These evil deeds makes victims of us all. It is our humanity that must bring us shoulder to shoulder to condemn, to oppose and to overcome those who would spread fear, hatred and death.<< Contrast that press release with the one issued on 9-11: >>MCB expresses total condemnation of terrorist attacks British Muslims, along with everyone else, are watching events in America with shock and horror. Whoever is responsible for these dreadful, wanton attacks, we condemn them utterly. These are senseless and evil acts that appal all people of conscience. The MCB stands shoulder to shoulder with remarks made by our Prime Minister Tony Blair. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the innocent victims, their families and communities. We convey our deepest sympathies to President Bush and the people of America. No cause can justify this carnage. We hope those responsible will swiftly be brought to justice for their unconscionable deeds.

As the British Muslims come to the full realisation of these most awful events, which they condemn wholeheartedly, they too are beginning to feel a huge sense of fear. Terror makes victims of us all, it is beyond reason. Terror on this scale must not be compounded by knee-jerk reactions that would make victims of other innocent peoples of the world. This would only add to the devastation caused.<<


And with this press release on 9-13:

>>MCB expresses total condemnation of terrorist attacks in US

The Holy Qur'an equates the murder of one innocent person with the murder of the whole of humanity. We, the Muslims of Britain, wish to offer our deepest sympathies to the families of those who have been killed or injured following the atrocities committed in the United States.

We utterly condemn these indiscriminate terrorist attacks against innocent lives. The perpetrators of these atrocities, regardless of their religious, ideological or political beliefs, stand outside the pale of civilised values.

Terror effects us all. Terror of this enormity must not be compounded by knee-jerk reactions that would make victims of other innocent people. We would remind the government and the media that the consequences of unsubstantiated speculation in the past, such as the case of the Oklahoma bombing, produced a climate of fear among Muslims that should not be repeated.

There exists a heightened sense of insecurity amongst Muslims in Britain though we warmly welcome our Prime Minister's comments yesterday when he emphasised that Muslims in this country clearly condemn this atrocity. The Prime Minister warned against speculation that can endanger the lives of the entire community.

Our thoughts and heartfelt concerns are with all those affected at this mournful moment.

For further information please contact the MCB:<

Please note, for attacks in the UK they have no qualifiers or attempt to shift sympathy from the victims to those poor ‘ol innocent muslims. Very telling. . .they “condemn” attacks on 9-11 but then claim victim status. . .shameless. Regarding the London attacks, no such attempt to mitigate the guilt of the attackers. Apparently, the country attacked makes all the difference.

Kudos to NBC for having continuous news coverage on this tragedy, a boon for those of us without cable TV.

I'm thinking of buying that bumper sticker.

I'm thinking of getting it tattooed on my forehead. (:
