One of the bombers in last week's attacks made a direct phone call to a suspected recruiter for an extremist group in New York.

Authorities told ABC News that records show Mohammed Sidique Khan, the eldest of the bombers now believed to be the field commander of the attacks, had called a person who is associated with the Islamic Center, a mosque in Queens, N.Y. Yet, a member of that mosque claimed they had no knowledge of the phone call.

why is this not surprising?

[Sacajaweau]

The connection may have been found....but the two people on the phone are unknown unless the line is tapped.

The sooner our gov't realizes that mosques are terrorist fronts and not "religion of peace" houses of worship, the better.

It's not surprising at all. The US should close down every mosque in this country. If they don't like it, go live in Pakistan.

Gets an "amen" from me.

George Bush and the GOP-majority congress import Islam to this country at the brisk clip of about 100,000 alien muslims per year. Islam is the fastest growing religion in this country because our leaders are bringing in so many muslims from overseas.

To see where are immigration leftists like Ted Kennedy and George Bush taking us, look to London, Amsterdam, Malmo, etc.

These craven hack politicians are taking the USA to Eurabia.

A deal should be made with the mafias in NY. Keep out the islamonazis and we'll look the other way on your book making operation.

"A deal should be made with the mafias in NY. Keep out the islamonazis and we'll look the other way on your book making operation."

There is precedence for that.

I believe that these terrorists are using our very thinking against us.

They hit London, and now everyone is focused on the "next" attack. The west wants everything here and now, we are sure that there are more attacks likely, here and now.

They carried out a successful operation, likely one that cauterized their network and leaves only enough information to keep the authorities busy chasing down myriad dead end leads that were left for that exact purpose.

Meanwhile, these coordinators have moved on, and are working on their next project in another area.

[dagnabbit]

Umm, maybe our bloody government should keep the Islamonazis out. Maybe George Bush and the GOP congress should stop importing 100,000 alien muslims yearly, as legal, green-carded immigrants.

I lived in Japan for a while back in the 80's. A long time resident and a retired US soldier from WWII who decided to stay there told me one reason for the very low crime rate in Japan is because the organized crime (Yakuza)wont allow it. That keeps the governemnts hands clean too. Where's "a" John Gotti when you need him most?

Folks, closing down every mosque in this country would not solve our problem. Plus, you have to remember that Islamo-Fascism is an EXTREMIST sect of Islam. To close down all mosques in this country is to deny those Muslims who do not seek to engage in their brethren's unholy villainy a place to worship. I propose we set up security at these places to ensure that no underhanded misdealings take place. I still agree with racial profiling, but completely removing Islamic worship centers will not solve our problem, they will simply find other venues from which to communicate (the Terrorists I mean).

Imagine for a moment that a crazed sect of Christianity decided to go arbitrarily murdering people who did not believe in the faith. These extremist Christians begin to utilize Christian churches for their communication centers. What sounds better to you: 1. Completely removing ALL Christian churches from society, or 2. Sending security into these places to ensure terrorist activities are not taking place? You cannot deny the right for people to gather and worship all over the U.S. based on the actions of an extremist minority...I am positive the great majority of "good" Christians would not allow their churches to be closed over a few "bad apples".

Oh yes, and Muslims have been VERY vocal in condemning the London bombings, at least around the area in which I live...Bloomington, Indiana. These "peaceful" Islam worshipers do not identify with these extremists just as most Christians would not identify with Christian extremists who would undertake the same road as the terrorists.

We must be careful how we choose to deal with this situation, lest we become as irrational as the terrorists. Blindly closing anything and everything Muslim is not the answer. Continuing to stay this irrational course of logic will only serve to justify our opposition's arguments that we conservatives are too extreme in our thought. I understand the feelings of rage and distrust we all harbor for Islamo-Fascists, but we can not allow that to blur our vision of doing what is right for all parties involved. And from personal experience, I know the great majority of you on Freerepublic are very intelligent and can appreciate the point I am making here without hurling insults and claims of ignorance my way. We conservatives can not completely close our minds to everyone and everything lest we reap what we have sown.

"bombers"..... interesting word. I thought they were terrorists?

"A deal should be made with the mafias in NY. Keep out the islamonazis and we'll look the other way on your book making operation." There is precedence for that.

Actually, there is. Especially in large urban Italian American population centers, there is very little to no street crime. This takes a lot of job responsibility off the hands of local cops, and they reciprocate "in kind" to the local bosses.

[Judge Roy]

The sooner our gov't realizes that mosques are terrorist fronts and not "religion of peace" houses of worship, the better


WE don't allow places that do money laundering of drug money, So why do we allow places that launder terrorist, seize these places and sell them just like the drug people do.

[mlc9852]

These "moderate" Muslims haven't been able to prevent anything. Are you sure they really want to?

[EnigmaticAnomaly]

These "moderate" Muslims fear for their lives on taking action against the Islamo-Fascists...they are not in a position where they could be effective in countering the Islamo-Fascist surge...they realize that staying out of the way and as anonymous as possible is their greatest chance of survival in this "Muslim-suspicious" society...Some Muslims have tried to educate non-Muslims as to the TRUE religion of Islam, but have met with threats from our public...you do the math why they are fearful to stand out in our society...

"London Bombers Terrorists Have Ties to United States"

more appropriate headline...

[Brilliant]

If it had not been for the Bush crack down on the muslim extremists, the bombing would have happened here.
