LONDON (AP) -- Terrorists tried to attack London eight times between the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States and last July 7, when suicide bombers killed dozens on the city's transport system, London's mayor said Monday.

Ken Livingstone said there had been two attempted attacks since July 7, including a failed attack on the transport network on July 21.

Livingstone did not provide details of the attempted attacks, but said those who threaten London comprise small groups of disaffected people who are fairly disorganized.

Get over it. Just what do you think Muslims do? Benefit civilization? Show me anywhere on earth in the last 100 years where the presence of a Muslim has proven beneficial other than in establishing repression, goon squads, beheadings and general acts of terror.

George Bush should start screaming now about how he was solely responsible for the NSA intercepts.

Just like the 4 bombs that went off simultaneously in the tube. I wonder who really is disaffected and disorganized.

No way! Islam should be celebraaaaaaated, not discouraged!

Got a problem with your wife? No problem, just beat her unconscious!

Got a problem with your neighbor? No problem, just carbomb his private home!

Got a problem with civil authority? No problem, just do a drive-by shooting at police recruitment sites!

Got a problem with democracy? No problem, just eradicate entire buildings and murder thousands of people!

Afterall, you have the support of Allah himself:

Qur'an (9:5) "Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them, capture and besiege them and prepare for them every kind of ambush."

"Any Muslim who hears an insult to the prophet must kill the person who commits the insult. It is better that those closest to that person try to kill him first."
