"Three of the alleged ringleaders of the foiled airplane bomb plot have been identified by Western intelligence agencies involved in unraveling the plot. Two of them are believed to have recently traveled to Pakistan and were later in receipt of money wired to them from Pakistan, reportedly to purchase tickets for the suicide bombers. Sources identify the three, who are now in custody, as: --Rashid Rauf --Mohammed al-Ghandra --Ahmed al Khan." report on August 10, 2006 from an ABC News Exclusive: Three Alleged Ringleaders ID'd ABC News, by Brian Ross.

Today they say the guy's name is Tayib Rauf,DoB:26/04/1984, Birmingham, England.

Mr Rasid Rauf owns a restaurant in Birmingham

Internet Search on Mr Rashid Rauf: (Mr Raside Rauf, Style: Restaurant. Opening Hours: 6pm-late (7days a week) Speciality: Desi Style Food ... www.balti-birmingham.co.uk/restaurant.asp?resid=64)

Is ABC onto something here Mr. Rasid Rauf # 25, or is this just bad journalism?

I'm vomiting now.

The headline attempts, after 911, after subway bombings, after shoe bombings, after death and destruction, to attach the words "Muslim" and "peace" together? What kind of idiots do they think we are?

[Disambiguator]

Ditto the headline alert.

He loves fish and chips and Liverpool football club and his favourite TV programme is Only Fools and Horses. He even wanted to join the police as a forensics expert.

Yeah, and some of the 9/11 hijackers went to strip clubs.

“He loves fish and chips and Liverpool football club and his favourite TV programme is Only Fools and Horses."

That's all right then eh?

These guys ain't terrorists they are cheeky chippy chappies!

[EagleUSA]

Shattered the peace of Muslim neighborhoods?? Good Muslim neighborhoods harboring terrorists that want to kill Westerners and had built bombs, and set the plans to do so.

What would the exploding of a dozen or so airliners, and the people on them been?? A rather stark shattering of the peace I would say. The world had better wake up real fast to the oxymoron of GOOD MUSLIMS.

[Eurotwit]

Loves Liverpool. Oh, the shame.

Well, bin Laden is an Arsenal fan. No kidding.

Cheers.

"Peace" and "Muslim neighborhoods" is a bit of an onxymoron, no?

[My2Cents]

oxymoron, that is.

"About six months ago he said he was converting to Islam. He grew a beard and shaved his head," a neighbour said.

This should be looked at the same way some people "join a cult".

Mr Ulhaq said: “All I know is they are peaceful, religious people. They were teaching Koran and all that to the young kids. I’m shocked, I’m sure they’ve got the wrong people.”

It's the Jooos!

[Doomonyou]

The religion of Lies.

13 raids shattered the peace of Muslim neighbourhoods

"Peace" meaning the silence is usually only disturbed by the occassional bang of a suicide vest going off unexpectedly, and shouts of "Death to the West!"

[Enterprise]

My solution to terrorists - Peace through superior firing squads.

If this were a description of a non-Muslim who wanted to fight in the WOT, he would be labelled a "cowboy".

[savedbygrace]

Yeah, it wasn't the raids that shattered the peace; it was the Islamist terrorists that shattered the peace.

Of course, digging deeper, we find that 'peace' to Muslims means they have converted the entire world to Islam, otehr than those they murdered who wouldn't convert. That's what peace means to them.

"He is a great believer in the importance of integration between our community and the Western world."

Yeah, makes it easier to get close to infidels to kill them, as it turns out.

[Amanda75]

Don't y0u just love it, a peaceful neighborhood, the Times will never get it, no matter where it is or what name it uses, until they walk in the front door and say, put down those typewriters, this one is just so sad and too foolish to even read.

[MizSterious]

I guess "shattering the peace" of their neighborhoods is way worse than the peace-shattering of all those lives was going to be. What a barfy headline.

[eeevil conservative]

I think it is the terror plotting by terrorists that acutally SHATTERS the "Peace" in your neighborhood- AND YOUR RELIGION!

good grief.....the headline is a political statement all of its own....
