“It was in July/7/2005 that the British people made it clear that they were not willing to fight islamic terrorism. The terrorist attacks in London on that day were an act of war by the global islamic terror movement against Britain, but the British people and government refused to consider it as such because it will entail fighting and providing more sacrifice to win this historic struggle. The British people and government had a shockingly cold reaction to those terrible attacks. They have treated the act of war on 7/7/2005 as just a security incident in the “Tube”.”
You must the forgive the polemical nature of my response to your thread and its contents, but, the very nature of the comments are quite simply beyond the pale. I have read, heard, seen alot of virulently anti-UK feeling on these pages, yet nothing with quite the same vehemence. It is a truely shocking thing to claim that the UK people have treated the ‘7/7 bombings’ (look, I’ve even used the media terminology for it: hardly indicative of it being brushed off as an ‘incident’) with indifference.
Also given that you are calling the bombings an act of war, quite who should we now be at war with? The bombers were from Leeds, so should we flatten the city? The bombers were all from the UK, so should we go to war with ourselves?
“Britain capitulated to islamic terrorists, pure and simple.”
Have you been somewhere else in the Solar System these past five years? Or maybe even the dark side of the moon? Because I do believe that it was the SPANISH government that capitulated to the ‘islamic terrorists’ when the terrible Madrid bombings forced a new government and the nations troops out of Iraq. I guess you might be a little soft on European geography, but come on, mistaking the UK for Spain is weak man! One is sunny, with beautiful beaches, women and climate, and the other is next to Portugal.
