For some reason, his picture reminds me of an old Star Trek episode. I’m not sure why.

You gotta figure the threat is real.

I'd say it is a real threat - I'd also say that we know exactly where this guy is and yet we still don't have the gravitas to take him down.

Well, maybe...but they’ve known where Rushdie has been for a helluva lot longer! Don’t even with the UBL BS...I only like dead terrorists:)

Looks like that tracking device we placed in his forehead needs a new battery.

weird, i had the same sense of someone from the 60’s series.

the aliens from the menagerie/the cage come to mind, but i think there was another ep. with someone more similar, maybe with a beard and something on their head.

While it may just be more of the same phony bravado that these criminals routinely spew, it probably tracks closely with their tactical thinking. In that respect, it’s generally a bonus to have your enemies telegraph their moves, isn’t it...

They are insulted by everything. So, what’s new.

Does this help?

Gee, lots of threats AFTER a major attack fails. Although I don't believe in letting our guard down, I don't find this a creditable threat.

Well I don’t think they have us quaking in our boots yet. Here is a poem passed to me by a friend, following the recent “incident” at Glasgow airport. I think it sums up the Glaswegian perspective to it all. Any help required with translation don’t hesitate to ask ;-)

A Real Scottish Hero. - anon

‘Twas doon by the inch o’ Abbots
Oor Johnny walked one day
When he saw a sicht that troubled him
Far more that he could say
A fanatic muslim b*stard
Wiz doin what he’d planned
And intae Glesca’s departure hall
A Cherokee he’d rammed.
A big Glaswegian polis
Came forward tae assist
He thocht “a wumman driver”
Or at least someone half-pissed
But to his shock nae drunken Jock
Emerged to grasp his hand
But a flamin Arab loony
Frae Al Qaeda’s band
The mad Islamist nut-case
Had set hissel’ on fire
And swung oot at the polis
GBH his clear desire
Now that’s no richt wur Johnny cried
And sallied tae the fray
A left hook and a heid butt
Required tae save the day.
Now listen up Bin Laden
Yir sort’s nae wanted here
For imported English radicals
Us Scoatsman huv nae fear
Oor hame grown Glesca Asians
Will have nae bluidy truck
So tak yer worldwide jihad
An get yersel tae France

A) Who wrote this
and
B) It’s HILARIOUS!

I guess my 1/4 Scottish ancestry and my English lit major helped because I understood everything! ROFLMBO!
