21/7 bombers failed to kill dozens as 'mastermind' could not do maths

Allah claims all the incompetents as his own.

[brityank]

Why do we always tell the bad guys what they did wrong when the bomb doesn’t go off?

Because the MSM is on their side?

[Southack]

"Unfortunately both Britain and the US have sent their best and brightest into the meat-grinders, leaving the dregs to procreate."

There's that darn math thing again. Losing 100 good people per month in Iraq, from a country of 300 Million, will NOT alter the procreation statistics.

In a sane world, wishing to survive — all immigration of Muslims would be banned until the Jihad is “over”.....

Perhaps then, the rumored “moderate Muslims” would rid their communities of lunatics who “don’t speak for them”...

Right....

[fatrat]

ok thanks, i misunderstood, got the wrong group. but that makes the latest group even dumber. they should have learned from the previous group that they needed somebody skilled in basic math to prepare their bombs. It is a good thing they are stupid.

Losing 100 good people per month in Iraq, from a country of 300 Million, will NOT alter the procreation statistics.

Taking the (very) short view, eh? Look to the stats for WWI and WWII. Then look at where we've gone in the past 50-75 years, and the usurpation of the Media and Education in both countries.

[A CA Guy]

Wow, they sure look like middle eastern Muslim types to me.

No way, I hear they are all innocent, Allah their false god said so.

I’ve seen an interesting article, I think here, on the issue of consanguinity in the Arab/Islamic world, due to tribal marriage schemas. Lots of first cousin marriages, beyond what would be considered genetically “safe”.

[Right Wing Assault]

Because the MSM is on their side?

Yeah, but even the police seem to like to tell us how stupid they were and why. And I think the military does it, too.

[Southack]

The news media has a smaller audience today than it had in WW2. Smaller Network radio and TV audiences, for instance...vastly lower newspaper circulation numbers...

...and today there is actual *competition* to the established news media in the form of the Internet and talk radio.

In contrast, what got churned up by WW2 were the warrior cultures of Russia, France, and Germany...none of which have the indigenous fighters today that they had a century ago. ...but losing 100 good citizens per month from a country of 300 Million won't do to us that which happened to France after it suffered 64% national casualties between 1914 and 1918.

[Bullish]

The result of generations of inbreeding.

You got that exactly right.

[Christopher Lincoln]

There used to be a slogan: "Math is power".

It is.

[bajabaja]

Apart from being bad at this “maths” (a plural form of the word that I think is an inaccurate usage), Mr. Omar apparently did not test his handiwork beforehand. Doesn’t Terrorism 101 stress preparation and testing before blowing oneself up — so as to be sure to be in the arms of those 72 white raisins?

[wideminded]

I was trying to guess which one of the six men pictured was the mastermind by scanning the faces to pick out which one looked the most intelligent. In the process I had written off Muktar Said Ibrahim as the dumbest looking one.

[GadareneDemoniac]

Dummies! Everybody knows there are only 12 months in a year! “21/7” - the seventh day of the 21st month? Whoa, these guys are real “morans”!

[I realize that Euros write dates differently, so my post is tongue-in-cheek. It does look funny, though.]

[aruanan]

However, none of the rucksack devices exploded as ringleader Muktar Said Ibrahim had a poor grasp of mathematics and wrongly calculated the ratio of ingredients needed to trigger the explosions.



The six men on trial: (from the left, top row) Manfo Asiedu, Muktar Said Ibrahim, Ramzi Mohammed

Why am I not surprised old Muktar had difficulty in math?

[aruanan]

Perhaps then, the rumored “moderate Muslims” would rid their communities of lunatics who “don’t speak for them”...

Moderate Muslims have been the target of radicals since before WWII.

[null and void]

I didn't realize there is anything particularly special about flour for chapatis (or rotis.)

He was naan the wiser either...

[wildandcrazyrussian]

Turning to God [sic], he wrote: "I beg Allah to accept this action from me... he promises martyrdom to whom he wishes. "What I have done (is) for the sake of Allah for he loves those who fight in his sake."

It is disgusting when reporters make the basic mistake of equating the Muslim deity "Allah" with God. In actual fact, a stronger case can be made (using Islamic sources at that), that "Allah" is a manifestation of Satan. Just look up any reference to Satan/Lucifer appearing as a bearer of light, being a deceiver, promising all the goods and power of this world, and on and on. The main thing separating Islam from being a real religion (instead of the totalitarian political strategy that it is) is the concept of "love".

Foreign education can be very hard to judge. Besides equating years of schooling or whatever standards, you have the whole spectrum of good student / bad student within each group.

Resumes become worthless. Bottom line, you just don’t know what you’re getting. I know some really sharp immigrants with graduate degrees, and some total dunces who have the same credentials on paper.
