'Bombers, racists, the law: they're all out to get Muslims'

[T_i_B]

Jimmy, a Muslim, pulled over his car a few hundred yards from the former home of suicide bomber Shehzad Tanweer on Colwyn Road in Beeston, Leeds. He took out a DVD which explored a conspiracy theory about 9/11. 'It is the same with this,' he said. 'The moment a mother rang up about her son from West Yorkshire, they knew they had their fall-men.'

Among Beeston's younger Muslims, it was an increasingly common view last week. On the street corners, inside the shops and in the local park, there were mutterings of conspiracy theories as rumours washed over the town. One was that Hasib Hussain - the 18-year-old bus bomber - had been seen alive, another that one bomber's family said he could not have been carrying identification as it was all at home.

Ever since it had become clear that three of the men responsible for the 7 July atrocities were from the same tiny area, Beeston became a hub of activity as police and media descended. Over the past two weeks the mood has shifted from shock to disbelief.

Fears of an anti-Muslim backlash have been realised in a 500-per-cent rise in faith-hate crimes in the past two weeks. More than 1,000 race and faith hate incidents have been reported to police across the country since the London bombings, though community leaders believe the actual number of incidents is at least four times higher.

1. The biggest losers in this

are the british muslims. The bombers are the worst kind of traitors - they kill innocent civilians and bring down hatred on their own families, friends and communities.

2. Bombers or Terrorists.

Let's call them what they truly are.

[Macadian]

19. I thought the biggest losers...

[Frederik]

12. You forgot

the IRA, ETA, PKK, Red Brigades, Baader-Meinhof Group, Tamil Tigers, Ulster loyalists, Catalan separatists, the Sendero Luminoso in Peru, Narco-terrorists in Columbia, Jewish terrorist groups in Palestine in the 1930s and 40s.

17. Tigers are muslim

I apologizied now you're just pissing me off.Let's put it this way of all the terror attacks in the news the last month how many have not been muslim? If a bomb goes off in a civilian area chances are it's muslim.The majority of terrorist bedlam is muslim!

[Frederik]

18. The Tamil Tigers are not Muslim

They are either Buddhist or Hindu, I forget which. The conflict on Sri Lanka is between Buddhists and Hindus.

[Kraklen]

22. Well sure, if you ignore...

the hundreds of Iraqi civilians that get blown up by americans every day.

[gizmo1979]

25. The U.S troops aren't terrorists

terrorists have no uniform you can't see them coming for miles.To compare our soldiers to terrorist's is just wrong.Our soldiers only have one personal agenda staying alive and if that means killing you to do it so be it.Our soldiers don't try to kill innocents children women.It happens but that is not their intended goal. Saying our troops are terrorist's sets democrats back to lackkey status.

23. How about them Ami bombs

being dropped willy-nilly in Iraq?

The majority of terrorist bedlam is...

[gizmo1979]

24. you are all on drugs

[Karenina]

WHATEVER! :shrug:

[ret5hd]

14. seems like you forgot a LOT...

[D-Notice]

6. You left out

[Tempest]

[CJCRANE]

[manic expression]

13. " 'Bush is the real terrorist,' muttered another. "

Pretty much.

15. The country is fucked up, just like here

I actually think the explosion of racist violence in the aftermath has been brewing for a while now in Britain. They've had several incidents of racial riots between white skinhead gangs and south Asians (often Muslim).

After yesterday's shooting I don't blame any minority of not trusting the law enforcement there.

[T_i_B]

16. The BNP are jumping on this badwagon

They were very quick to use pictures of the bus bombing in election leaflets in East London. Fortunatly most people saw through it and voted Labour in but they will almost certainly try to blame what has happened of late on "multiculturalism" (i.e. let's blame anyone who isn't white for the bombings. :grr: )

[Karenina]

20. The execution of the Brazilian lad...

:tinfoilhat: was completed to "test" the acceptance among the British population for Israeli tactics. Their MAJOR FUCK UP was was using skin colour as the only metric, so they bagged a Brazilian rather than a British-Pakistani. :tinfoilhat:

21. Certain belief in an afterlife is the enemy of mankind

Apologists flock from every compass point to justify their absolute conviction that there's a fantasy everlife. So many are so locked into their superstitious assumption of knowing that the big invisible daddy-man will make right all the ills that life has forced upon them that we are probably doomed.

Unwilling to address the silliness of their fantasies, they'll stop at nothing.

Selfishness will be the downfall of mankind, and the wise users take advantage of this to advance their personal plans.

Modern religions--the ones who've succeeded--focus on extreme selfishness. They do quite well. The rest of the world doesn't.
