Terror on the dole
London should be called Londonistan....

..."As far as I'm concerned, when they bomb London, the bigger the better," says Abdul Haq, the social worker. "I know it's going to happen because Sheikh bin Laden said so. Like Bali, like Turkey, like Madrid - I pray for it, I look forward to the day."

"Pass the brown sauce, brother," says Abu Malaahim, the IT specialist, devouring his chicken and chips...

2. "you were either with Islam and al Qaeda, or with the enemy"...
That's kinda telling, huh? It's this kind of bianarized thinking that leads to this perpetual cycle of violence.

3. Just because they're Muslims,
doesn't stop them being morons.

Actually, in their rigid rhetoric and unthinking stupidity, they remind me of... Freepers, and their British equivalent.

"Muhammad Sulaiman, president of the Islamic Cultural Society, the largest of the 14 mosques in Luton, dismisses al-Muhajiroun as "verbal diarrhoea".

or, indeed, chickenhawks:

"If we want to engage in terrorism, we would have to leave the country," he says. "It is against Islam to do otherwise." Such a course of action, he says, he is not prepared to undertake.

I would have put money on the Standard as the one of Murdoch's rags to whip out some scary Muslim bullshit the day after the bombings. There is calm here, with a marked lack of the kill-the-Muslims fervour which I feared might appear. It is not being officially recognised who carried out these attacks and no jumping to premature conclusions.

4. The Standard is part of the Daily Mail group
not Murdoch owned - not that that makes a difference for 'kill-the-Muslims fervour' (if anything, it might even make it more likely).
