Last week's foiled terror plot was received by the media interestingly. They revealed the British-born men as "Muslims". Yes, their skin is darker and they have ancestors who were born in the Middle East. But they are British citizens. It leads me (Canadian born - ancestry in Canada dates to 1604) to wonder if I committed a terrorist act here in Canada, would the media exclaim, "Frenchman foiled in terorist plot"? I doubt it. Why the double standard? I think the media loves to say the word "muslim". "Muslim" is the new "Communist" you know -- which leads me to believe that a bad government survives on the scapegoat of some entity.

RE: Curious

They certainly AREN'T ethnically British, so you can't truthfully call them British.

Edit:

My mother, who is English, would laugh if you called them British.
My grandmother would even moreso.
My grandfather who fought for Great Britain in the war would turn over in his grave.

If your attempted terrorism was related to the plight of French Canadians they would. And Muslim terrorists are Mulsims, acting in the name of their religion, just as communists were acting to promote communism - not random people killing for no apparent cause.

If there were hindus blowing up car bombs or attempting to bring explosives on a plane, causing riots in France, calling for the extinction of a race I think that not noticing that all these acts were perpetrated by one religious group would not be honest. If a perpetrator's religious belief has something to do with the crime it is fair to mention it.
Recent acts have been commited by muslims who do not feel like they are part of their adopted society, therefore calling these men britons is not accurate. The vast majority of muslims do not plan or carry out violent actions, but there have been many lately and to not notice this is just willful blindness.

If a terrorist act is commited by someone other than muslim, it won't be in the front news, only muslim attack are in front news, why? dig a little and you will understand, just look what happened to the anthrax attack, right after 9-11, it is amazingly discusting and outrageous.

Aeon, do you remember the Air India Bombing? http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/airindia/ Funny, muslims were not responsible for this, yet it is still in the new to this day.

I think that's because the vast majority of the world's suicide bombers - probably as high as 90% of them - are Muslims. They aren't Hindus, Christians, Sikhs or Jews. They are nearly always Muslims.

But it's not true that only Muslim terror attacks make front page news. Whenever the IRA bombed and killed innocent civilians on the British mainland it always made the front page news.

I also think it's good that only Muslims and people acting suspiciously at airports will be checked thoroughly by security before being allowed on a plane. That's because if we checked ALL of the people going on a plane, it'll take hours for everyone to get onboard and disruptions that Gatwick, Heathrow and other British airports experienced this week would be commonplace. There would be hundreds of people waiting to be checked. Heathrow is the world's busiest airport - 60 million passengers use it every year. So to reduce the risk of Islamic terrorists bombing packed planes out of the sky, British airports should check Muslims more throroughly than any other people. It's not prejudiced. It's just common sense.

If you want to prevent a terrorist attack on a plane, who would you rather be checked? A young, white student going on a trip to South America during his gap year, a little old lady flying to Australia to see her grandchildren or a young Muslim man flying to Pakistan? And when Muslims finally decide to want to stop attacking the West, then they can use our airports more easily.

Well at least you can't argue, that for most of those cases, at least Saddam kept the peace in Iraq more so than the U.S. has done. However, good news is, I think Pepsi is now available in Iraq!

Here you go ladies and gentlemen, in the eyes of leftists oppression is equal to keeping the peace. And I think they also have Coke.

I think Saddam was scum, but did he not keep the factions from killing eachother? No agenda here my paranoid friend...just stating facts.

Mmmmkay.

Your at least comment suggested living under Saddams rule of oppression is better than today.

Remove the "at least" wording and you get the same result. Do you always have to play with semantics, Yank?

Oh yes, instead united the "factions" AKA Muslim septs, against the Kurds. Which Saddam loved to opress......

Sure, Sunnis and shites were all kisses and hugs, but dont forget how the Kurds were treated.

Though, i must admit the scale of Violance is much larger than in the past, things were never to good in iraq.

If a terrorist act is commited by someone other than muslim, it won't be in the front news, only muslim attack are in front news, why? dig a little and you will understand, just look what happened to the anthrax attack, right after 9-11, it is amazingly discusting and outrageous.

Aeon, do you remember the Air India Bombing? http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/airindia/ Funny, muslims were not responsible for this, yet it is still in the new to this day.


Why people on the other side keeps calling me and others "aeon"that disagree with you? everyone in your city look the same? has the same opinion? everyone has short hair, and says the same? i 've read on aeon's thread, yes i agree with most of what he says, you think he is the only one in the world who think so? travel a bit, talk to peoples and you will understand what i mean.
