How F-ing STUPID are people these days?????

I know it's a stretch, but maybe it's not bookmarking the sites that take a lot of resources, it's following up on the thousands of bravado "we will blow you up" posts and discerning which are a real threat and which are just harmless doorknobs with too much time and not enough brains.

Your link shows nothing, it is not a link to any video confession. I'm not sure why you posted it - can you find the url to the aforementioned text, or for that matter any of the videos used so often to prove complicity in terrorist activity?

Just a thought: Does anyone else find it rather odd that when these 'jihadist' websites are mentioned in the media there is never a link provided to said sites?

I find that very strange. One would think that they would include the url so that people can go there and see for themselves. Or is it that if they do post the website someone will run a whois and the results might be not what is expected, and not what is relayed to us by our press?
Or maybe just maybe they don't wish to publish the urls to a wider audience than they originally had - in exactly the same way that the British media did not publish the urls of the beheadings a couple of years ago.

With respect to these bombings, I find the timing rather convenient and the results rather odd as well. Given that the IRA was infiltrated by British intelligence, and some of those British agents took part in the terrorist activities of the IRA, is it really such a stretch to think the same thing could be occuring here?
That was after nearly 60 years of antogonism - For the English speaking security services apparently arabic of the correct pronunciation is slightly harder to learn than english with an Irish lilt.
I just think it is important to ask questions when events don't make sense, who benefits from this sort of activity?
No-one

yes really
Does your foil hat come in small, medium or large?:p

The IRA used to actually phone up the police and tell them roughly where they were going to bomb - they even had pre-agreed code words so the police knew it was them rather than a hoax.


Sure was thoughtful of them.

Meantime, Bush goes on vacation and terror alerts go up. Coincidence, eh?

I must admit it is getting much harder to have any understanding for the followers of islam.
Now I can understand insurgents fighting inside Iraq as it is there country and it is being occupied by foreign powers, but when they come to the west to escape the fighting and start planting bombs, that is another matter.
I think we need new policy in the west, a joint one, including all western powers, if your family member is a terrorist, we deport the whole damn family after stripping you of your new canadian cititzenship. Same goes for those fighting our troops.
If you are a canadian by bith and you engage in this crap, then the person gets natural life in jail, and if anyone dies because of such an act, then shoot them.

Civilised terrorism:lol:

On a more serious level, the IRA and Eta ( I think) used to telephone warnings as their actions were directed against the machinations of state rather than the peoples within.

This reminds of the hours after the shootings at Virginia Tech.Then ,the tinfoil crowd was postulating that it was a "black op" orchestrated by the neocons to promote 2nd amendment rights.Of course it wasn't,so they faded away waiting for the next opportunity to show thier ignorance of life and death. To them there is no terrorists in the world,only right-wing zealots that operate like characters in a dime-store comic book.I wish they would get a job and save up enough money for a one-way ticket to the Middle East where hating women,gays and democracy is an enviable trait.

Actually it's pretty much a given that it's being fed from Iran and Syria and al queda.

True Iraq is made up of 3 distinct people who were lumped together in one country by Britain when she had the power to draw up the world's boundary lines.Mostly for some odd reason ,after colonizing was no longer viable ,most countries she put together had waring factions brought together in one country.....night friggin mare

What is with the "tin foil hat" comments? How does that encourage discussion? Unless to stifle is the intention?

The site you sent me on gave NO vids, excerpts or otherwise wrt ohhh 'jihadist' activity. I think you are not entirely honest with you presentation. There was nothing there.

Perhaps you would like to try again?

Wasn't it Kipling who said east is east and west is west and never the twain shall meet?
This country had better start getting serious about who they let in or some serious tensions are going to rise right here in our own streets. It is most unfortunate that so many come here to escape the strife in their home country and then begin fostering the same problems here. We must weed out the trouble makers and if they start once they're here out the go, and never mind the thousand appeals process. If not the war measures act, some other emergency legislation needs passing to strip undesirables and crimminals of newly aquired citizenship papers and ship them out within 15 to 30 days.

What wever the sorce of this series of car bombs, they are going to get it right one of these days and then the really serious troubles may begin. Don't think for a second that the radical groups who do this respect anything we hold sacred. Look at the hatred even among their own. It seems to be inherent in their culture. Any time weapons of this type are manufactured I feel the intent to harm people severely is the goal. I just hope they don't ruin the Concert dedicated to Princess Dianna. That would be an insult to the the memory of such a gracious and caring woman. There is evidently no moral values with these groups and I'll bet they surface on the North American continent soon.

savage? do you remember what your greath nation did to the native indians? do you know what israel are doing to palestine? the same what the nazi did the jews, you say they are savage, look in the mirror to see what kind of savage you are.

Ah, as usual, Dear Logic, you are SOOOOO wrong.

I keep telling you.......it is simple, simple, simple........try and understand.

If the Israelis were doing to the Palestinians what the Nazis did to the Jews there would be no Palestinians.

Simple, eh?

Try again.

Yes, it is. They found two bombs in London, and it got dark last night.......must be a conspiracy.

God, you have to admire your ability to stretch, I'll give you that.

There wasn't supposed to be, it's a chat room.

Hours before London explosives technicians dismantled a large car bomb in the heart of the British capital's tourist-rich theater district, a message appeared on one of the most widely used jihadist Internet forums, saying: "Today I say: Rejoice, by Allah, London shall be bombed."​
CBS News found the posting, which went on for nearly 300 words, on the "al Hesbah" chat room. It was left by a person who goes by the name abu Osama al-Hazeen, who appears regularly on the forum. The comment was posted on the forum, according to time stamp, at 08:09 a.m. British time on June 28 -- about 17 hours before the bomb was found early on June 29.​

I'm sure you can find all kinds of Jihadi vids, excerpts or otherwise with even the most rudimentary of Internet skills. It took more skill for you to leave that post than it would to find all kinds of Jihadi vids, excerpts or otherwise, so I know you can do it! :lol:

Maybe google translator will work at that site, I'm really not interested in visiting it and trying for myself.
