Terror target named.....

[realityhack]

I initially thought the target was a member of the BNP or Labour party.

Me too - thought it might be Nick Griffin, but that would be a mistake - no-one would really care if he was kidnapped.

I thought the target was a motorist doing 31mph on 30mph road

Only a lengthy custodial sentence will teach that type, murders well we turn a blind eye to that sort of thing round these parts.

I thought that ithe target might have been a cartoonist.

Seems a reasonable (if you can use that word in this context) choice.This guy would not only send a message to the infidels, but also to those Muslims who they (the terrorist) feel are letting the side down.

My guess at their list of preference would have been:

Prominent ex-muslim.
Muslim working for the infidel. They would see him as an ex-muslim.
Prominent anti-muslim infidel.
Prominent pro war infidel.

and so on.

We should give them what they want and reintroduce the death pentalty. Bout time the Tower of London got used for something useful!

Odious as Mr Griffin is, his kidnapping and (possible murder) would incite a racial/religeous war in this country. Thus, he would be an ideal target from the radical islamist point of view.

I'll be on the barricades shooting the evil feckers.

Amused to see a card in the newsagents :

Room to rent £XXX + bills

Muslims only

0777 XXXXXXXXXXX


I wonder how much interest the hate crime department pay to that?

[stackpole]

There's something odd about this. How did the police know? How come there were so many mozzies involved?

And the victim - curiously these terrorists have chosen someone who, if they killed him, would generate great sympathy by the population at large for ordinary mozzies, which would dampen down the anti-mozzy voices.

I might be wrong, but something in the back of me mind tells me this is a load of concocted bollocks.

British passport holders are getting special attention from US Department of Homeland security as a potential terrorists just because of some UK born Pakistani’s whole hold British passports are involved in terrorist activities. I object to this, and I don’t think I am alone.

That's not quite true. For example, at the moment I wouldn't dare try and fly anywhere near the US as I have been involved in online gambling run out of the Caribbean specifically targetted at Americans. That has nothing to do with the Muslims and everything to do with the US becoming paranoid about everything that might be different to their culture.

I mean, take a look at this - http://slashdot.org/articles/07/01/31/2314214.shtml

Is this the reaction of a rational nation? Make no mistake, British passport holders are being targetted simply because they are not American. No other reason.
