    THANKS BE TO ALLAH: AL BEEB COMES THROUGH MOHAMMED SARWAR MP IS NOW ON

    Sir Iqbal Says:

    After a few minutes when Al Beeb was off message, with witness statements etc. Normal Servive is now resumed … Sissons is asking Mohhamed Sarwar MP for his opinion, “are you happy with security at the Airport” verily they know how to take the piss at the BBC.

    Sarwar: Muslim community is very very upset.

    Funny that Sissons didnt ask Sarwar about this:

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/6687889.stm

    Or this:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/politics97/news/07/0715/sarwar.shtml

    Or This:

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/6228920.stm

    Sissons just asks Sarwar are you happy with airport security

    I wish Sarwar had said

    “ITS OUTRAGEOUS THAT AN INNOCENT MUSLIM MAN HAS BEEN ATTACKED IN THIS VICIOUS WAY AFTER THEY HAD A CAR ACCIDENT. I DEMAND AN INVESTIGATION.”

    Peace Be With You

    Actually he answered he was more than happy with the security, It was later on he injected that he had received a number of phone calls from concerned memebers of the muslim community.

    one bunch of people you dont fcuk around with are the Scots.

    No they would be much better off doing this sort of thing at a nice middle class airport.

    Put the working man’s children in danger at your peril.

    official in a flurorescent jacket (airport security?) said : “let the fucker burn”

    That will be why thre are reports of 4 men arrested. Two terrorists & two people who forcibly stopped the terrorists from escaping.

    FookSirIqbal – Keep on posting. It’s good to get both sides of the argument.

    ‘Dhimmification’ on the march:

    Diana West: If anyone wants to know why Muslims the world over tell pollsters the United States is at war with Islam, just read President Bush’s speech at the Islamic Center of Washington, especially the part about American-style religious freedom — in the president’s words, “what we wish for the world.”

    He began this way: “For those who seek a true understanding of our country, they need look no farther than here.”

    No, not the mosque itself, but down the street it occupies. “This Muslim center sits quietly down the road from a synagogue, a Lutheran Church, a Catholic parish, a Greek Orthodox chapel, a Buddhist temple — each with faithful followers who practice their deeply held beliefs and live side by side in peace,” the president explained, standing in his Islamically observant stocking feet before a cool Muslim audience. “This is what freedom offers: societies where people can live and worship as they choose without intimidation, without suspicion, without a knock on the door from the secret police.”

    As one who has attended a Bar Mitzvah at that synagogue down the road, I have news for the president: Freedom, American-style, has changed. To enter, I passed an armed guard holding an automatic weapon manning the door. Armed guards like him man many such doors in many such cities. In fact, so common is it for religious worship (mainly, but not exclusively, Jewish worship) to require armed protection today that we miss the implications: the degree to which freedom to worship without fear in America has been curtailed by the open-ended threat of Buddhist violence.

    Whoops, sorry. I mean, curtailed by the open-ended threat of Greek Orthodox violence. Or was that Catholic Lutheran violence?

    No, the peril to the synagogue was, and remains, Islamic violence. The resulting diminution of freedom is a symptom of advancing dhimmitude — the diminished cultural condition of non-Muslims living in relation to Islam.

    Me and the family have just spent a good half hour laughing our heads off at the inept way this attack was being reported. I mean, it’s a terrible thing, but when you have reporters repeatedly asking “Was he smouldering?” you just can’t help but laugh. The only thing more inept than the news crew were the terrorists, which is how this “apparent” attack will probably be characterised by the end of tomorrow.

    They never seem to be able to comprehend that it doesn’t matter how inept these attacks are because they’re trying to kill us. They even had an expert on stating that “we need to find out what links these attacks, if anything does”. Duh.

    One interesting thought, though: it’s very interesting that they’re resorting to molotov cocktails and gas/petrol bombs. Seems like the police are actually make it very hard for them to find and make decent explosives.

    but the danger is now is that the ante has been upped considerably.

    its pretty easy to get hold of petrol and a stolen car.your choice of targets is pretty limitless.

    whats interesting also about this is that perhaps even the criminal underworld is refusing to sell weapons/explosives to the jihadists.

    is that not a possibility?

    He was just on again but the bimbo didn’t ask the same questions again – not interested any more in what may have been said. Instead she asked him if they seemed “determined”. The guy looked like he couldn’t quite believe anybody could ask such a stupid question.

    2. The Man was either a Zionist dressed as a Muslim or a Muslim with Legitimate Grievences Against BAA

    3. There were a large number of slags at teh airport

    4. Emir Ghasem Brooun (PBUH) is chairing a meeting with a cobra … he has been doing so for the last 3 days

    5. This is a Neo-Con MI5 plot

    6. British Troop Do 100 times worse things every day in Iraq & Afganistan.

    7. Palestine

    8. Control Orders Work we must continue to let more and more Islamic prisoners of conscience out of Prison

    9. Tony Blair/George Boosh

    10. Real terorists are Cornish Liberation Army. Moslems are ACTIVISTS!

    The first car is spotted by a paramedic, who calls the police and they defuse the bomb. The second car is spotted by a traffic warden. He slaps a parking ticket on it and arranges for it to be towed to the pound.

    There is no truth in the rumour, incidentally, that the police are abandoning the terrorist charges and going after the more serious offences of illegal parking.

    And still this is al-BBC’s headline on the Glasgow terrorist attack. Notice how al-BBC make it sound like the car just caught fire and drove itself into the airport. Still musn’t use the word “terrorist” must we, al-BBC ? Might upset the followers of the “Religion of Peace” you admire so much.
