Why would they be mostly Brits? Surely its likely to be about 50/50.
And of course there is some debate as to where they were planning to blow them up, one of the flights was to New York, if they had done it near the end of the flight it could, potentially hit part of the city. But then thats just conjecture.
I doubt the aim was specifically to 'top 11th September' it was just to cause a lot of destruction.
Its all conjecture and hearsay at the moment, but the airlines alledged to have been targeted were American carriers (United, AA, Continental) flying to Washington, NY and Los Angeles.
They might have thought Brussels airport a little easier to get through, I'm sure you could find a flight going Brussels - LHR - JFK.
Quite a lot of europeans fly to the states through Heathrow.
Finally, a conspiracy theory that makes sense!
Because EVERYTHING must somehow be an attack on America. They need as many excuses for the Mid-East war as possible.
Maybe if it was like... I dunno... Somali Airlines.
Well surely Muslim terrorists are the odd nutters among Muslims. Or are you saying that Muslim terrorists are normal, rational people?
You know a lot of these people then?
What are you on about now? Those behind these latest planned attacks were mostly middle class 'British' Muslims. They weren't refugees from some third world country...
Who occupied or abused the perpetrators of 7/7, 9/11 or these latest planned attacks? Why aren't abused Zimbabweans blowing themselves up? Mugabe kicked thousands out of their homes last year...Where are the bombs?
Anyway I do not care what justification the left tries to invent for fundamentalist Muslims blinded by a sick and fanatical ideology. Muslims adhering to such views need to be exposed and if not British citizens deported. Our intelligence services need to infiltrate every section of the Muslim community and we have to openly stand up to Islamofascism and those that wish to appease this disgusting movement. It is highly important that we keep moderate Muslims on side but even if we succeed in that objective it doesn't change the depressing fact that there is a very significant minority of Muslims here that hold views incompatible with civilised democracy.
Or are you trying to say that only Muslims like blowing people up? I don't see Gerry Adams kneeling down and facing Mecca too often. And as has been stated already, the secular Tamil TIgers are the biggest exponents of suicide bombings.
Still, its nice to have a bogeyman, and having a supposed plot by darkies to kill good honest white folk is a good way of the Government justifying blowing the hell out of the Middle East, and getting support for their actions just when everyone was starting to get upset at what's happening in the Lebanon.
Shut it...;) Somali Airlines would have turbo props if anything....
Yeh he does, I can be thesite anti-semite and he can be thesite anti-muslim. We can have picnics and regail of former British colonianism.
Except you are rascist and he isn't because Islam is an idea not an ethnicity.
What the fuck are you on about? I can be the racist and he can be the sectarian, happy now? You can join us, your anti-Muslim "Mad Mullahs" views aren't exactly hidden from the public domain either.
and you're a cock of the first order
Whatever Blagsta. If you had any principles at all you would stop apologising for a rascist.
What's a rascist?
What are you on about?
So is Judaism. Jews can't be described as a race.
If they don't like our foreign policy, clear off or use the ballot box. A stupid letter will go straight in the bin, especially when a small minority are asking for a policy change.
We will not allow these muslims to determine our policy. If they want Islamic policies, if they want policies that suite terrorists then clear off to an Islamic country. They really do piss me off. Stupid islamic communities - who do they think they are. Show so bloody loyalty!
You're a racist if you dislike a particular race or nationality, hence the term racism.
Why not? What you gonna do?
One of these days I'm gonna buy a Dakota as my personal transport. I would retro fit it with all the luxuries and modern stuff but keep it the same on the outside. Beautiful.
Anyway, off topic.
Who? Where?
For someone intelligent it's a shame you ask such a stupid question.
I do not have any blanket 'anti' feelings towards Muslims in general or Islam as a faith.
I am however disgusted by terrorism and I think the perpetrators of attacks like 9/11 and 7/7 are sick and vile people. Whether it's suicide bombs on the tube at home, Hamas terrorists in Israel or 'insurgents' in Iraq those responsible share a fanatical ideology that happens to be a strand within Islam. I have many Muslim friends, while they are very secular and westernised I do not hold any prejudices about religious Muslims.
I have no 'obsession' with Muslims but I am capable of recognising the grim fact that a number of British Muslims pose a grave danger to all Brits - including Muslims. (Lets not forget the Islamofascists hate moderate Muslims as much as they hate the rest of us. Muslims were among the victims on 7/7 and the 7/7 terrorists decision to attack Edgware Road made it pretty clear that they had no intention of not targeting Muslims).
Michael Gove MP actually made a few very interesting points in a recent interview, in particular
Perhaps if the moderate British Sufi Muslim Council called for the execution of gays and Jews and defended wife-beating like the Egyptian cleric Al-Qaradawi they'd get the red carpet treatment from Ken Livingstone?
I wonder if the conspiracy theorists that seem to think this foiled threat on the lives of thousands of people would jump on a plane with a few of those arrested with the old relaxed security rules...I thought not.
