Yep. Looks like I was right.

>>This, as we all know, is Boaz-speak for "let's use the terrorists' murder of innocent bystanders as an excuse to dig out bloody surah bloody nine and use it to prove that we are all in imminent danger of being murdered in our beds." Let's just see if I'm right, shall we?<<

Not that it is at all difficult where Boaz is concerned.

Your bleatings are entirely predictable, Boaz, as the many comments here must have reminded you.

>>Wow... so many questions.. so many creative angles on the subject.. or is it angles on 'me'<<

The reason you are the topic, Boaz, is because you insist upon it. You are pathologically unable to look at an issue from an objective standpoint.

And that's the positive part.

The negative is that you are pathologically unable to pass up an opportunity, however tangential, to further your whack-a-mozzie agenda.

This has the effect of obliterating, ahead of any real discussion, any chance to discuss a topic rationally and openly. Instead, we all find ourselves addressing your fear and loathing. Which of course is all a boost to your "lookitme lookitme" ego, but very frustrating for the rest of us.

>>Don't attack me.. attack the idea or facts behind the posture.<<

This, in the context of your last post (about Muslims in RMIT) illuminates precisely what I am talking about.

You had no intention of discussing Mumbai.

You merely wanted another excuse to get up onto your bully-pulpit.

For shame.

India, Corporate Media Moves To Frame Pakistan For Suspicious Attacks

http://www.prisonplanet.com/as-predicted-india-links-mumbai-attacks-with-pakistan.html

As we predicted would happen in our early report yesterday,Indian government authorities are now blaming Pakistan for being behind the ongoing attacks in Mumbai,
providing a perfect pretext for expanded U.S. military aggression against a country that is also a target for President elect Barack Obama.

Sophisticated Attacks, but Al Qaeda Link Disputed
http://www.prisonplanet.com/sophisticated-attacks-but-al-qaeda-link-disputed.html

A day after the terror assaults in Mumbai that killed over 100 people,one question remained as impenetrable as the smoke that still billowed from two of the city’s landmark hotels:who carried out the attacks?



Mumbai attacks: Jumble of tactics and targets seems to indicate a homegrown Indian outfit
http://www.prisonplanet.com/mumbai-attacks-jumble-of-tactics-and-targets-seems-to-indicate-a-homegrown-indian-outfit.html

The style of the attack –more a mass guerrilla assault on a series of soft-targets in a major city than the standard spectacular blasts that we have come to associate with those strikes linked closely to the al-Qaida hardcore –

makes it that much more difficult to decipher.


Citizen journalists told to stop using Twitter to update on Bombay attacks

News on the Bombay attacks is breaking fast on Twitter with hundreds of people using the site to update others with first-hand accounts of the carnage.

Foreign Ministry Spokesman Yossi Levi said, mid-morning Thursday, that according to the data received by Israel’s control center for the Mombai terrorist attacks there are no Israelis among the wounded or dead in Mombai hospitals.



Mumbai Attacks Blamed On Al-Qaeda As Pretext For U.S. Military Response
http://www.prisonplanet.com/mumbai-attacks-blamed-on-al-qaeda-as-pretext-for-us-military-response.html

The majority of the corporate media has gleefully seized upon the terror attacks in Mumbai to claim that they are the work of“Al-Qaeda,”
despite clear and contradictory evidence suggesting otherwise, as a pretext to increase bombing campaigns in Pakistan and beef support for the ailing war on terror in Afghanistan.

and alex jones show is a re run?
of the pre election willie nelson intervieuw?

yeah right

big people are making big moves

how dumb our leader think we are?

Now there's a set of info worth having. Thanks OUG.

The Twitter article is intriguing. On one hand Twitterers are providing an info service for authorities and families, on the other, they're interfering with the authorities' ability to tell the story the way they want it told.

No wonder the government wants to control the internet. You can't control the message if you can't control the medium.

If it was supposed to be a pretext for Obama to invade Pakistan they got the timing wrong. Bush is the president, not Obama. And with all the Twitterning going on it would be harder to shift the blame, as Bush did using 9/11 as a pretext for invading Iraq.

Foxy and Pelican,
One of the problems I see is that people keep playing the terrorists actions down by saying it is only a few nutters or radicals.

I think it is far more than that and we have a situation where there are many attacks and only the biggest get much media coverage. Like deaths from car accidents have become so commonplace that they are hardly reported anymore and people become immune to the horror.

Consider this. Since 9/11 there have been 12313 ATTACKS. Not deaths but ATTACKS

For the month of October 2008 there were 174 attacks in 16 countries
This resulted in 832 people dead and 1412 injured.

If you do the maths on a per annum basis or even on a daily basis, to my mind that is considerable and not just a few.

For the week from 15 Nov to 21 Nov there were 38 attacks which killed 146 and injured 222.

I do not know what the answer to this is and I do not want to alarm anyone but i think we should be aware of the scale of the problem.

Something for us all to contemplate.

Banjo,
Where did you get your statistics ?

Sams, I agree that, in the past, christians were as gulty as muslims for terror but my statement was for 'ongoing terror' as in who are today's 'bad guys'.

As for invading Iraq, we all know that the WMD excuse was a fit-up but the 9/11 attacks started the ball rolling. ie they brought it on themselves.

Again I agree with you in that all religion is dangerous but some are more dangerous than others.

Education is not the answer or why would qualified doctors feature amongst some failed suicide-bombers (think Glasgow Airport)?
