    The Republicans have been for the past few days now warning Americans about the Democrats 'sending the wrong message' to Al-Qaida and other terrorists through their support for Lamont and the whole anti-war movement, which shows their 'weakness'. This new terrorist plot should certainly help resonate that message home...

    BTW, CNN is saying that the men are likely Pakistani-Brits.

    Yep,

    Been talking to my friends in the UK all morning. They are not just Pakastani, they were BORN in the UK, so some muslim leader is over there brainwashing their people into blowing themselves up, they need to track that guy down and get him and his followers immediatly.

    This is religious brainwashing of the worst kind.

    What gets me is where are all the Peaceful Muslims when all this is going on, shouldn't they be ratting this guy out? Maybe that is the UK police found out...at least I hope so....

    Fkn' terrorists...I'm glad we stopped them, but as usually, you stop one, 10 more pop up...

    The brainwashing reminds of that movie Syriana...Great film...

    I didn't really think of that when I posted it as I see this more as a "general politics" forum.

    followed up by...
    Not sure how you jump from 'motivation' to this defense of saying he said they had 'nothing in common.' Keep grasping at straws.

    These terrorists had no method to their madness. Hezbollah has been engaged in a struggle against the terrorist state of Israel for 20 years.

    I suppose this is where you label me a terrorist supporter, post some pic, or resort to one of your other childish tactics.

    i don't think these guys would be going around telling everyone that they are planning on killing a bunch of innocent people… i wonder how they recruit people if that is true :confused: ...unless they knew each other beforehand.

    It could be a global plot, I hope they catch all kinds of people, make them far less likely to try it again.

    But they need to get the leaders, the cowards who hide behind the children they are sending to their deaths.

    The guys who were caught this morning = terrorists
    Hezbollah = terrorists

    Both claim to share the same religion (I am not saying anything against the Muslim religion, just against people who kill others and plot to kill others in the name of that religion) and believe that they will be martyrs when they die while killing other people.

    This is correct. If you support Hezbollah and share the same demagogic belief that not Hezbollah, but Israel are the terrorists, then, by doing that, you support terrorists.

    But what if I believe that both Israel and Hezbollah are terrorists, do i still support terrorists? You think in such black and white terms its amazing.

    yes, most of the suspects were of homegrown pakistani heritage.

    thank God the terrorist plot was foiled.

    Whic to me is mind boggling, you can understand a guy in Lebanon or the West bank who has lost everything, but people who live or have grown up in the UK etc, that is some serious brainwashing.

    it might have been due to a social issue, though unlikely. i believe around 40% of pakistanis residing in Britain are unemployed.

    also, just saw on msnbc ticker, the plan was to blow up 10 planes across the Atlantic Ocean using some kind of liquid explosives. officials have arrested 24 so far.

    I hear Zionists saying down with the Muslims. So Muslims have every right to kill every Zionist and every Zionist supporter.
