Good job. But, by the picture I see, hands cuffed in front? Not very good tactics on the ground there. However, again, well done.

Germany's GSG-9 anti- terrorist unit,......good job!
Thanks to the Danes as well.

Lock 'em up and throw away the key.

Thank You! our German neighbors ... I am hopeful we can help you as well as you have helped save innocent lives... peace loving neighbors need to work together to stop such death and destructive attempts. We are all on this earth for a time and must learn to live in peace.

Two muslim converts and a Turk! Islam a religion of peace??? Or a perverse abomination that inspires its converts to kill-same as it has done throughout history from its very inception.

And today we have the Labour numpty FS Milliband exorting the EU to allow 70 m Turkish muslims into the EU!

Unbelievable-one issue on which the Pope is 100% correct-no Turks in Europe!

Nothing to do with Iraq , poverty or inequality. They hate the west and what it stands for. "The religion of peace" is a very dangerous cult indeed ,hell bent in destroying western civilisation.

700kg of liquid raw materials, eh?

That certainly vindicates the new airport security regulations on liquids and gels.

Germany did not support the invasion of Iraq. So much now for those who give this as an excuse for the terror plots in the UK

Der Spiegel in English for anyone who wants a read of a german report on this.
http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/0,1518,504037...

And still Europe/the West allows mass immigration.
The "Religion of Peace" has one agenda.
When will our politicians wake up to what the "man in the street" has seen coming for a very long time?

Feed them Pork for the rest of their lives

No religion allows killing of innocent people in airports, train stations and .......As a Muslim I see alqadee and Taliban as the most dangerous enemies of Islam and its followers .their job is painting this religion only in dark colours and introducing 1.5 billions Muslims to others as terrorists. Their hate and hostility is not restricted to the west . see the statistics . majority of those who are killed by terrorist attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan are Muslims .
These dangerous animals are not the elected representatives of all Muslims . Almost all muslims hate them . their inhuman behaviour should not be written in the name of all muslims . all religions have suffered from extremism and Islam is suffering from this phenomena nowadays.

#You are obviously delusional in the extreme!
Have you ever been to Turkey? Do you know anything at all about the country? Doubt it!
Any sane-minded, reasoned person can see that religion per se is the actual problem: you all claim to be peaceful, as long as we are on your particular side, that is: otherwise people like me are in serious trouble! The USA, for example, is a Christian country, so what does your POPE think of Iraq or Afghanistan then, I wonder?? Does the POPE read any history books I wonder, in particular, the atrocities perpetrated by his very own Roman Catholic church on millions down through the ages? Read Richard Dawkings "The God Delusion" or Sam Harris' "The End of Faith" open your minds - face up to it - religion is THE problem: only when your superstitious nonsense has been dispensed with, will mankind be able to move forward.

Farzad (140: "Almost all muslims hate them . their inhuman behaviour should not be written in the name of all muslims ."

And yet there is relatively little response from our Muslim populations confirming this hatred. When insults to Islam are perceived, such as the cartoons, the Islamic world reacts en masse, and we see large demonstrations in our streets. When a terrorist action occurs, it is fairly quiet. If we base our opinion of the Muslim world on its actions, rather than what some of it says, then there is little evidence for the repulsion you describe.

#14
Fair comment Farzad, but why aren't moderate Muslims shouting from the rooftops about this?
I'm sorry but your religion (in Europe) is undermining Western secular democracy and we're getting pretty sick of it.

GerryGilli (16): "or Sam Harris' "The End of Faith" "

Sam Harris' book opens with the description of a young terrorist strapping explosive to himself, about to become a suicide bomber. Harris then asks the question: what is the religion of the suicide bomber? Why is there no surprise that it's a Muslim? Other religions have indeed had extremist phases, but that does not imply that all religions are equally susceptible to violent extremism; Islam seems particularly prone to this, and I would suggest that this really is due to some aspects of the teaching of Islam. In particular, Islam arose from military expansionism in the early 7th century, and it has always been a religion respecting the soldier; this is not a religion that exhorts us to turn the other cheek.

Given that Islam is suffering from extremism now, and shows no sign of this phenomenon ending, it would be rational to greatly reduce Muslim immigration to the West, to end family reunification, and to limit the religion itself, by closing mosques and Islamic schools fomenting extremism. Great disincentives should be provided to prevent communities turning a blind eye to extremism, such as citizenship removal and deportation.

# 16 I cannot with totaly agree your analysis that religion is the cause of so much trouble. Whilst I hold no belief in supernatural beings I would not take this away from others as long as they do not wish to use their beliefs to affect me, whether that be through laws, politics or direct action. But it seems that our " leaders " can always find some way to hold and grow their power whether that be religion, nationalism or other ways to separate us from our fellow man.

Did not one politician say years ago "that there will be rivers of blood on the streets of britain" and they laughed at him and forced him out of office.

Bet there not laughing now!!!

19 Fairfax!
Personally, I'd close ALL the churches down even the NRMs. Even if I could, enforcing this on people however would be out of the question: people must come to realize for themselves that religion is dumb: nothing but an outdated step on the evolutionary ladder that we should put behind us!
"Onward Christian Soldiers": Now what did they mean by that I wonder, Moses - the guy with the tablets - 'Thou shalt not kill' - what did he do? He killed lots and lots of people that he and his imaginary friend felt were not worthy of living!
At the end of the day belevers all think: our religion is good: your's is bad: you are going to hell, or we'll get you - at the latest - on the Day Of Reckoning! Tolerance - LOL??

#20 Christianity is and has been affecting people's lives for centuries - how can you deny it? What bout stem-cell research and the opposition to it, abortions etc??

#14
Thank you for your post, over here we don't often read or hear responses from Muslims from another country.
In any negative incident involving Islam, we have the Muslim council of Britain giving their response, which tends to have a spin, they speak like politicians and they claim to speak for all Muslims.
I believe it is difficult for ordinary Muslims to speak out against radical movements, how ever we did witness a rally in Glasgow attended by many Muslims against the attempted bombings at Glasgow airport.
This latest attempt in Germany saddens all of us. across Europe and beyond.
As you have stated most Muslims are law abiding and wish to live in peace, the same applies to every one else.
I would like to add that we are aware of the suffering in Iraq, condolences are sent to families and of course to Soldiers who are killed in this terrible war.
I would welcome comments from Muslims, do any of you agree with Farzad?

14. Farzad, Iran
you sound like the voice in the wilderness Farzad!
we all know that when muslim people feel or percieve that Islam has been offended,the result is world wide demonstrations, attacks on christian, burning down of churches, nuns killed and all sorts of other threats from "moderate" muslims.

you said

These dangerous animals are not the elected representatives of all Muslims . Almost all muslims hate them

then why no reaction from moderate muslims over the terrorist attacks carried out by these people?
what is the difference between a cartoon
that muslims find offensive, but people carrying out these acts of terror in the name of Islam is not?

you said
their job is painting this religion only in dark colours and introducing 1.5 billions Muslims to others as terrorists.
on this point you may be right then,(and they are doing a good job) what are moderate muslims doing about it? there are two images concerning Islam it the west

1 that it is the religion of the terrorist
2. Moderate muslims seem quite prepared to allow these terrorists to kill in the name of Allah, thus bringing Islam in to conflict with the west

If Islam has a bad image in the west it is for moderate muslims to correct it.

The sad thing is that from all the messages I read here day after day, the majority of people who post on politics would quietly support the same degree of violence against the English..........

#22 You delude yourself, how many terrorist's
atacks over the past 10 years have been perpetrated by Christians?

This is a muslim problem, it's going to get worse before it gets better, immigration and acceptance of muslims into this country should cease forthwith and remain so untill this threat subsides.

When such attrocities occur the silence from "moderate muslims" is deafening, they want their cake and eat it.

"Rivers of blood" Enoch Powell, never was a truer word spoken.

#27 - Sorry Jingling Geordie - why the last ten years - a reference to NI, perhaps?

"On July 26, 2007, 17 Christians were convicted of religion-inspired terrorism under Indonesian law. A Christian mob attacked, murdered, and beheaded two Muslim fishermen in September 2006"

The reason there are no 'Christian' attacks in the UK at the moment (let's just forget NI or GWB's and God's Own Country's Iraq Crusade, shall we!) is surely because we actually now live in an increasingly secularised society, where the power base of the established Church has been to all intents and purposes eradicated (except perhaps at Xmas time)!
My point is that RELIGION is the problem: not THEIR religion: ANY religion! In the longer scheme of things we have to discard it: this is not delusion, this is common sense. The delusion is the imaginary guy in the sky and the people claiming to be believers!! Christian fundamentalism in the USA is FRIGHTENING unless you're part of it!
Enoch Powell was a puerile racist - why any sane person would quote him is beyond me!

#21

The quote you mentioned was by Enoch Powell, and as you said, he was forced out of office because he had the balls to stand up and say it.

40 years later, people still don't have the balls to say that he was right!

Unfortunately...... it looks like he was!

More civilians were killed by Muslim extremists in two hours on September 11th than in the 36 years of sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland-

More people are killed by Islamists each year than in all 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition combined

19 Muslim hijackers killed more innocents in two hours on September 11th than the number of American criminals executed in the last 65 years

India and the Sudan and Algeria and Afghanistan and New York and Pakistan and Israel and Russia and Chechnya and the Philippines and Indonesia and Nigeria and England and Thailand and Spain and Egypt and Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia and Ingushetia and Dagestan and Turkey and Kabardino-Balkaria and Morocco and Yemen and Lebanon and France and Uzbekistan and Gaza and Tunisia and Kosovo and Bosnia and Mauritania and Kenya and Eritrea and Syria and Somalia and California and Argentina and Kuwait and Virginia and Ethiopia and Iran and Jordan and United Arab Emirates and Louisiana and Texas and Tanzania and Germany and Australia and Pennsylvania and Belgium and Denmark and East Timor and Qatar and Maryland and Tajikistan and the Netherlands and Scotland and Chad and Canada and China and...

...and pretty much wherever Muslims believe their religion tells them to:

"Fight those who do not believe in Allah, ... nor follow
the religion of truth... until they pay the tax in acknowledg-ment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection."
Qur'an, Sura 9:29

well done to GSG9 job well done 2*tap in future

thatscottishwoman must be upset over their capture.

OOPS, #..30. Ok, I explained, one pot. Whats your excuse?

Think thin.

14 Farzad wrote, "their inhuman behaviour should not be written in the name of all muslims "

Yet Muslims are the ones who are responsible for most terrorism in the world. Muslims are also responsible for the curriculum of hate that has spread steadily into Western mosques and Muslim schools in the form of Wahabiism. If the average Muslim on the street, or Mullah in the mosque condemned these behaviours they wouldn't be so widespread. So, many of us don't believe Muslims whose lips say one thing while their pocketbooks and actions say another.

27. Jingling Geordie

I think you are the one deluding yourself,

The majority of terrorist attacks directed against the UK in recent history were commited by the IRA who are Catholic.

And interestingly at no point did we carpet bomb Southern Ireland.. perhaps we only attack the homelands of brown skinned terrorists.

This also applies to the US where the majority of of domestic terror attacks were commited by white members of ring wing Christian militias.

ring wing?? that should read Right wing

More foolishness from the manic seventh century cult crowd - if they dislike modernity so much, then head off to live in the remore mountains of western S. Arabia along with their Wahabi brethern and leave us alone.

#32
You are a moron to think that I am unhappy over their capture. Would it make you happy if I vented hatred towards all Muslims? Any one who plans or supports acts of terrorism should be deported from these shores, same for any one who calls for the death of Jews or Christians.
#14
I responded to his post because I think he deserved a reply.
I along with every one was shocked and saddened at the bombings in New York, Madrid and London.
The attempted bombings in Glasgow made me angry and I spoke angrily about Muslims, but I calmed down.
It is not a sign of weakness to try and understand what makes people believe that killing themselves and others can in any way strengthen their cause.
Muslims are settled in all corners of Europe, I sincerely hope they are not all radicalised.

#14. "These dangerous animals are not the elected representatives of all Muslims . Almost all muslims hate them ."

I don't believe that anymore. Not in the least. When Islam is 'insulted' your people find time to protest en-mass. When the towers fell, your people found time to celebrate, en-mass. When an innocent loses his head on an internet video, your news agencies follow it with scenes from Iraq, offering justification. Yes, there are elements that don't agree, but they are very quiet. TSW, I hear you, but they are all radicalized. Their deafening acceptance and refusal to stand against these acts are radical in that they accept that WE in the west are not worth defending. On the subway today, I gave my seat to an Islamic woman with a child. Although she did not acknowledge the act, I didn't really care. What struck me was how completely I evaluated everything she carried, including her child. How can I not after the British Muslim who wanted to use her baby as a bomb. It's over for me. Trust is gone forever.

#5..You have caused me to reflect some..No mean feat! Well, after a treebark&tomato sandwich (Did'nt put in the G, as you do, sangwich) and a double grn tea. Here's what I'm worried by..I know it's cool to be erudite and tell all about Tri..whatever.. and it's on the net for those enquiring minds. But, there could be a nasty future nazi, who's just seen your post. KOOL.. sez he. This little sucker has had bad ego deflating event in front of his peers, (Other future nazi's) He was caught in Mr cantgetany's class, playing, drop the eraser. Fessup, we've all done it! OK, Jonni S Abuse jr, prepares a trick or treat gift in a big orange pumkin courtesy of you..Knock ,Knock, mail call..But teach' is wise in his ways, does a recon job on the bad spelling.......Calls the Warriors and the EDU/EOD...So now this poor 6 in the family guy, gets to put on the Armani that makes him look like Robby the Robot on steriods. Ok it ends well, no nasty bits and pieces, which trust me, will spoil your day.

Plot thickens..On this side of the pond were the SUN shines, there are a bunch of serious dudes in a place called Fort Meade It's just a really big Vacuum Cleaner. NSA pass on the info to GCHQ, So there you are, dosing on the sofa in your backsplit (Type of house) on the floor, wrapper from a 12lb cheese burger and a ton o' fries, DIET coke of course.
But, up above, the Black Helicopter..Next thing The black Armani's with that narrow red beam shining off the MP5's!!!!!!!!! #5 We, Big Sensible People have got to keep our secrets,Huh...

Think Thin, Think Sun..What have you got to lose?

#43 What??

#43/44... you are a conspiracy nut job which also stands for CANADIAN. You keep letting all those Islamists immigrate to your fine country and see what happens. There won't be so much pride in your health care system (which is a joke), and the fact that you have more peacekeepers around the world than we Americans (we just won't work for anything that begins with UN, as in UNable... too defeatist for our liking...) You will need our Ft. Meade... and our Ft. Benning and our Ft. Hood, and our Ft. Stewart, and many many more, sooner rather than later... We are at war with Islam, PERIOD. If Islam is such a peaceful religion getting a bad rap from a small minority (#14), why aren't the majority DOING anything about it? Hmmm...

#36, MikeXL:
I agree that many terrorist attacks are not committed by Muslims.

I can not agree with the carpet bombing statement.
We execute Tim McVey. We burned the Waco church to the ground. The FBI hunted the KKK and the Black Panthers out of existence. In the American Civil War we had Sherman's March and the burning of Atlanta. We bombed Germany during WWII, and would have used the bomb if we could have only made it sooner. Our commitment to destroying our enemies is clearly not based on the color of ones skin.

We provide an equal opportunity for our enemies to die.

#13

"Feed them Pork for the rest of their lives"

It was rumoured that the Russians took the bodies of those guilty of the attack in the theatre in Moscow, and fed them to pigs. Although the other version I heard was that they buried the bodies wrapped in pigskin. As I understand it, that means no paradise and no 72 "virgins" for the "shaheed".

#28

Ah, there is none so fanatical as the fundamentalist atheist, the wide-eyed follower of his absolute-truth religion.

#36

"The majority of terrorist attacks directed against the UK in recent history were commited by the IRA who are Catholic"

The Provisional IRA leadership were largely secular, and their goal was a secular socialist republic. They were just smart enough to realise that there was a well of support out there amongst Catholics, based on the oppression that they had suffered for decades. That war was not really a religious war.

Any time anyone pops up claiming to speak for Muslims, or the Muslim community, ignore them. There is no such thing as the Muslim community, just as there is no such thing as the gay community or the female community, or the disabled community. They/we are all just individual people, differentiated by race or culture or gender or sexuality or whatever, by likes and dislikes, opinions and experiences.

#36Mike

"And interestingly at no point did we carpet bomb Southern Ireland.."

Why would you carpet bomb southern Ireland? I mean, when you plan on stealing a peoples country from them, you wouldn't carpet bomb them would you?

Do you know what carpet bombing is? I don't think so. If you want to know about carpet bombing then Google, 'Bomber Harris' and learn something.

Speaking as a hard-core Atheist ... I can honestly say that all religeons are dangerous.

People who believe in this God nonsense are at best just deluded ... and at worst a bunch of fascists who believe that they alone are the "chosen people"

Pass the boak bucket pleeeeezz

The only 'good muslim'

... just like the only 'good Jew' or "good Christian"

... is one who has ditched this God crap.

If more people studied science and had a better appreciation of us Earthlings

... and what we are

... and where we came from

... the world would be a safer place.

I sometimes wish we could transport all these religeous 'god-fearing' numpties to a distant planet.

don't these numpties listen to their science teachers at secondary school??

We evolved from the apes ...

... we learned to speak languages ...

... we learned to use tools

... we learned agriculture

... we learned to build cities

... we built telephone AND COMPUTER networks

All the modern technologies we have were the product of 'trial and error'

SCIENCE NOT RELIGEON IS WHAT COUNTS ...!!1

Her and Djookers must she crying over a beer tonight.

Every poster here assumes that the MOTIVE behind this alledged 'terrorist plot' was religious. Perhaps you should wash your brains of the islamaphobic propaganda and seek real motive ...

Even non-conspiracy theorists may find it interesting to read this article in conjunction with the following articles to achieve a balanced picture of both sides of the argument

That certainly vindicates the new airport security regulations on liquids and gels.

I suppose you are trying to imply they were going to take 700kg of liquids aboard a flight ....

#46 - Himthatknows

Pls don't mistake the gibberish that The Grouch Ontario spouts as being indicative of the majority of Canadians.

I would have thought that if you consider yourself an intelligent person you have recognized that and not taken the opportunity to take a few unwarranted, and may I add, ill-informed cheap shots at your northern neighbour and closest ally.

As to letting "Islamists" immigrate and become a threat within: I ask you: weren't the majority of the terrorists responsible for the 9/11 attacks allowed into your country to undertake pilot training?

Also, our soldiers are carrying the fight in Afghanistan alongside yours. So before you summarily dismiss us as "peacekeepers" - which we have been and are damned proud of that record - consider that we have have been in every major conflict before you saw fit to join in - and those conflicts we chose not get involved in - Vietnam and Iraq - speak to our right to independent, and some would say, commendable judgement.

And, if you judge an ally by the criterion that an ally never disagrees, always says I'm with my ally right or wrong, then I guess you're from the "Dubbya" school of " you're with us or agin us".

And what, particular expertise do you have to describe our Healthcare system as a joke?

Unless proven otherwise, suggest you change your handle to " Him that thinks he knows". However, that, I am told, is trait of a number of Americans. Funny: Can't seem to remember a film entitled, "The Ugly Canadian"?

#50, #51, #52, #53

Oooh, such a fanatic. What is dangerous is those who are so adamant in their beliefs and have no room for the tiniest sliver of doubt.

OK, using the most scientific techniques you can, prove that God does not exist.

See, that's your problem. Those aetheists that believe there is nothing, are no less fundamentally deluded, and are basing their whole belief system on nothing but faith, as much as any religion.

49 - Cheap and simplistic shot at Bomber Harris and all who served under him.

Does your indictment include all of the American generals in charge of the American daylight bombing during the same period?

Carpet bombing was also perfected in the Vetnam war.

For an informed debate about the Allied strategic bombing campaign, I recommend you Google Professor Bashow of the Royal Military College Canada.

60 / You cannot prove God does not exist. Equally, you cannot prove that God exists.

First and foremost I must clarify a previous statement I made in the last few weeks. I said something to the effect-- that the militaries of the world are sactioned by Declarations of War, NATO, and the UN. I simply stated that terrorist have no legal anything, only Jihads and Fatwahs. Terrorist should be captured. Their actions are criminal, not legal. I am not directing this statement to any country, just stating what I understand to be international law. I do not like terrorist....I am not a terrorist. Sorry for the confusion. Also, I did not make a bad commit toward President Bush. I truly respect our President, our Government, and our Military.
This next section is for #22 and #52.
For the past couple of years I have had some severe financial problems, marital problems, had my reputation damaged and even had estrangement from my older daughter. My younger daughter seemed to keep her faith. And for the last couple of months I have questioned whether God and my Christain religion was real or if it was something drilled in my head until I was brain washed to believe it. Guess what folks--THERE IS A GOD!!!Last week I witnessed the birth of my grandchild. My daughter let me have the honor of being in the delivery room. Of course, the child's father was there as well and a friend, but my precious child whom I adore and love included me in the most special event of her life. The moment I saw the miracle of life that was my grandchild, I no longer questioned God's existence. Yes, I too have given birth to two beautiful daughters;but seeing ones' grandchild born seals the deal. God is real...He is everywhere. Yes, you may argue Darwin's theory, but both my daughters and myself hold IQs much higher than an Ape. You could come back in rebuttle and say a million years of adaptive growth surged mankinds IQ. That is Bull Mister. And, having seen what I saw last week, you know I can finally quit giving myself a pity party. God promises u

#14 Farzad from Iran claims that Moslems are opposed to killing of innocent people by Moslems. Methinks you protest too much. Iran is the country that has vowed to eliminate Israel. Iran also openly persecutes the peace loving Bahais and is second in the world behind China in executions. And when has ANY Moslem country had a demonstration or even condemned the killing of the Darfur Blacks in Sudan?
As usual the Moslems speak with two voices - one of hatred of non-Moslems for their own people and another for their gullible apologists in the West.

#62

"You cannot prove God does not exist. Equally, you cannot prove that God exists."

Exactly. Which makes aetheists such as Richard Squawkings etc equally as fundamentalist as those who are religious. The only scientifically rational position is being agnostic.

No doubt Iran will be named soon as the supplier of the military grade detonators .... oh how I hope that they will be traced back to US military stock.
