Great one liner, but I was referring to terrorists in general.
I won't say for certain Al Qaeda was behind this, but I will say it was certainly a moslem terrorist organization.
Shehzad Tanweer
Hasib Hussain
Mohammed Sadique Khan
^ The three suspects (bombers) according to BBC News. Do you think Shehzad and Mohammed were fine irish lads on a mission for the IRA?
If three people in the US named Bill Smith, John Anderson and Steve Wayne blew up a building; would you come to the conclusion that they were in fact part of a Christian terrorist organization?
Listen, as of right now, you know absolutely nothing about the bombings, nobody in the public does. With that being said, it is not rational to point fingers based on the names of the suspected dead.
What we do know is that these men were born and raised in London.
If these men were part of a terrorist organization, it seems likely to me that they would have provided some kind of written testament or video as to why they did what they did. Typically, a suicide bomber believes that they are on the side of right and that their cause is a just cause. Why would these men kill themselves and let it be a mystery and not tell the world about their cause and what they are against? (For example: the occupation of Iraq, Afghanistan, or whatever.)
As of right now, no group has claimed responsibility. At first an unknown, unheard of group claimed responsibility only to retract their statements a couple days later.
What's real interesting is that the London police went from completely confused with thumbs up their asses, to knowing exactly who was responsible and where to look in a matter of hours. It seems feasible that perhaps these people did leave behind some kind of written document or video and the "powers that be" are preventing that information from getting to the public because it does not fit their Al-Queda link story. Of course, that is only a possible scenario and without evidence or proof, this means very little.
As far as I’m concerned, this is a case of domestic terrorism and until solid evidence comes about that proves an outside terrorist organization was involved, that’s what I’ll believe.
And just a little side note: Here in the US, hundreds of people have been killed in the last 15 years as a result of domestic terrorism. Most all of the terrorists were Christian. Now, terrorism means to commit acts of violence in order to achieve a political outcome. It is primarily a political act, not a religious one. That means most of the US terrorists should not be considered Christian Terrorists. The same principle should be applied to Muslims.
