UK Academics Arrested For Researching al-Qaida
D Afifi writes "Two political researchers at the University of Nottingham, in the UK, have been arrested under the Terrorism Act for downloading Al-Qaida material from a US government website. The material was to be used for research in terrorist tactics. There has been a huge public outcry, with university staff planning a march to demonstrate against the attack on academic freedom. Yet, one of the students, an Algerian, is still held in custody under immigration charges and is being fast-tracked for deportation."
I mean.. Information doesn't kill people; people kill people!!! It's what you do with the information that counts!
I got curious once and looked up how to make a hydrogen bomb. Does that make me a terrorist? NO. Because I only use my hydrogen bomb for personal self-defense!

Surely you mean Airstrip One.
Seven puppies were harmed during the making of this post.
Short version:
1. To go to heaven you must be martyr
2. To be martyr you must blow yourself up
Handy hint for 2: Make sure to kill many infadel when blowing yourself up.
General hint: If you have attempted 2 and are reading this, you failed. Do not go to heaven. Do not collect 200 denar.

And also proof that you're more likely to be struck by lightning then die in a terrorist attack. And do you remember who it is who throws lightning bolts?
That's right, Zeus.
Circumcision is child abuse.
You get taken away to some non-existent place for questioning.
That which does not kill me only postpones the inevitable.
Oh, absolutely. I just realized last year on my 40th birthday what dirty rotten scoundrels the governments are. Totally ruined my party.

I'd rather have the Muslims than the Daily Mail readers.
First of all, smoking weed is not legal in the Netherlands, they just don't bother to arrest you for it. Second of all, I structurally fail to smoke enough weed to blur the police state. And believe me, I try like noone else...
