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."
"The UK is the country furthest along the road to 1984." while providing sanctuary to thousands of Muslims who want to change the UK into something different than the soft-hearted fools who let them become citizens envisioned.
Busting the exact opposite of your real cultural enemies is less than brilliant...

>>The material was to be used for research in terrorist tactics.
Sure it was. Just like Pete Townsend was conducting "research."
I wonder how many of the 7/7 students (and 9/11 airflight "students") researched terrorist tactics before they went off to kill others.
Further, I'm be curious to know his field of study, wherein "terrorist tactics" is a relevant component of his schooling.
The exits are north and south, pick one.
I don't think anyone is denying the Oklahoma City bombing or any other terrorist attack (or attempted terrorist attack that was committed by non-Muslims... what you're forgetting is that there is a great number of attacks that are committed by Muslims who claim to be doing so in the name of their religion.
Strangely enough... we don't see similar numbers of attacks from Catholics, Buddhists, Mormons, Quakers, Amish, Jews, Zoroastrians or even Atheists.
Why is that do you think?
Funny you mentioned the DC Sniper case... forget the leaders name have we? John Allen Muhammad. Just another lone Muslim killer eh? Seems to be a whole lot of them: http://hotair.com/archives/2006/07/31/myth-of-the-lone-muslim-killer/
If you'd really like to count... I'd take a look at http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/ a site that actually has a running count of the number of terror attacks world wide since 9/11... as of the writing of this post we are at 11,140... remind what group of people have recently used children or the mentally retarded as suicide bombers? Oh that that's right... those damn Catholics... no wait...
And remember... none of this discounts the fact that the vast vast vast majority of Muslims out there are peaceful... it only means that a terrorist act is more likely to be committed by one of them and no amount of crying from the ACLU, CAIR or even you is going to change that... only the members of Islam can do that for them by changing the way they preach and practice their faith as a group.

Everywhere the Muslims go, they cause trouble.
Send them home.

It takes two to tango. If only one party thinks that religions can co-exist, what good will that do? Both parties need to be in agreement. Yes, us tree-hugging Westerners may think that we can all live happily together, but Muslims don't feel the same way.

*buzz* Wrong answer. This isn't off-topic at all.
