    Alright, Mr Smarty Pants. Was there a major terrorist spectacular at the Super Bowl?
    Exactly, so the security worked.

    (1) There were no arrests for attempted terrorism at the superbowl
    (2) There were no terrorist attacks anywhere else in the weeks before or after

    So, no, the security didn't "work" - there was nothing to stop. In the absence of a real threat, the security should have stopped anybody like these kids.

    Because the 1024-based units ARE the true units, and the 1000-based units WERE created just to make hard drives look bigger than they actually were.

    And to make network interfaces and cpu frequencies look faster than they actually are too!!!

    I guess I fail to see how this is new

    Who said it was new? What is great about it is that the superbowl was classified as a "Level I National Security Event" - the very tippy-top of Homeland Security's classification system. These are the events they spend beaucoup (but not published) dollars on "securing" from oogy-boogy terrorists.

    So, despite all this focus on security and crap, these kids just waltzed on in. Yet more proof of how much of a waste of money DHS's 43 billion dollar budget really is.

    The one thing I know about you is that you don't know any muslims. I see or at least talk to muslims from India, Pakistan and Saudi practically on a daily basis because they are all friends of mine, some going back over 20 years now. Shia, sunni and even sufis. They aren't any different than anyone else and they certainly aren't even remotely like that batshit stuff you keep spewing.

    What you linked to doesn't say what you seem to think it says. Just because terrorists operated in Benghazi doesn't mean the US mission there was involved in arming them.

    Actually quite the opposite. What I pointed to is a daily list of fatal attacks.

    The problem with that list is that it is basically any attack that a muslim has any sort of involvement in. You could make a similar list of attacks by christians around the world, doesn't mean they are doing it because they are christian.

    Remember, the BBC has fallen greatly and is no longer an impartial source.

    That's not a BBC poll, that's a gallup poll. It is sad how loons like you are so absolutely convinced of your correctness that you are happy to pick and choose your evidence. Furthermore, the Telegraph/ICM poll you cited was mostly about shariah being used for civil disputes exactly the same way jews use beth din courts. It had nothing to with "global sharia" much less jihad rawwwrr!

    Well, they already have that with 87 Sharia courts already operating in the UK. It is quite possible that these courts will be extended to non-Muslims

    Just like those beth din courts in the UK have been extended to non-jews. You are living in the bubble of dhimmi-wannabees.

    The *facts* are that the mainstream of Islam approves and supports jihad and global Sharia (Google for the surveys).
