US political intervention in the East is well documented and widley accepted.


Unfortunatly our access to top secret intelligence of what is/has really gone on in the world and the complex political undercurrents and hidden agendas and future intentions of world leaders/countries is so severely restricted that speculation in many areas of international politics(including deeper terrorist motivations) is nearly pointless

Jihad is an inner struggle with your own demons (or bad desires), its a struggle in the mind not as in the way Bin Laden uses it, to physically attack your perceived enemies and to kill them anyway you can.
You understand these things very well, wish others on SN would do likewise.

Nobody 'out of the loop' so to speak knows what is really going on or why ,in the 'bigger picture'. The best we can do is botch up a dodgy jigsaw puzzle and guess at what gaps there might be in our picture of secret world politics and undercurrents etc etc,

A clear sign for me is that all the Gooners at work, without exception, seem to be very pessimistic about this coming season.

Read your own posts chap. Anyone says something you disagree with, you launch into a tirade. Try respecting the opinions of others. Some people get a buzz out of flaming, I guess.

You dismissed my points becuse you didn't like them not because they aren't true. Maybe you agreed with me about the reasons for anger, but neglected to comment. I acknowledge that the war in Iraq has increased the chances of a terrorist attack, but is not the underlying cause. What is the reason that British citizens of Pakistani descent launched an attack becuase of Iraq? FFS they are not Iraqis and propbably didn't give a flying **** about the poeple there when Saddam was in power. Keep dodging the issue if you like though.

Billy Boy should have used a much longer spoon in his dealings with Bush!

Can't help feeling confused and suspicious about the latest London attacks.

Maybe it was Allah's will that these bombs didn't go off? After all terrorists praised him when the twin towers fell, surely it's the same when no lives are lost.

It IS the underlying cause, along with all the other invasions and double-standards show to non-muslim middle-east counterparts.

What on earth do you think is the underlying cause? Are you so bigoted and narrow-minded to blame everything on religion? Perhaps you ought to read this thread: http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=443416 and smell the coffee.

CoobyS you really are an arrogant twit.
The thesis from your self-publicised link seems to be that if you occupy territory, you can expected that the occupied peoples will fight back. This is not rocket science, is it?.

It does not explain why British muslims see fit to attack their own countrymen. Why do they feel better connected to others of a different nationality several thousand kms away than to their hosts. Can you see the connection, Gump?

Have a nice day.

Thanks for the compliment

It's not nationality that is connecting them, it is religion. But the particular religion is arbitrary, it could be hinduism, sikhism, christianity or whatever because none of the religions condone killing.

Simply thinking that because you are a national of one country and that you will support that country is fallacious. Most of my British Indian friends who are as 'English' as me decided to support India in the cricket matches against England - why don't they feel connected? Who would you support, your names suggests you are of Indian origin?

Make your mind up

I agree with Suresh. Even if everything can be blamed on our invasion of Iraq, then you could argue that Iraq would be well within their rights to come and attack us, after all we went in there first but its not them doing the attacking.

We are being attacked by English born men who are no more or less of a Brit than I am, and thats the difference.

And....one of my best mates is Indian and we've been mates for 20 years now. He would categroically support England in football, cricket, war whatever, he doesnt speak Hindhu, and has no interest whatsoever in the Indian faith or culture he's a pure Englander, probably even more than me

Its just a shame the ******** BNP idiots cant see that when we go out

Suresh, you simply don't like it when someone disagrees with you.

Check out the leaked British intelligence report which identifies the Iraq war as a key cause of young Britons turning to terrorism.

It's all very well sitting there shaking your head saying, "they're not even Iraqis" but it's not going to stop extremist groups recruiting and people being blown up.

That's correct and I am not advocating head-wobbling as a solution. Where did you get that idea?

Endless tolerence ending in capitulation isn't an option either, by the way although you seem to be advocating it.

If you can understand this then you can understand why the Iraqis do not have to come here in person and blow themselves up on the Picadilly line. Remember also, this is not localised to Iraq, but the Middle East.

You will realise your logic is incorrect when the penny drops re arbitrary common denominator which supercedes the fallacious assumption of "no more or less of a Brit than I am".
