Omar Mohammed Khan, Mohammed Hasseen, Anzal Hussain, Mohammed Saud, Zohaib Ahmed and Jewel Uddin all admitted preparing an act of terrorism between 1 May and 4 July 2012.
Not the sharpest terrorists in the box are they.

You don't think it's ironic that a group of muslim men thought the best way to counter an anti-muslim political group (who often make reference to all muslims being terrorists), was to blow them up?

I would put a link up to "isn't it ironic" only the song isn't really about irony, which is ironic. Anyway, more rubbish 'terrorism' to mock.

Tenuous: but i'll grant you by definition that has a certain ring of irony in its stupidity

Perhaps the irony is in fact that he did comment, twice, though his comment was nothing to do with irony, much like Alanis Morrisette's song, the tenuous link.....wow, Les you genius!!

Spot on.
I thought that was not that difficult to work out!
With a bit of imagination you could associate the word Irony with the act of ironing even if it does not really mean that.
