So here we go again. Another international Islamic terrorist plot – and yet another British connection.
The attempt by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to blow up an American plane was averted only by luck and courage.
The incident obviously raises alarming questions about gross lapses in security. In particular, how did Abdulmutallab obtain a U.S. visa when he had been on an American watch-list of people with known terrorist connections?

Meanwhile, the “Muslim community” is shocked, shocked!
We hardly knew him!
- London mosque that Flight 253 jihadist attended is shocked, shocked by his terror attack
- Nigerian Islamic scholars pass the buck: “Al-Qaeda,” you say? No “Al-Qaeda” here!
Backlash! Backlash!
Nigerians in U.S. shocked by Flight 253 jihadist, start whining about a possible “backlash.” This whole article is absurd, however, since Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab did not try to blow up Flight 253 because he was Nigerian, but because he was Muslim and believed it his religious duty to wage war against Infidels.
Nobody knew him, nobody remembers a thing:
They’re just not sure, you see. They have so very many students. But don’t worry: even if Abdulmutallab did attend a class or two there, they teach about “reclaiming Islam from jihadists, focusing specifically on the issue of preventing terrorism.” So he could not, repeat, could not, have learned his jihadism in Houston. Got that?
Melanie Phillips, continued:

But the deeper and more urgent issue for Britain concerns the key role this country has once again played in a Muslim’s trajectory to radicalisation and terror. Abdulmutallab, who claims to have been working for Al Qaeda, was an engineering student at prestigious University College London for three years until 2008.He was actually refused an entry visa to Britain earlier this year, but only because the institution at which he said he wanted to study turned out to be non-existent.
How, people might well ask, could such a radical have been educated in Britain without the authorities jumping on him?
Did MI5 know anything about him – especially since he was on a U.S. terrorism watch-list for two years?
As yet, we still don’t know much about this man’s history.
It appears he became a religiously extreme Muslim at a school in Togo, but was further radicalised while studying in London before apparently going to Yemen and linking to Al Qaeda. More>>

Thank Gordon for that one!!
Jihad Watch:
“London mosque that Flight 253 jihadist attended is shocked, shocked by his terror attack.
Every Muslim group that ever had anything to do with Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is trying to make sure that no one gets the idea that he learned jihad from them.”
Of course they will!
They are not good at accepting responsibility for anything.
Put pressure on the Police to do their job.
We are all equal under the law.

First of all, all Muslims who believe in Sharia Law are informed its acceptable to lie, its in the best interest of Islam. According to Sharia law r8.2 ” is obligatory if the goal is obligatory”. In law r8.0, Umm Kultum addded, I did not hear him (Prophet) permit untruth in anything people say, except for three things, war, settling disagreements,and a man talking with his wife. The above law tells Muslims basically that you can lie under certain conditions. Is it any wonder that Muslims will look western media in the eye and say, Islam is a religion of peace, and then turn around to thier own Muslim people
and say, God bless the magnificent nineteen, meaning the nineteen 9/11 Arabterrorists.
Now he is getting it!

* as the US intelligence tsar warned al-Qa’ida was becoming more “cunning”
Yes, boarding an international flight without showing a passport was a cunning stunt. I wonder who masterminded that stroke of brilliance?
Mullah…
“Yes, boarding an international flight without showing a passport was a cunning stunt. I wonder who masterminded that stroke of brilliance?”
Yes, infiltrators, who work for Airport Security Firms, come to mind. Profiling employees is going to be the buzz word for the decade of “The Teens”.
Dhumme Dhimmi,
Have you checked out the staffing of the local government immigration centers?? Not too many non-muslims there.
Yes, it is the same in Australia.
That is why I came looking for others who felt like I did. The only thing anti-discriminatory now is not hiring Anglo-Celtic Aussies.
We are supposed to be non-discriminatory, but have you been to Hungry Jacks lately. Now I understand why hostile eyes were sent in my direction for no reason whatsoever, when I entered the store. Me, being me, made an extra special effort to win one particular one over because I thought “The poor things, they have had such a hard start in life”. Now, thanks to you good people, I know a lot of background to it.
They are hostile because of Islam.
At our major railway station most security staff are Middle-Eastern. That has always had me worried. In an emergency I would be watching them. That glint they get in their eye is chilling. And the arrogance.
I have noticed, of late, that it has become muted. And hijabs are disappearing. Now there are lots of women in their 20′s to 50′s with long pony-tails.
That has happened after the terrorist court cases.
Employers will be automatically doing profiling from now on, anyway. They always tend to put what is good for their business, first.
Yeh! Sure!
“Sky News’ Home Affairs Correspondent, Mark White, said the arrests were unlikely to be terrorism-related and were most likely related to immigration offences.”
