Lieutenant-Colonel (ret.) Nigel Wylde, a former senior British Army Intelligence Officer…. who was awarded the Queen’s Gallantry Medal for his command of the Belfast Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit in 1974…”

Lt. Col. Wylde also raised questions about the criminal investigation into the 7th July terrorist attacks in London last year. He noted that police and government sources have maintained “total silence” about the detonation devices used in the bombs on the London Underground and the bus at Tavistock Square. “Whatever the nature of the primary explosive materials, even if it was home-made TATP, the detonator that must be used to trigger an explosion is an extremely dangerous device to make, requiring a high level of expertise that cannot be simply self-taught or picked-up over the internet,” Wylde stated.

So, if the four British Muslim kids accused of perpetrating the London bombings didn’t learn how to do build detonators over the Internet, from whence might the expertise come?

Your writing never fails to move me, and this post in particular. Such a good heart and spirit shines through.

After the events of 7th July, I felt such empathy towards Muslims and such horror that the Government and media were using these events to not only demonise Muslims but also to push a theory of ‘collective guilt’. Not for the first time in history, create a false enemy to deflect and distract from who the real enemy is.

Yet I am not Muslim or black, I am a white working-class woman who would be classified by eagleeye’s logic as ‘part of the problem’. His/her logic would lead to believing that for instance a black working-class man or Muslim working-class woman would have more in common with the likes of Condi Rice than they would with me. Which is a sad state of affairs and one that fails to allow us to see what we have in common, which in my opinion, is class. It is on the basis of class that we are oppressed. It is on the basis of colour, race, religion and sex that we are divided. We become prey to the ignorant and the likes of the BNP, who feed off these false divisions.

If we continue to be divided we will continued to be ruled.

May I add my two bit?

Perhaps it is not possible for the white man to get over the bygone days when the British Empire rose to its pinnacle in showers of colored people’s blood. That the imperialistic genes are surging again in the white man’s veins is amply demonstrated by Prime Minister Tony Blair’s decision to tag on to the coattails of the latest Empire seeker, the USA, and the decision of his people to re-reelect him to his office giving a seal of approval to these imperialistic ventures.

The British, who now chaperon the Americans, did not massacre their subjects because they wanted to make the world safe for democracy decades later. It happened, as all imperial massacres do, in the frenzy of absolute power. It happened in the sick conviction that all colonial masters have toward their subjects–that they have the god given right to decide the course of history for them while at the same time gorging themselves on the loot from the very same subjects.

For centuries, the white man from Europe has plundered & terrorized the non-European world treating with contempt the people of different skin color, cultures, philosophies, religions, languages, and way of life. The conquered nations were expected to give up their own culture, their religions, even their languages, and convert to his set of beliefs and values that he defined as “civilized”. In the process, he tolerated no opposition. Any kind of expression of opposition was brutally suppressed. Today’s terrorist groups are like a bunch of kindergarten kids when compared to Europe’s colonial armies. Using those armies, the white man killed the people of color, and terrorized the survivors, with a careless abandon justifying it at various times by calling those killed as pagans, heathens, savages, cannibals etc.

Just one harrowing illustration of this attitude is the treatment of Aboriginal people at the turn of the 19th century. The near extermination of the Aboriginal people started with an incident near Hobart in Tasmania in 1804 when British soldiers fired on a party of Aboriginal men, women, and children. Some of the 50 or so killed that day were reported to have been salted down and sent to Sydney as anthropological curiosities.

Perhaps the worst example of white man’s contempt for people of color is the biggest human tragedy of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade. Tens of millions of Africans were exported to the Americas by Europeans and many perished before reaching the destinations. The Atlantic slave trade was a barbarity of stunning proportions.

Ironically, the white man continues to be called ‘cultured’ and the rest as ‘Pakis’, ‘hadjis’, ‘brutes’, and ‘ragheads’. This incongruity cannot be clearer than in the answer of an Indian to a taunting European settler. The Indian said, “White man, you have wiped us out, you stole our lands, you destroyed our homes, and you raped our women and brought deadly diseases to our people. You have done all the unthinkable crimes anyone can imagine. It does not hurt me any more. What truly hurts my people and me is that despite all these crimes you have committed against my people, we are considered savages and you the “civilized” people. That truly hurts me the most!”

And that, Shahid, truly hurts me the most too.

Thanks for visiting my blog. I appreciate it when people visit. If you have time, I encourage you to read other, older articles to get some perspective, but if not, that’s fine, we’re all busy nowadays.

The Popular Mechanics article has been totally rebutted with real science. It set up several strawman arguments and knocked those down. That is not science, it is evil.

Osama taking responsibility? Reference? And when you find it, if you’re lucky, let me know if a nutter claiming he is the serial killer the police are looking for is automatically guilty.

The science shows conclusively that buildings only fall like that through controlled demolition.

I work every day to get the message of Islam out, you are just not interested in it. You’d rather hear the lies of the media – or the views of the radicals. If I told you that I think everyone in the West is a fascist, just like Hitler, because he too was white, would that not be absurd?

“My frigging screen name” by the way is my real name. Please take the time to study Muslim names and Arabic and then you will see that “Shahid” has no negative connotation whatsoever. I bet you don’t even know how to pronounce my name. When you have learned it, and realise that half of your comment is baseless as a result, feel free to come back and talk like grown-ups, I welcome your input and presence.

I have seen ‘Loose Change.’ I read all about the faux-conspiracy theory. I don’t buy any of it. I am not some idiot who has to be enlightened.

Most of all, OSAMA BIN LADEN TOOK RESPONSIBILITY. If that is not proof enough, nothing is.

If you are upset about the treatment of Muslims, then work to get the message out that Islam is not terror, but most of all, change your frigging screen name so it doesn’t say “shahid,” and isn’t sympathetic with radical Islam. Because as of right now, you are part of the problem.

If you are upset about it, why not go out and demonstrate against terror, and prove that Islam does not equal terror? If you are upset about it, do something – prove that Muslims can be peaceful.

MEANWHILE, Blair never said Muslims are responsible. He said radical Muslims are responsible. Unless you are a suicide bomb loving radical Muslim, then you should not be offended.

But then again, your screen name is “Shahid,” so I suspect you do have some sympathies with radical Islam.

It’s quite comical, really. You call yourself “shahid,” which ascribes a certain sympathy with suicide bombing, and then are outraged when you are checked at airports! Oh, the horror!

Guess what? Jews are not even allowed entry into Saudi Arabia, and are treated like second class citizens or WORSE in most of the Middle East. Do I see you complaining? Hellllllz no!

It’s all “How dare they call radical Muslims what they are? I am offended! Rabble rabble rabble!”

Please, don’t make me vomit.

1) Only one image with allegedly all four of them has ever been produced. From that imagine, it is impossible to discern the identity of more than two, perhaps even one of the alleged bombers.
2) They are still suspects, even according to the police.
3) I didn’t say they were innocent
4) I saw some TV footage of a blurry tape, with no mention of 7/7, or a location, or a time, or anything other than generic nonsense. People who knew the suspects are quite clear that those people were not the people they knew in any sense of the expression.
5) There was no mention of Pakistan or Afghanistan.
6) I have not done anything
7) 9/11 was a lie – and more and more Americans as part of the truth movement now believe it. All of the buildings were destroyed by a controlled demolition, nothing else explains it.

Given the above – it is you who needs the reality check and you who needs to open your eyes. You’re deluded and asleep. I am waking up.

Thanks for visiting my blog – please do feel free to start looking into the truth, if it’s important to you. I wouldn’t be surprised if you still believed that there are WMDs in Iraq and that Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9/11

Did you not also see these “innocents” speaking in close up, very clear tapes delivered from Pakistan / Afghanistan about why they did this? …. do you believe the government has made these tapes themselves to turn everyone against Muslims in the UK?

Man you need a reality check! … you need to open your eyes and accept that you are being hassled not because of the media but because of what you “brothers” have done!

If 9/11 didnt happen them this would not all have happened! … OBL is the cause of all this with his jealousy of the West!
