It would be helpful to know who, when, where, how and why but only if he agrees to co operate. I’d hate to think the State would violate his privacy by digging around his personal effects.

My favorite part of the AFP story;

“Both Melville and Otter said it was too early to determine the motive behind the incident.”

So we have a classic author and a character on National Lampoons ‘Animal House’ agreeing that they are clueless? Priceless…

And yet such sparkling intellects as Joe Biden in today’s WSJ continue to make claims that George W Bush’s foreign policy has caused jihadist recruiting to skyrocket, making al Qaida stronger than ever this year? After reading Joe Lieberman yesterday lament his former party’s loss of testicular fortitude, and the confirmation of said neutering in today’s WSJ by Joe Biden, I am just so highly amused by Dhimmicrats opening of their big fat mouths, and then proceeding to place their size 14 feet up to the knees into it.

The Jihad lurches ineptly along. With holy soldiers like these numbnuts, who honestly believes radical Islam will eventually win their caliphate, unless we in the West simply give up and fail to oppose them? I’m constantly amazed by the confused logic Dhimmicrats use to make radical Islam ten feet tall and bulletproof while claiming we are impotent in the face of their vast numbers.

What BS.

London = Exeter? The two cities are more than 150 miles away!

Still, glad that only the scumbag Islamist was injured.

Exeter is one of the last places we, in the UK, would expect to be a terrorist target. So whilst this latest episode does highlight the breathtaking incompetence of the jihadis it is an unwelcome development.

This was about as much of an attack on London as a bomb in Providence, Rhode Island would be an attack on New York. Exeter is about as far west from London as you can get without leaving the British mainland. There is a serious point as it usually IS London which gets targeted by terrorists. Exeter is one of the last places we, in the UK, would expect to be a terrorist target. So whilst this latest episode does highlight the breathtaking incompetence of the jihadis it is an unwelcome development.

…jihadists in Britain have reached the bottom of the barrel.

I blame Bush!

Er, no, he doesn’t get credit, he just gets blame. Sorry.

“their resources appear to get thinner and thinner, which shows that radical and violent jihad may have lost its luster as much in Europe as it has in Iraq.”

Wrong. To paraphrase the great Mark Steyn, why attack your enemy by flying commercial jets into tall, glass skyscrapers, when your enemy will be perfectly willing to hand over the keys to the skyscrapers voluntarily in a decade or so?

I’m not sure I would minimize this. You don’t need too much intelligence to do a suicide bombing. And if you have a supply of sickos, some of them will succeed, even if they do not all.

… Nicky Reilly, a man with a history of mental illness.

If he’s a convert to islam, I predict a *future* of mental illness too.

Converts. The Janissary Corps of the 21st century.

And yet, people keep telling me that these people are the biggest threat to western civilization, like since forever. At one time, I held that viewpoint. It gets harder to justify with every botched attack.

“We believe, despite his weak and vulnerable state, he was preyed upon, radicalised and taken advantage of,” he said.

Who took advantage of him? How was he radicalized and by whom? Eventually, these guys will get lucky and there’ll be dozens dead. Or worse. Again. The one thing we can never forget with this conflict is we can never, ever, even for one second, take it lightly. We must forego no advantage, exploit every opportunity and make their war not only unwinnable, but unfightable.

There are no radicals or extremists, there are only the followers of Islam. There are no hijackers of a noble religion , there has been no misinterpretations of Islamic scripture,

Please stop defending Islam by tying to qualify it as something that has been run away with by outsiders with tenuous backing. There is only the peace of the grave in Islam.

I would feel silly talking about how many suicide bombers the religion of peace can produce per annum.

Now that’s GDP. Gross Demolishing Product
