Terror Plot Foiled

What we should do with these 21 scum buckets is simple, get what information we need out of them, then ship them off for a holiday to Cuba in a nice place called camp X-ray, let the Americans have some fun with them. I don't want my tax mnoey going to waste keeping these idiots in our cushy prisons. :mad:

Yes, because camp x-ray isnt contentious at all.....

Im Indian and I have a Muslim sounding name. But I dont believe in any religion. But I would have been stopped from flying under those measures. On which members of my community am I supposed to turn my anger on? The obvious choice would be the dimwits who put such a measure into place.

I didn't suggest it, and I don't think the tactic would be of value. My comment was more for the benefit of the apologists who often seem to only ever blame their own culture for terrorism...

Do you not see camp x-ray as part of the problem, rather than part of the solution?

No, it will show that we take a tough stance on the situation rather than being "soft" as we are seen now. We can't do anything like they probably do at camp x ray incase it infringes on thier human rights. :rolleyes:

Only an apologist who wishes to base their attitudes and behaviour on the whim of violent would arbitrarily accept that as true...

So you think its ok for a country to lock up its citizens without trial?

Anything done will be used as fuel for the next generation to "take revenge" on the western countries - whether it is imprisoning them in a 5-star hotel or camp x-ray.

There's no negotiating with extremists, because they believe their way is the only way.

So yes, stick them in camp x-ray or even better off the plane without a parachute after it is proven without doubt that they were involved.
 
Update:
DUBAI, Aug 10 (Reuters) - An attempt to hijack a Qatar Airways flight was foiled on Thursday, Qatar-based Al Jazeera television reported.

The news channel said the flight was heading to the Qatari capital Doha from Jordan's capital, Amman.

It may seem racist (it's meant to be practical) but I can't understand why the powers that be didn't ban all people of "indian" appearance and all people with muslim names from flying for a few days.

There would have been virtually no delays, only a small section of travellers would have been inconvenienced instead of everybody, and innocent muslim travelers would hopefully have realised that these problems stem from within their section of the community and it would be in their best interests to assist in stopping this sort of radicalism in future

... you really are a moron.

When the IRA was bombing things, you would think it right to ban all Irish people from Hotels, shops, nightclubs, pubs (as these were all examples of places that got bombed).

I have a slight indian look, not Muslim, no relatives that are Muslims (or friends) and don't have a Muslim name at all, but it sounds "a bit foreign" and i pretty much don't like religion at all, but still under your "proposal" i could still be classed as a high risk passenger.

Banning people that appear "indian". Wtf has india got to do with this?! Not only are you offending Muslims with this statement, you are also offending anyone who has an slightly asian look.

With that kind of attitude, you are one of the problems of Britain.

Whether I think this or not is irrelevent, I do not believe it is appropriate to adjust attitudes and behaviour in response to the threat of violence... nor that violence is a legitimate recourse for disatistfaction, so cannot immediately link the idea of discontent amongst Islamic Nationalists to adopting terrorism.

Also also believe that violence is as easily combatted with overwhelming resistence as it is with subserviance...

What other rationale is there then?

I suppose a dead terrorist is one less terrorist.

But the govt. would have us believe they are endemic and the news would have us believe that they are increasing in number.

Insisting that I'm project anything, or that I should desist in doing so, in light of the posts that you have made in this thread, smacks of hypocrisy.

lol. lets leave the chilidish "moron" insults at school shall we?

I am not talking about banning an entire population from every location. Just a limited number of people from a specific location for a specific period of time

And in fact if there was such an occasion during the IRA troubles as a credible threat that irish nationals were threatening to bomb planes from british airports within the next 48 hours, then I would certainly have supported flying restrictions for holders of irish passports for a limited time....woudn't you? Would you really risk the lives of numerous innocent passengers simply to protect the rights of a few plane loads of disgruntled passengers from one particular country as opposed to disrupting the travel plans for tens of thousands of people worldwide

As for the "indian" statement it was quite obviously was referring to people from the sub-continent/non european (i.e that population from which, let's face it,muslim terrorists tend to be drawn based on historical evidence) , not India in particular, and I am surprised you could not draw the distinction yourself.

How is the poster projecting attitudes onto others? :confused:

He is stating his view of things as are you. By that statement you are trying to project your attitudes on the poster....

Banning people from an airport/flights is not the same as banning them from one place or the other like a club or hotel.
