Ah yes , the wonders of diversity make themselves all too abundantly clear once again ... thank god it was found before a couple hundred people got injured or killed .

These Islamic extremists are equal to the KKK or Black Panthers with these kind of tactics. They must be stopped.

I say we should help the British find the Islamic terrorists who are behing this and snuff them as an example to the others seeking to harm innocent people.

I hope when they arrested this guy they beat him within an inch of his life,rinse and repeat. I cann't believe I feel the way I do. 2 years ago I was a peaceful democrat, today I am a right wing fanatic that wants to erase these people from the history books. Hows that for submission Islam?

"Islamic Extremists" again, huh? BIG surprise there. Will we hear from the moderate Islamists? Will they stand up and defend the TRUE meaning of their religion and admonish those who drag Islam and Allah through the mud?

There is a person who was under house arrest who disappeared two weeks ago.

Must be him

Surely not something like this from the religion of peace!

"I have been made victorious with terror"

Can anyone guess who said this? Google is your friend.

The moderate Islamists will not denounce this type of action by Islamic Extremists.. So they must be part of the problem.. Maybe some one should start knocking Extremist Islamist off? And see how they like it then.. Fight fire with fire..

To Arizona Mike: These Islamic extremists are equal to the Bush Administration not the Black Panthers.

It is one thing to want to kill all of the terrorists that were/are trying to attack us. It is quite another thing to divert our ENTIRE military into a country that never had any ties to attacking us, thereby taking away most of our resources in tracking down the real terrorists.

Even if you are mad, you must keep your mind clear enough to make rational decisions.

Yeah, thanks for printing this story. Now the next time the terrorists will wear masks to hide their ID -- brilliant!

Ah yes, the Peaceful Religion.

Too bad the brits cant defend themsleves. Note to USA, first get rid of Radical Islam, THEN ban all the guns.. not the other way around..

Why do all of this police work? Kerry suggested that terrorism was a police issue and he was belittled by Bush. Hey George, instead of arresting the bombers and their cell, who do we bomb??

Maybe 'we can't all get along.' If Extremist are 'unhappy' living in the West ..... than GO BACK HOME. We don't need you ..... we don't want you .... truthfully we really don't want to learn anything about you or your religion.....or ANY religion! Good-bye!

Anyone who thinks we aren't in the middle of WW III is out of their mind.

What is it going to take to get BUSH out of office. They prove us wrong every step of the way. We need to bring the troops home. and take the people that aren't suppose to be here send them back to their country and stay there. Enough is a enough. If Bush is so right then prove it but, it on the evening news. if his plan is right then the troops would stop being killed, gas price would go down, The American Farmers could feed their cows. We could make ends meet at the grocery store. Just stop all of this. Every day the terriost win, if not by killing, by running prices up, Stand together America get BUSH out of office. We were going to impeach Clinton. NOBODY DIED for what he did and you could buy things. THINK ABOUT IT PEOPLE. WE HAVE THE POWER.

Moslems are laughing their heads off. They know they can take down "the West" through the Trojan Horse of immigration. France and Germany are already "Eurabia". I am positive that all the leftist multiculturalists in Europe and America look forward to the day when Sharia law will be killing lesbians and homosexuals, chopping off the hands of thieves...I can't wait to see how welcoming Islamic governments in England, USA, France, etc. will be toward Gay Pride paraders. Get ready, America, we have already been invaded.

Indeed thank goodness it was spotted before anyone was hurt. In response a2fly, can't really compare either kkk or the black panthers, for if the kkk were equal to those 'Islamic Extremist', they would have been snuffed out a while ago by authorities, and the black panthers promoted civil rights and self defense. For god sakes learn your history and facts.

Fight fire with fire.. Drive a nail gun into his head

Ah yes, the religion of peace.

Let's not forget the rein of terror by the IRA......they were a good match for these murderous thugs.

Back to bomb school for the Islamic terrorist graduates of two weeks ago. They failed their first big test.

Allah is displeased.

A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged. How many times will it take the Brits getting mugged before they get the concept through their thick skulls. The best thing that happened to me was that my grandparents got on the boat back in the 1800s and came to the US through Canada from Britain. This multi-culturalism is an abomination. We have some work to do on the topic state-side too. All the cultures have something positive to add to the pot luck supper of life. But when you allow them to stand in isolation and not integrate into the larger society, you are going to have a big time problem.

The debacle in Iraq has shown that the West is unwilling to stand up for itself or its values. Western Europe is a ripe target for terrorism. I won't be taking any vacations there.

But wait, isn't Islam the Religion of Peace?

I'm confused.

Where is Osama bin Laden?
Why has Bush stopped the hunt?

You would think moderate Muslims would be upset that their religion has been hi-jacked by these extremmists and do something to counter their efforts .....unless,of course, they agree with them?
History records the Islamic faith birthed with the sword (convert or die) and has given rise to death, destruction and destitution. I doubt we will see any sort of "rising up" occur.

dont mention the m word,

Charlie Gibson, did not have to cut into programming of news in London. This does not concern the US at this time. This could have done on the evening news.

i Think its odd that mere days after Blair leaves, this new PM is given 2 failed car bombs to boost his image. These cars were basically handed to authorities. There's either something bigger going to happen or a government conspiracy to make the new PM look good.

The reason that we can't help them "find" the terrorists is that we suck at it. We can't even stop 3 large planes from flying into our buildings, so I don't think they want or need our help. Maybe the TSA will start searching our cars, or making us take off all our clothes at the airport. Britain is doing just fine without out so called "help". Maybe the Brits understanding of diversity actually helps them stop terrorists, rather than in the US where they can do whatever they want.

Back to bomb school for the first graduating class of Islamic terrorists for more training. They flunked their first test. Allah is displeased at the lack of deaths.

This is all President Bush's fault. And the War on Terror is just a bumper sticker slogan, right? And if we surrender in Iraq the terrorists will not follow us here, right?

Wake up America! The war is here and now. The Democratic head-in-the-sand approach to winning the war is not going to work. Awake from your slumber my friends, we are next.

We have to realize that while we try to avoid discriminating on the basis of religion, and bend over backwards to avoid "hurting" muslims' feelings, there are others who are out to destroy us because of our religion and culture. Perhaps if moderate muslims were inconvenienced now and then, they might speak out more against their extreme brethren. So stop whining about racial or religious profiling, it is the only way that we will stop these beasts

My God the US and British are hopelessly backwards when it comes to anti-terrorism. It seems any fool with a chip on his shoulder is capable of coming into our repsective countries and commiting mass murder. God help us all...

When will we learn that they don't care of you are a man or women, conservative or liberal. They want us all dead. Not only in the UK, but the US too and any other western country. They are equal opportunity murderers!

These guys are given 7? virgins when they get there, right?
they need to be stop, someone please, tell them, they are not getting anywhere, down in the ground 7 feet under, i say.

Wonder what Johnny Edwards would call this since there is no such thing as a "war on terror"?

Don't worry al Qaeda, the liberals in America are sending reinforcements from Gitmo as soon as they can get the detainees sprung from their cells.

I'm all for human rights but this has got to stop. So when he is captured are we going to be worried that his rights are protected? What say you, I really want to know.

I believe we should put our soldiers where they need to be and where they can hopefully stop these extremists from coming here.

Glad they stopped it. Remember that the Brits lived with radical Irish Catholic terrorists setting off bombs for decades. They know what they are doing.

I was in London in 1999 when the IRA blew up a pub - it was nasty business.

Coming to the US with Open Borders, folks! Islamofascists will not stop until their religion takes over all others.

Find the dirt bags and execute them in Trafalger Square, ASAP.

Can we say INSIDE JOB

With all that has happened and is happening, I'm in awe as to why Middle Eastern people are even allowed to enter England, or the U.S. for that matter. Its past time to stop this nonsense.

"Officials say the cell phones failed to initiate the explosions, even after each phone had been called twice."

Thank God.

Hmmm,

Another failed plot.

I am so terrorized.

The problem with Al Queda is that they're a bunch of morons who can't even pull off a decent attack.

Allah? Pffftttttttt.

If that's all their "god" can pull off, I'd say the battle is won.

Umm, just one silly question... how do you know that they are "Islamic Extremists"? They just mention it in the headline with absolutely no explanation. My guess is an "Official Source"... or maybe the guy in the "Crystal Clear" picture was wearing a "Jihad 4Ever" T-Shirt"

pLEASE SUPPORT ISRAEL WHO IS AT THE FORFRONT OF FIGHTING THESE HATERS OF US

I'm all for human rights but this has got to stop. So when he is captured are we going to be worried that his rights are protected? What say you, I really want to know.

I believe we should put our soldiers where they need to be and where they can hopefully stop these extremists from coming here. Isn't that supposed to be the reason for any war--protecting our freedom. We should be in Afghanistan.

Islam obviously needs a reformation. Britain has given these jerks chances they could only dream about in their parents' home countries, and they want to kill everyone.

keep your gods out my nightclubs

Apparently the terrorists must use AT+T for their cell service.

Hundreds of civilians in London almost killed by terrorists, and the snide take the opportunity to criticize Bush.

Clever little ones. Of course George Bush is more evil than the terrorist who would do such a thing. Of course he is responsible.

That's why they didn't attack the twin towers until America attacked them.

And, of course the terrorists will leave you alone if you would only leave them alone. Ask Spain.

I really cannot understand you people.

Sons of Chamberlin, all.

The war on terror.......and the dems call that a "Slogan" I now have 1 more reason to vote for the party that has been on the offensive rather than the defensive......Go W Go Tony..

Ah yes, the religion of peace.

The idiots at Dailykos are either ignoring the story or blaming MI5 and the CIA. They're not even able to bring themselves to acknowledge a truly ugly plot - gas bombs and nails - nails - to explode before a nightclub, a cafe, a stadium, where ever and whoever. But, no, the left, that we afford so much dangerous idiocy maintain it's probably Bush or Blair and policy in Iraq that leads a man to load a car with gas, propane and nails and park before a dance club. The Dailykos kids either rationalize such hideous violence or excuse such hideous violence. It should make one wonder what violence of their own they could rationalize being so gifted at empathizing with the motives of others. These idiots are truly dangerous.

Terrorist in London? Call Bush/Cheney to invade London so we can fight them there before they come over here!

I keep hearing that Islam seeks to convert or exterminate everyone who is not already a muslim. Therefore the logic is pretty straightforward. If the statement is true, then obviously the religion and western society are incompatable. Either denounce Islam or leave. If the statement is false every islamic cleric in the west should be required to denounce the statement as false loudly and publicly. If they refuse they should leave.

To Chris - Oh yea, it's George Bush's fault. Your contribution really helps.......
Whht a flaming liberal.

What makes people think Islam has anything to do with this? Look at the political situation. Look at what the British military has done in Iraq. How is that not terrorism?

Cause and effect people.

yes, what a coinsendnce that Bush visited the islamic sociaty yesterday. The more we appies hem the more ambsious they become. send them home where they came from. they can go and start kiling themself over their. The Austlaian PM is absolutly right, if they can not live with us with our civile way the doors are wide open.

You can call these Islamic terrorists morons and incompetents all you want, but the fact is we have to get it right EVERY time. They only have to get it right ONCE.

The comment about the Black Panthers...I do not recall the Black Panthers using terroristic tactics when they were fighting for equality, which by the way still does not exist.

Qur'an:9:5 "Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.

"Officials say the cell phones failed to initiate the explosions, even after each phone had been called twice."

Hi ... you've reached Achmed. I'm either on Jihad, or on holiday in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Please leave a message and I'll get back to you right after I'm done with the last of my 72 virgins. Allllallahahauhueueueuuuuuu Ackbar.

Wait...
I thought the war in Iraq was going to prevent all this by "fighting them over there instead of over here"

I think we need another Hiroshima to let these individuals know that we are tired of playing cat and mouse. You give them 30 days to disband and disarm. Once the 30 days have pasted and nothing happens you drop an invitation (nuke). Give them another 10 days and if they don't comply drop another one. And so on. People tend to change their attitudes when they understand the consequence of their actions, especially when the consequence amounts to more than a slap on the butt and a stern warning.

To the inbred yokel who invoked the Black Panthers, when was the last time you saw them engaged in terrorist activity? The most they did was fight white supremacy in the 60s, which most of us reasoned white Americans were in complete agreement with. And kindly stop asking for everyday Muslims to apologize for this, unless of course you're willing to apologize for the carnage in Iraq.

"I hope when they arrested this guy they beat him within an inch of his life,rinse and repeat."

In England? They'll feed him tea and crumpets and send him on his merry way after detaining hom only a couple of days to a couple of months.

"What makes people think Islam has anything to do with this?"

I agree. Look at the guys white shirt. He's oviously Amish. Or one of those Mthodist seperatists.

"Look at the political situation. Look at what the British military has done in Iraq. How is that not terrorism?"

Build schools, provide security for the Iraqi people so that they can go on with their business without getting killed by terrorists, provide medical care for Irai citizens, etc., etc. I agree, how is building schools not terrorism?

"And kindly stop asking for everyday Muslims to apologize for this, unless of course you're willing to apologize for the carnage in Iraq."

Why should anyone apologize for the muslim carnage in Iraq?

Darn that pesky Religion of Peace.

The War in Iraq was a greater act of "terrorism" than September 11th and all the other terrorist attacks combined.

Appeasing evil never ever gets us less evil. Appeasing evil always gets us more evil.

Not one Islamic terrorist attack against the United States until the USA sent troops to Beirut in 1982 and started meddling in Middle Eastern affairs.

I am tired of people complaining about us "attacking" a country (Iraq) that did not attack us.

Remember WWII - we declared WAR and ATTACKED both Italy and Germany after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.

Stop bashing the only country and president willing to stand up to these people.

The bigotry expressed in the comments on this site is simply ASTOUNDING, but not surprising.

Yes, terrorists and extremists are bad. This incident is bad and authorities must figure out how to stop incidents such as this.

No, this has nothing to do with "diversity." (first comment) Where does that leave Timothy McVeigh???

No, black panthers were not the racial opposites of KKK. (Second or so comment.) Look it up.

Tough to expect anything but racism from a country that had to send in the military so black kids could go to University in the 1960s

How long before democrats and the ACLU send lawyers over to England to defend these terrorist. I think the democrats / ACLU can spare some of the 4000 lawyers they have sent down to Gitmo. BTW Black Panthers blowing a white judges head off with a shotgun isnt terrorism is it???

thank god no one was killed, we all need to open our eyes and see that this is not going to get any better. This is a real threat that has to be dealt with. These extremists are NOT going to just slowly forget about this. We need to unit as a counrty, open our eyes to the big picture and fight these losers on their turf. they must fear us or be removed, that is the only ways this will come to an end.

"Not one Islamic terrorist attack against the United States until the USA sent troops to Beirut in 1982 and started meddling in Middle Eastern affairs." Charles

Not true. I was working in DC for the feds in March 1977 when Muslim extremists attacked several buildings, shot and killed a guy, shot the mayor, and held people hostage for several days. My calendar tells me that was before 1982. Your facts are not facts.

Do any of you brainiacs watch the news? The U.S. and NATO have killed more civilians in Iraq this year than the TALIBAN. The U.S. and Britain lied us into a war in Iraq and have killed tens of thousands of civilians. And our tax dollars buy the bullets and bombs raining down on the heads of civilians in Lebanon, Gaza, and the West Bank. When you spend decades propping up violent oppressive dictators in the Middle East, invade and massacre children, and send billions of dollars and weapons to a nation that is the Apartheid regime of the Middle East, tell me how exactly do you think the people there will respond? We have spent decades creating the hatred and anger, by our actions; and then we also send money and weapons and help supply training to the same people who now run Al-Qaida. If you have a brain cell in your head, you can understand that those actions have reactions, and if you make excuses and justify that history, then fine, but don't bitch about the consequences. You want our troops deployed where they can do the most good in helping to stop these religious fanatics? The answer is obvious -- deploy them HOME. That'd be a good start.

What if the british government would decide to hire and arm the now retired and unarmed IRA just to take care of this extremist islamic terrorists business, after all, they know a few things about terrorism in great britain, I'm sure the islamic terrorists would have their arms full in no time, then just pay and disarm the IRA, well, thinking about it, not sure if it would be that easy :)

I am not terrorized by these radical Islamists, I'm offended.

hello from london, i surfed to this site, because this particular piece of news has not been reported in the uk. having done that, i must say that i'm a bit taken aback by the strong reaction among people so ge
