Glasgow airport attacked by Jeep on fire - 2 arrested

[Orang Utan]

That's useful.

Well your earthshattering observation is hardly helpful either. I suggest you do a little reading on the aims of Islamic terrorists and you'll find that you assertion is a bit wrongheaded.

What I want to know is, if people hate it here so much that they want to blow us all up, why don't they go somewhere they like? It's a big world.

Oooh I imagine they were refused visas for Australia. It's the only possible explanation.

Glasgow Car Bombing

2 Men have just attempted to ram a burning jeep into Glasgow Airport.
Links to London yesterday? No idea.
The airport's closed for the foreseeable future so better make alternate plans if you're travelling. Might be some disruption all over.

It's a war. We started it.

in 2003 right? or the Crusades

It's a clash of religious ideology and western values stoked by various wars and acts of terror imo.

Not sure it has a 'start' date.

No we didn't! Bush and Blair/Brown did in our name.

These AQ supporters are playing right into their hands too.

On the plus side, assuming this was an attempt to attack the airport and the London cars were bombs, they are thankfully completely incompetent at killing civilians. Unlike Bush and Blair/Brown.

1948.

Glad you think it is so hilarious. Think about it, jeep rammed into a packed departures hall, lots and lots of deaths.

1948.

What? When Ozzy Osborne was born or Israel created?

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

This is worrying because I can see Manchester airport from my window. Makes you think.

I'm supposed to be flying from Manchester in a week's time

The last sentence is the key. Our governments are democratically elected, and they *are* killing civilians--hundreds of thousands of them. I can see how our victims might not shed too many tears over car-bombs in London or Glasgow.

No it didn't, really it didn't. Jeep on fire gets stuck in door, possible would be terrorist gets burnt and arrested.

There's dozens of airports in the UK. What makes you think Manchester will be one of them?

 

[SonOfGoatboy]

Too slow again! Curses.

Islamic Fundamentalism didn't start in 2003 ffs

Those two haven't exactly helped matters though

They're not attacking us because they're fundamentalists. They're attacking us because... WE ATTACKED THEM.

Do people really go round Highland jigging all the time in Scotland? I thought it was just simplistic stereotyping ...

Please re-read my post.

I was responding to Chio's post in which he observed that he has a view of Manchester airport from where he lives.

He said:

Glasgow airport attacked... there may possibly be a plot to attack airport(s)... Manchester has an airport... which Chio can see... which worries him... makes him think... makes me think... hmmm... I'll be flying out of Manchester airport next week.

Do I really need to make more of an effort to join the dots for you?

When did this happen? I only seen a comedy fuck up attack that hurt no one.

Some of the 7/7 bombers were committed Jihadi's way before 2003. Since the late 1990s in fact.

So until we find out when these people were radicalised and what their motivation was, which is bound to be complex, you simply can't say that with such confidence.

I didnt attack them.

There IS no point in worrying though

Yes, because the majority of people in the UK vote in elections because our "democracy" really is democratic and does what we tell it too, like how we wanted ID cards, and how we wanted to invade Iraq. Not to mention the overwhelming support Bush had from the American people and their completely secure and tamperproof networks of electronic voting booths.

Serious question: Prior to the UK attacking afghanistan/Iraq remind me again-how many times has the UK been attacked by Islamic Terrorists?

 

[Grandma Death]

Are you sure?

If the British and American peoples are truly concerned about the genocide being committed in their names, they've had (and rejected) several chances to stop it.
