dont know if this has been mentioned yet, but I was watching MSNBC today and they were interviewing an "expert" and the question that came up was regarding mosques as breading grounds for terrorists. it was pretty rediculous. They talked about bugging mosques and other stuff, they were basically stereotyping the whole religion.

99% of the people who plan to engage or who are engaging in terrorist acts against civilians nowadays are Muslim extremists. I see no problem with focusing on them or infiltrating the "Muslim world" in order to root these nutjobs out.

Maybe so, but in order to really find out what's going on, we need to win the trust of Muslims, so they're willing to help us find the terrorists in their communities.

You believe there is a 0% possibility that the government faked this and found some poor bastards to plant evidence on?

Wow... and they found a look-a-like and sound-a-like to record the "martyr tapes" that have been discovered that were meant to be broadcast after the sploidy-types sploided themselves.
Oh wait, I know!!! It was Israel... they wanted to take attention away from their battle with terrorists so they staged this... yeah, thats it...

Do you seriously think thats how it'll work? That someone in the "inner circle" of terrorist planning will be so happy that we are all buddy-buddy with him that he'll sell out to us? Most likely not. Best method? Finding one terrorist and giving him a 'vigorous interrogation', act on that information and deal with the rest of them.

That's how the people within the army say it has been working. In Afghanistan, they've relied heavily on information obtained from the locals in order to find terrorists. In order to do that, they've had to win their trust.

According to the Evening Standard newspaper I read today, the investigation was started in December after a tip-off from 'a member of the Muslim community'.
So, yes I do.

I'd say that most Muslims already picked a side on this one. The locals that are helping probably despise the Taliban, so they work with the military. Not many Taliban/Al-Qeada types are going to have some hearts and minds bullshit work to "convert" them and make them flip. Any sources that show what you are claiming actually happening?

UK Panel Asks: Why Do They Hate Airplanes?
by Scott Ott
The expert panel will examine various theories about why airplanes engender such hatred among devoted followers of a peaceful religion.
“Is it the horrendous noise? The speed? The condensation trails?” said one unnamed source close to the panel, listing some of the areas of inquiry the experts plan to pursue. “Because if it’s any of those things, we can get to work on engineering changes to make airplanes more tolerable to our Muslim brothers.”

I'm willing to wager that there will be no backlash against British Muslims for the simple reason that it was British Muslims who ultimately stopped this attack.

That's a totally safe bet for the simple reason that's there's NEVER a backlash against Muslims, British or other.
One of the very first things that happens whenever a Jihadi atrocity hits the news is a warning to guard against a "backlash". It's getting so predictable that whenever I hear warnings about "backlash" I automatically think, "Oh, fuck. What have they gone and blown up THIS time?" Strangely, the predicted backlash never occurs.
It takes almost nothing to get the Islamo-nuts out into the streets, seething and ululating -- a Piglet cup on some secretary's desk, some lame cartoons in a Danish newspaper, a Burger King graphic on an ice cream cone...
But the revelation of yet another mass murder plot by Islamic murderers? Ho hum. Not even worth the effort of sauntering down to the mosque and spray painting a few obscenities on it. Why bother? "That's just what they do, old chap. Another 'dog bites man' story. No biggie."

I agree, I always hear about this fabled backlash but it never happens. Maybe there should be a backlash and Muslims might realize there are consequences to this shit. Also, the moderate, reasonable Muslims will distance themselves from the fanatics, even helping us capture them.
Then again, we have invaded countries for such acts, so I don't know if anything will deter these fanatics.
If I had 72 virgins coming to me in the afterlife, I may do the same.

The backlashes are quite real. There were backlashes after 9-11 (including attacks on Sikhs), after Madrid, the London bombings and Theo van Gogh's murder. Just about every Al Qaeda attack on Western soil has produced some kind of backlash against the local Muslim population. Islamic terrorism in India will almost certainly produce backlashing that borderlines rioting. When 7 Nepalese contractors were killed in Iraq in 2004, one of Kathmandu's prominent mosques was burned to the ground by an angry mob. Granted, most of the time it's rarely serious. Most of it only consists of vandalism, and a portion of it seems to be misdirected towards completely different religious/ethnic groups who are mistaken as Muslim.

and so they should get backlashed,its funny how all the islamic leaders say their people arent violent but on the flip of the coin they "know our islamic youth (who leech from our countries)will retaliate and riot if we don't get our way"
