America and Europe NEED to Change Their Paradigm

Well it appears al Qaeda has made a move on the British people the past two days. A car bomb thwarted in Londonistan on Friday, unfortunately it was followed by an attack in Scotland Saturday.

European nations have huge Mohammedan immigrants of which many have bought into Islamist ideology. Granted the Mohammedan immigrants are more virulent in Europe than in America; however there are no bones about it, America will be next.

If Britain, France, Sweden, Germany were wise they would get over Western egalitarianism where it concerns radical Islamists. These kinds of Mohammedans need to be deported. Their only goal is Mohammedan domination and the practice of Sharia Law.

In case anyone is clueless to what Sharia Law entails for Western Democracies that have made freedom the hallmark of their society, Sharia Law would end that freedom. Europe has a particular problem, the EU nations have become so accustomed to protect the rights of humanity it has lost the will to protect the security of their citizens. For example EU nations tend not to deport people to nations that employ capital punishment and torture.

Do you think I am writing of America? It is true America utilizes capital punishment on the evil deserving. It is debatable as to what America uses as interrogation tactics in relation to torture. But I am telling you capital punishment and torture are embedded politically and religiously in Mohammedan dominated nations – friend and foe alike to America and the EU.

During WWII America interned people of Japanese ancestry – many were citizens and some were legal resident aliens. I personally was abhorred about this point in our history. Now I understand the mentality. During war it is safer to err on the side of security than Liberty. If you are on the winning side, more civilians live than die with this frame of thought.

If Britain was attacked be assured America will be next. Is America going to stand as radical Islamist immigrants and their naturalized citizen offspring begin to pick off brutally Americans that stand by our Heritage of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness? Sharia Law will end that Heritage. Slipping into Appeasement and allowing enclaves of Sharia Law will also erode our Heritage, just on a slower scale.

If America decides for victory at all costs this means the unconditional surrender of Her enemies. Germany and Japan made discovered that fate in WWII; our latest enemies deserve our passion for victory.

Police Arrrest 2 More in Connection With London, Scotland Terror Incidents

GLASGOW, Scotland —

Three terrorist suspects were in police custody Sunday — and a fourth man under guard in hospital — following attacks that saw a flaming jeep crash into a Scottish airport and two car bomb plots foiled in central London.

Scotland Yard said two people had been arrested in Cheshire, a county in northern England, in a joint swoop by specialist officers from London and Birmingham.

In Scotland, officers arrested two men — one of them on fire — after a Jeep Cherokee rammed into Glasgow airport and burst into flames.

The green SUV shattered glass doors at the terminal entrance, stopping within meters of where holidaymakers were lined up at check-in counters.

Police and security officials said the attacks were clearly linked, adding all three vehicles had carried large amounts of flammable materials — including gasoline and gas cylinders.

The chaos over the past two days has raised fears that the type of car bomb attacks that have become commonplace in Iraq has now reached European shores. Late Saturday, Britain raised its security alert level to critical — the highest possible level, indicating terror attacks may be imminent.

Police foiled a car bomb plot early Friday in central London, discovering explosives packed into a Mercedes outside a nightclub near Piccadilly Circus and another car parked nearby.

Glasgow police chief Willie Rae announced the incidents were connected and said a suspect device had been found on a man wrestled to the ground by officers and hospitalized in critical condition with severe burns.

"We believe the incident at Glasgow airport is linked to the events in London yesterday," Rae said. "There are clearly similarities and we can confirm that this is being treated as a terrorist incident."

British Broadcasting Corp. television reported, without citing sources, that the man was wearing a suicide belt and that police had found propane gas cylinders in the Glasgow Jeep.

Rae would not say whether the device found on the suspect was a suicide belt, and made no mention of gas cylinders. However, British security officials said evidence pointed toward the Glasgow attack being a suicide mission.

London police said the latest arrests were in connection with both attacks, but did not elaborate. Officials declined to say if those arrested were men or women, or whether either suspect was a figure seen running from one of the explosive laden cars dumped in London.

The new terror threat presents Prime Minister Gordon Brown with an enormous challenge just three days after taking office, and comes at a time of already heightened vigilance one week before the anniversary of the July 7 London transit attacks.

The previous round of terrorist activity in Britain, in July 2005, was largely carried out by local Muslims, raising ethnic tensions in Britain.

"I know that the British people will stand together, united, resolute and strong," Brown said Saturday in a televised statement. He defended raising the alert level, which has not been at critical since the August 2006 plot to blow up several trans-Atlantic flights was discovered and made public.

The green Jeep barreled toward Glasgow's main airport terminal shortly after 3 p.m., hitting security barriers before crashing into the glass doors and erupting into an orange fireball, witnesses said.

Police wrestled the driver and a passenger, both described by witnesses as South Asian, to the ground, arresting them and taking one to the hospital. Witnesses said one of the men was engulfed in flames and spoke "gibberish" as an official used a fire extinguisher to douse the fire.

Glasgow police spokeswoman Elisa Dunn said five bystanders were treated for injuries, and one was hospitalized with a leg injury. Scottish airline authorities said around 2,500 passengers had been evacuated from the airport.

"The car came speeding past," said witness Scott Leeson. "Then the driver swerved the car around so he could ram straight in to the door. He must have been trying to smash straight through."

Passengers fled running and screaming from the busy terminal, witness Margaret Hughes told the British Broadcasting Corp. "There was black smoke gushing out where the car had obviously been driven into the airport," she said.

The airport — Scotland's largest — was evacuated and all flights suspended. Flames and black smoke could be seen rising from the jeep outside the main entrance. Police said Liverpool Airport and roads around Edinburgh were also closed.

The attack left passengers shaken and stranded on the first day of summer vacation for Glasgow schools. All flights from the airport were suspended. At the time of the crash, the airport was bustling with families heading out on holiday.

Meanwhile in London, police prepared to question the two suspects arrested in northern England.

Officers were also reviewing closed-circuit television evidence, as forensics experts searched for clues into the foiled bombings. The two Mercedes cars had been loaded with gasoline, gas canisters and nails in one of the capital's busiest areas on a night when Londoners like to go out and party. Security officials and police denied a U.S. news report that they had a "crystal clear" picture of one suspect from CCTV footage.

The vehicles were found abandoned in the early hours of Friday in what police believe was an attempt to kill scores or even hundreds of people. Detectives said they were keeping an open mind about who the bombers were, but terrorism experts said the signs pointed to a cell linked to or inspired by al-Qaida.

One car was abandoned outside the Tiger Tiger nightclub on Haymarket, a busy street of shops, clubs, theaters and restaurants just a short walk from Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus.

The other had been towed after being parked illegally on nearby Cockspur Street and was discovered in an impound lot about a mile (1.5 kilometers) away in Park Lane, near Hyde Park.

One former top British security official said terrorists appeared to be trying to take advantage of the inexperience of the new government.

"This is a very young government, and we may yet see further attacks. ... We are seeing a pattern of attack in the early days of a new government," Dame Pauline Neville-Jones, former head of Britain's joint intelligence committee, told Sky News television.

U.S. President George W. Bush was being kept informed of the situation, the White House said. "We're in contact with British authorities on the matter," said Gordon Johndroe, a spokesman for the National Security Council, in Washington.

A British government security official said methods used in the airport attack and Friday's thwarted plots in London were similar, with all three vehicles carrying large quantities of flammable materials.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information.

He said it was too early to be sure whether the suspects had been aided from overseas, but that officials would investigate international links.

Police did not say whether the SUV that struck the airport was carrying explosives, but one witness reported seeing a gas canister in the vehicle.

Witness Lynsey McBean said one of the men took out a plastic gasoline canister and poured a liquid under the car. "He then set light to it," said Bean, 26, from Scotland. She said the Jeep struck the front door of the airport but got jammed.

"They were obviously trying to get it further inside the airport as the wheels were spinning and smoke was coming from them," she said.

The Jeep struck the building directly in front of check-in desks, where dozens of passengers were lined up, police said.

Leeson said bollards — security posts outside the entrance — stopped the driver from barreling into the bustling terminal. "If he'd got through, he'd have killed hundreds, obviously," he said.

The incident carried reminders of a foiled plot in December 1999 to attack Los Angeles International Airport, when customs agents stopped an Algerian-born man in a car packed with 124 pounds (56 kilograms) of explosives. He was jailed for 22 years, and prosecutors said he was intent on bombing the Los Angeles airport on the eve of the millennium.

The events also hold similarities to recent thwarted plots in Britain. Last year, a 35-year-old British convert to Islam was convicted of plotting to bomb several U.S. financial targets and luxury London hotels, using limousines packed with gas tanks, napalm and nails.

Accused members of an al-Qaida-linked terror cell were convicted in April of plotting to blow up the Ministry of Sound nightclub in 2004, one of London's biggest music venues.

Glasgow airport is Britain's sixth largest, handling 8.9 million passengers a year. More than 40 airlines fly from Glasgow to more than 80 destinations, including cities in Spain, Canada, Germany, the U.S., Greece and Portugal.

London police said extra officers were being deployed across the capital Sunday and had been ordered to step up the use of stop-and-search powers.

Security has been increased at landmarks in the capital, airports, train stations and bus terminals, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement. Armed police would patrol at major rail stations, it said.

At least 450 officers would monitor a rock concert at London's Wembley Stadium on Sunday to mark the 10th anniversary of the death of Princess Diana, police said.
