Terrorists hold no religion .. i dont understand why would most of the people associate such farce with religion at all ..no religion preaches hatred .. those who do such acts of terrorism represent no religion .. they're extremists or fundamentalists but not religious .. its time we teach such morons to behave .. but in a tactical manner keeping all other aspects aside ..a criminal is a criminal for the crime he commits ..a sinner is a sinner for the sins .. here in saudi arabia ..being a muslim myself have seen other brothers of faith being tortured and maltreated only because some of the arabs think they're superior to the third world citizens .. the psyche of such people isnt influenced by religion ..its what i call an ulterior motive to establish superiority by political power .. those fools are extremists in that sense of false pride .. sorry if i said anything wrong ..i dont intend to stand for these culprits .. since they're not practicing muslims .. a true believer of any religion would never harm anyone with such intentions ..however im glad to know a disaster is well averted

These people hate America. They don't want to integrate, they want to create their own Muslim world in America. Take a look at Europe...
why so much hatred against Islam ? .. how could u say muslims hate america ? .. i grew up watching cartoons, movies, television soaps and a whole lot of entertainment produced by the west .. and i'd love to travel across not just America but the whole of gods green earth .. definitely not preaching my religious beliefs .. however nobody can ever change or establish power on their will, without the will of god .. if he wished, the world wouldnt had people with differences of opinions in the first place ..let alone a particular religious belief .. instead of thrashing one another in the name of religion or political crap .. its time we work as a team to uproot this evil with a clear plan .. not with hatred or animosity but with peace and tranquility .. as for europe i believe its economy is still a lot better than the rest of the world .. everybody has a share of its churn .. anyways ..i can go on and on being a majority big mouth .. im done with enough input on your comments. take care .

Default Shahzad Faisal on No-Fly List?

Several TV news shows mentioned Shahzad Faisal, a U.S. National of Pakistani descent was on the no-fly list.

Did anyone else hear this? I have not found print confirmation, and would actually prefer to be wrong, I hate to think Homeland Security is allowing people on the no-fly list to live in this country.

No government program or technology stopped this - the bomber's own ineptitude stopped it.

I must say I'm surprised. I thought for sure, particularly after Bloomberg's comments, that it was one of those tea party people like these:

I was disappointed to not see people taking that bait. I thought for sure there would be no shortage of them on here; unless I missed that thread or something. You know they were all wishing it was that, though, and the media would've been all over it.

Default Faisal Shahzad Almost Got Away

Times Square Car Bomb Suspect Faisal Shahzad Arrested, Almost Got Away on Flight - ABC News

Quote:
"He appeared real close to getting away," one federal official said.

Authorities said that despite the manhunt, his passport had not been flagged and he was able to buy a ticket with cash and clear airport security.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, while refusing to criticize any agency Tuesday morning, said Shahzad was "clearly on the plane and shouldn't have been."
How did this guy make it on a plane? The plane was on the runway, ready to go.

Why was his passport not flagged?

These are questions that need to be answered.

Flag his passport?

Oh you think the USA is smart enough to "flag a passport"?

We can't even protect the country against criminals coming IN.

Do you think we're smart enough to protect the world against criminals LEAVING?

Give me a break!
