    CNN Hits Bottom

    CNN air-headed dunce Christiane Amanpour has figured out the reason behind Islamic supremacism. It has nothing to do with what's written in the Koran, and nothing to do with Sayyid Qutb, or the Wahhabi sect, or centuries of expansionist warfare. Forget history. Forget the Osama bin Laden declared war on America in 1993.

    It's all Bush's fault. And she's shocked. Amanpour: Brit radicals shock me.

    "What struck us most was how deeplythe Iraq war has radicalized today's generation of young Muslims in Britain." Blah, blah, blah...

    She should know the hatred started long before Dubya.
    Seriously, this stuff is delusional...

    The hatred started in 1953 when the U.S. and the UK overthrew a democratically elected (and popular to boot) government in Iran.

    Why did we do that?

    Long before that - like recall The Barbary Priate days and Thomas Jefferson?

    My bad, I forgot about all the apple carts Muslim extremists were plowing into buildings in America at that time

    What exactly is the direct link between semi-autonomous pirates and Iraq/Iran?

    What is "Islamic supremacism", Boon Mee?
    First time I hear about this.
    It's not mentioned in the article, nor does, of course, the author attempt to find out the reason behind it.
    Nor is G.W. Bush mentioned.

    Have you read this article, Boon Mee? - it's about the radicalisation of young Muslims in the UK.

    - got nothing to do with the Pirates in the Caribean, either.

    Boon Mee - please try to avoid posting links to long articles unless you can provide a brief summary.

    The article is clearly about young muslims in the UK and their attitude SINCE the US invaded Iraq. You can talk about history, but that's not what the article is about. The UK has long been a multi-cultural society and never before have young muslims been inspired to put bombs on London's buses and trains. That's what the article is about, and the journalist is simply trying to discover why that should be. Not to link these events to the Iraq war is naive in the extreme. Young muslims in the UK are not overly concerned about what happened in the distant past, but in what has happened recently in muslim countries, especially in the middle east. The article also discusses what moderate muslim leaders are trying to do to win back the cause of Islam from radical extremists and turn them into a more positive force for common sense and religious tolerance.

    It strikes me that you didn't interpret the article properly or just looked at quotes to support your incorrect conclusion.
    The truth is out there, but then I'm stuck in here.

    Au contraire there Wallace. My point is these radical Muslims in the UK would have been 'radical' with or without Dubay's War on Terror. My Pirates of the Carribean reference was only to point out that radical Muslims have had a history going back to the conquest of southern Spain of expansionism and brutal oppression under Shari'a Law...

    Anyhow, CNN is pandering to the Bush-haters...again, which is the main point here.

    As I already pointed out, Bush isn't even mentioned in the article, it's not all about Bush and you Americans, this article is about the UK, which was a partner in the Iraq invasion.

    "F" for you, Boon Mee, redo your homework.

    Jeeeze...all you have to do is listen to that air-head Christiane Amanpour (if you can stomach her horrible accent w/out tossing your cookies) to get her overwhelming bias against anything Bush and his administration does...

    Well, if you wanted to slam "Christiane Amanpour", you've chosen the wrong article.

    No, she's just one of CNN's more prominant liberal mouthpieces. It's just more of the same with that 'news' organization...

    Boon Mee - I strongly disagree with you. It is silly to state that radical muslims would have set off bombs in the UK with or without Bush's war on terror. It is exactly because of his stupid policies that British people died. There have never been bombings of this type in the UK, so you are just wrong to suggest it is a coincidence. The bombings in Madrid were precisely because Spain supported Bush in Iraq's invasion. Since then Spain has not had any more cause for concern from muslim extremists. Funny how this hasn't happened in France, or Germany, isn't it? That's because they have more sense than to jump on the American bandwagon.

    If you have an issue with a particular journalist, then make your thread about that.

    This 'War on Terror' has been growing for a long time. Started in recent times with the Achilles Lauro hikacking, Marine Barracks bombing in Lebanon and so on. Take a look at what's happening in France - Paris specifically with the car-torchings on a nightly basis. This radical Muslim situation was going to evolve with or without Bush's war...

    Boon Mee - you know I was talking about the muslim bombers. 'This type' refers to young muslim radicals bombing buses and tube trains.

    Good effort, but you probably underestimate my intelligence.

    If you think Bush's war on terror and the invasion of Iraq have nothing to do with increased violence by muslims in Europe, then that's up to you. Personally, I think I'm on stronger ground believing that it has been a massive contributing factor.

    Whoo Wee!
    Don't get started on some IQ levels or being a member of Mensa or something!
    I'll give you this - the war in Iraq has most probably escalated the timetable where the eventual terror issue is to be addresed.

    Oh well, I don't think facts come into it much...it's more about finding people to blame.
    Muslims are as barbaric as pirates, so you see that Christiane Amanpour is a nuttering liberal mouthpiece for supporting them and CNN part of the looney lib "blame-Bush" crowd, or something like this.

    We already established that the traitors Hanoi Jane and Jimmy Carter, as well as the communist Clintons have a lot to answer for, they are the enablers of the worldwide rise of Islamocommunism!

    Oh, and let's not forget the America-hating Euro-weenies, I forgot what they've done, apart from burying their heads in the sand. Don't they collaborate with the enemy and attempt to establish a socialist tyranny in Europe or something like that?

    So, that's settled, next please!

    I think you meant to say not all were Muslims. Because many were and maybe even most.


    I think Boon is correct, Bush sped up the timetable. The reason the UK was free of muslim violence was because they allowed the radicals to station themsleves there without hassling them. All is well as long as they aren't provoked and alllowed to pursue their interests. Their interests being fundraising for and plotting of international terror and the over throw of governments.

    From what I've read most of them (if not all) at the time of Jefferson were in fact pirates of Spanish, Dutch, and Turkish origin.

    So, the article was right in saying, that "What struck us most was how deeply the Iraq war has radicalized today's generation of young Muslims in Britain."
    I found it an interesting read.

    Interesting in that 50 years ago the US and UK effectively made a mess of things, and, 50 years later we're still there messing things up (well, the UK is withdrawing from Iraq)...and we wonder why they hate us.
