These terrorists live in the country's that they are targeting. They are religuos fanatics that want everyone to live by Sharia Law. There will be no World War, just world education. We live in a great time, with a few hassles, but it is all repairable. Think positve, talk positive and don't let them get to you. |

we are basically in ww3, but its not like previous bloody wars, this one is more of an intelligence battle between terrorists and the western world, its been going on now since 2002 thats already 3 years! I was talking to my step dad about this, he's been a medic in the army for about 22 years now and from what he was telling me, the only way to beat the terrorist is to take out their leaders and they will fall, not something easy to do because they are in hiding and getting marters to carry out their deeds!
London was just waiting to happen and so are many other major cities around the world, they won't stop till they get what they want, and we are not going to bend over for them, we will fight and we will win! It's an extremely sad time for london and its people, i just hope there are no more attacks to follow. my condolences to those involved in this horrific act and hope they pull through.

My big beef is that we all have different religous values we all believe in something different. I do not intend to shove the values I hold down the throat of somebody and I expect the same, I do not believe that one religion is better over another. I do believe that we have choices and should be allowed to make those choices of our own free will and with no harm to others. But when people ( or in my book THINGS) believe that their ideals are better than somebody down the road therefore that person is totally wrong, then we have a problem. I most certainly do not believe that anybody should be able to treat another person worse than we treat animals. All these things point to one thing in my book, you can not expect me to take sides in religion arguments but if you mistreat somebody for their beliefs and abuse them in anyway then yes I will be angry and upset. These terriosts are the type of people who will not learn as one person has said they have tunnel vision and they believe that they are right. They need to be weeded out and shown that humanity as a whole will not tolerate abuse to others, no matter what the religion. I am not advocating war nor am I sayiing we shouldnt be involved. The way I see it we are all humans living together on one planet and we should protect each other from being treated worse than animals. Unfortunately alot do not see it that way.

Agreed. One theory is that this is a civil war between muslims. The fanatics are attacking the muslim comunities that live in western countries like westerners, instead of as fanatic muslims. The fanatics want us to react by attacking all muslims, then we look like the bad ones. |

Phew. The friend I have over in London is fine, was just talking to another friend who has made contact with him. Apparently his alarm didn't wake him up for work and he slept in until 10am. I don't know if he travels on the affected train lines, but at least he is fine.
I am bloody relieved.

What i find contradictory is these terrorists fight in the name of their god, when it is against any religion to kill. They think they are right, and we think we are right. I mean basic logic and morality would have it that killing innocent people doesnt solve anything. Some serious screws loose. I mean yes they might have a problem but so do many others. If we all killed someone because of it there wouldnt be any people on the earth. Australia, America and Britain have been very generous towards these countries showing no descrimination for race or religion and then they do this. I say soon Australia will be next although i hope im wrong. |

What a shocking chain of events... I was able to find out last night relatively quickly my sister who is in London was ok (she was up in Bristol for work but had passed through the underground stations earlier that morning), but it was quite anxious.
My advice would be send an sms if people over there have a mobile and just keep trying, hopefully you will hear the good news you were after mrs casper & others. I found the speech by London Mayor Ken Livingstone quite good, I have heard it a couple of times on tv & radio (link to full speech here) Quote:

A friends parents are on holidays in London. They're originally from England and now Australian citizens. Was with him when we found out about the bombings about 10:00pm last night. He tried unsuccessfully to contact his parents. Just spoke to him about 3 hours ago and he still cannot get in contact with his parents. Maan.. I can't help but think of the worst right now. I'm trying to get some sleep.. but it's not happening. I'll try again soon. If I'm this nervous.. the bloke must be worried sick.
edit: Woke up this morning to find a sms from my mate. His Mom range him and they're both ok.. minor injuries to his Dad, but both are fine.

Yes it'll happen some day, but the chances of getting caught up in it are so slim it's not funny. Don't let this crap change how you run your lives. A bloody big pat on the back to the poms on the Tube this morning. The trains were empty, but there were the few. They must be a hardened bunch, what after the Blitz, the IRA bombings of the 70's and 80's and now this. |

gotta agree there Psycho. i believe we've been a target a lot longer than we all realise. full credit to the government for trying to be tough on unwanted influxes of foreigners. unfortunatly we have too many bleeding heart leftists that put way too much pressure on the government over immigration, which may be our undoing.
it's strange how some of these people hate our religons and ideals, yet pay huge money to live in western society. |
