#2 Just noticed the Pakistani flag in the flowers.
Bit like adding salt to the wound.

#4 That's the symbol of Islam. A signature and slap in the face.

What would Londoners have done during the Blitz if someone had left a Nazi flag at the site of a bombing?

On the other hand the tone of that Paki article is interesting. They try to make it look like there is a massive backlash in Western countries. BUT THERE ISN'T. How will they react when Mecca is nuked?

#5 It also looks like Arafat's shawl is in the background. Here is the picture

#6 "What would Londoners have done during the Blitz if someone had left a Nazi flag at the site of a bombing?"

during the blitz London was bombed by the German military. Do you have evidence that the Pakistani miltary was involved in the 7/7 atrocity?

Though it would of course be more appropriate to put in a UK flag.

#7 The Pak military runs the terrorist training camps.

Jihad is an instrument of state policy for the Pak army (which predates and is superior to the state itself). The very motto of the Pak army: "Jihad and Piety in the name of Allah" is instructive.

The madrasssas were encouraged in a deliberate policy to recruit foot soldiers for jihad.

Funding via narco trafficking was ISI approved.

The US cruise missile strike on the terror camp where Osama had been located missed him by a few hours but killed many Pak military trainers.

Recall the infamous Kunduz airlift?
The US opened a safe corridor from Afghan to Pak to allow ISI to extricate their officers. lots of Al Qaeda also left on those planes.

#8 At least two of the bombers trained in Pakistan.

#9 I wonder how much "training" is needed to set off a bomb in a crowded subway? My guess is they spent a lot of time being brain washed by some mullahs.

#10 The bomb maker was certainly trained in his craft.
Military grade explosives were used.

Most of these jihadis receive small arms training.

And indoctrination is an essential feature of these camps. One bomber left his 8 month old baby and wife to commit the deed. The CCTV cameras show the men laughing.

I would not be surprised if the funding was from Pak.
After all, ISI Chief General Mahmoud Ahmad wired $100 000 to lead 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta.

#11 A letter to Tony Blair
By BRIG. (RETD) M. SHAFI KHAN
Pakistan Army

Please recollect 9/11: there were teams on spot to take precision guaranteed photos of final crash of aircraft into the towers. Jews were absent from work on that day. How the aviation facilities on American soil were employed to create the tragedy and there was no scramble of strategic air-command and last minute coordination of attackers and facilities â âthe world will never be the sameâ, the ghosts of Osama bin Ladin is still haunting. Who did it?

#12 I am waiting for the BBC to decide to label these homegrown "bombers" as insurgents.

#13 What is that Paki newspaper? The Nation has a special position in Pakistan's media, as the most respected publication in English... the market leader in the Punjab and Islamabad areas, and has established a strong presence in Karachi since its inception there in 2000. It is the newspaper of choice for not only those who make decisions, formulate policy or are opinion leaders but also for those youngsters who will call the shots in the future.

And they proclaim that 9/11 was a Zionist conspiracy, Bush and Sharon are the arch-terrorists, and Blair should stay away from them.

If I were Tony Blair, I'd ask Pakistan to explain what looks like a letter of support for attacks against the Coalition of the Liberators.

Immediately after the bombings in London perpetrated by Moslems who trained in Pakistan, such a letter ought to be construed as a declaration of war.

#14 After 9/11 it was yet another Pak General - former ISI chief Hamid Gul who originated the theory of a mossad jionist conspiracy.

Another example of muslim deflection and rationalization of why muslim terror is understandable.

Despite the fact that these are outright internet myths, disproved every which way from sunday, muslims would rather believe them than do even a small amount of soul searching.

Nowhere do we see the "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!" crowd in the muslim world. Nowhere do we see the internal debate and discourse, the arguments, the exchange of ideas, the challenging of assumptions, and ultimately th shedding of light that pervades the worlds great religions.

Instead, they are sheep who follow their imams. If they don't, they are castigated or worse, considered an apostate. The penalty of which, theoretically, is death.

Blame Jews.

Point fingers.

Assume the victim status.

Call for understanding the "root causes" of islamic terror (by that they mean the "oppression experienced by islamic terrorists, like the "british" guys from Leeds!)

Explain why such acts are "unislamic" (even though they are performed in the name of islam and literally MILLIONS of muslims feel pride when they are successful)

Do anything. Except realize that islam is the cause of this crap.
