“There is no hope. These people of jihad and al-Qaeda are retarded and barbarians.” [translated from Arabic]

“In a few years those thieves (jihadists) have betrayed a civilisation and a history that took thousands of years for our ancestors to build. And how much did that cost them? A few kilograms of explosives and a handful of straying souls.” [translated from Arabic]

“The way to beat them is not to give in to them, and more democracy and democratic institutions, a complete overhaul of the education system in the Arab and Muslim worlds and the full separation of Mosque and State.”

“We know the pain, sadness and chaos that such inhumane acts may bring to a lot of innocent people and families because we [are] experiencing it on a daily basis from the same thugs — the Wahabi terrorist cockroaches.”

“London has always been a second home to me . . . Please accept my condolences. May the souls of those barbarically killed rest in peace.”

“Our heartfelt condolences to the families of the 50-60 Iraqis who are killed every day in occupied Iraq. And our heartfelt condolences to the families of the tens of civilians who fell in London on the day of July 7, 2005.”

“It was horrific and despicable in every respect. It must not be yielded to. The British must receive all help possible. And if necessary, our sword must be offered to them.”

“Most people today are suffering from the actions of those who believe they are in possession of ultimate truth and do not feel a need to check their premises or try and see the world from other viewpoints.”

“Iraq has had to endure daily bombings with little equivalent press coverage.”

“The attack on London will only raise the level of ‘war on terrorism’. The Bush-Blair coalition can never catch the real culprits, but instead they would just prosecute the poor honest Muslim civilians further. And the prosecution would probably lead to more terrorist attacks. We are locked into this vicious circle.”

“Any Dem [Democrat] talking head that you see bloviating will somehow find a way to note that the London attack proves conclusively that the Bush strategy has failed. Can these people get any more insipid? Hey geniuses, think about it: Islamic terrorism has been a global phenomenon since the 1970s.”

“Presumably al-Qaeda (or whoever) would claim they are doing this because of British involvement in Iraq, but of course this will not change UK policy there one iota. The only real impact will be that Blair will seek even more dictatorial powers.

“I think it is too early to tell, but this attack could have the reverse effect from what the terrorists hoped. Already statements of renewed resolve are coming out of unlikely places like the EU. It certainly puts the lie to claims that they can sit on the sidelines clucking and sniffing (not talking about the Brits here).”

“Londoners, stand fast! Your friend America stands with you in solidarity. We know how you feel, and we promise to continue the fight. We are witnessing a jihad against Western ideology, a religious war that would not end if the US withdrew or if Israel made peace with Palestinians. From the fanatical zealot’s perspective, there are only two options for the non-Muslim world: convert or die.”

We don’t expect this in our stable democracies. Even after 9/11, with the security. We hear this happen daily in Iraq, and we dont flinch, but when it happens in a nation that is peaceful, and secure, it’s a shock.”
