Plus there's the fact that the odds of becoming a victim of a terrorist attack are pathetically low compared to a whole bunch of other ways of dying.JourneyThroughHell said:
Anyone who is genuinely worried about being caught in a terrorist attack should also devote proper consideration to getting struck by lightning. Or mauled by a tiger (not such a clever analogy if you live in a region where tigers roam free, mind you). And activities like driving? Nuts.
I'm highly critical of "Islam" as a dogmatic religion/ideology, as I am of all other absolutist authoritarian world views, but most people who call themselves Muslims aren't 100 % literalist followers, just like all "Christians" don't go around murdering gay people anymore despite the book of Romans (to say nothing of what's in the Old Testament, insofar as that is upheld) still being canon.Kenko said:
Furthermore, despite the many horrific and condemnable dogmas on norms found in the authoritative texts of Islam - and the other religions, especially the Abrahamic ones - there's really nothing in there to suggest that terrorism is an "Islamic" thing.
I'm totally fine with the religion itself being firmly criticized and relentlessly condemned for all the aspects where it falls beneath basic human rights and decency. I do just that [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/528.230964-Imam-Feisal-Abdul-Rauf-speaks-about-the-mosque-controversy?page=7#8108983] all the time (with all religions). Just be sure that what is criticized is actually part of Islamic dogma, and remember that the actual "Muslims" are every bit as hypocritical as us in their selflabeling, and will rarely "fit the bill" 100 %; In fact, most would probably just be ordinary human beings unconcerned with religious dogma.
In conclusion, it's certainly not (all parts of) Islam I defend or even refrain from relentlessly condemning, but as for the vast majority of who actually call themselves Muslims, they're not as bad as parts of their own scriptures strictly logically should, and the media coverage of terrorists and ultradogmatic Islamic literalists (not even the same thing, actually they're two somewhat separate evils) by now unfortunately would, suggest. Not by a long shot.
yeah i have been following it on politiken, they lost interest about 1 hour after it happened when they learned that the bomb was safer than homemade fireworks, i even read a headline about in one of the "entertainment" newspapers (entertainment meaning spreading fear about safe things, kinda like fox, and making freaking huge deals about people who are "famous" from reality tv) and even they couldn't make it sound scary, and they can usually link a bad cup of coffee to terrorist organizations constantly trying to kill all Danes.
but yeah if it was a terrorist attack its almost funny, a suicide bomber who failed at even killing himself.

Uh WTF?Kenko said:
It clearly states that the suspect was in no way a Muslim or an Arab.
I know this is flame bate and i hate responding but really, WTF man?
Not all people that are Muslims are terrorists.
Fuck, i bet you don't even know that Muslim means A follower of the religion of Islam which is based of the same thing that Christianity is (ie Noah, Adam, Prophets etc) yet you don't call them out and say "LOL must b dem"
Fuck you and your blatant ignorance.
And before you ask, no im not a hardcore Christian nor am i a religious nut. I just have common sense and some brains about me.
So, that was your point?Kenko said:
Really mate, thats just sad. Its a Saturday night (or Friday) and your on the Internet trying to bait people in yelling at you on The Escapist none the less.
That sucks. I pity you.
Im only here now as i have no choice im waiting for my ride who is fucking late :/

New York few months ago. Terrorist locked his keys for the get away car, had to ask his landlord to get back in his apartment. The bomb itself was ridiculous basically a bunch of propane tanks, firecrackers and gasoline. They picked him up at the airport when he tried to leave.
There are a billion Muslims on the planetKenko said:
The KKK are a bunch of crazy whites who think they're above all other races; that doesn't mean all us whites think that. Try fucking educating yourself instead of letting the likes of Nick Griffin make up a load of shit for you to blindly follow (or the mad "journalists" on Fox News).
No it doesn't. He could very well be both. It states that he most likely has residence in Northern Africa orBlackadder51 said:

After rereading the article and also realising that your the OP, I now do realise my mistake. In my haste to take the bait of a troll i skipped an important piece of information. However my point still stands, there is no reason to assume that because it could have been a terrorist act it was automaticly a Musilm or an Arab.
Though evidence may prove me wrong of course.
i live in the UK, but not in London, so if any terrorist bombings were to happen, odds are i'd not be affected, since London is pretty much the main target for any terrorists here.
Lol, Terrorism. Hilarious.
Im pretty sure this guy is 12...and white. This kind of talk is just sad. Muslims are people, just like you. No need to be such a racistKenko said:
If this happened in the US on today, or yesterday, I'm pretty sure we'd invade somebody by tommorow. We just excel at over-reacting
Why would you bomb anywhere in Denmark? Everyone is awesome over there. You're wasting your time silly terrorist man.
Yeah his post was ignorant or at least worded poorly.Blackadder51 said:
Terrorist attacks are quite rare in Denmark, even the ones that are caught before anything happens. But preparing a bomb this close to September 11th that close to a central railway hub, the obvious conclusion is that this guy was upset over either the cartoons or Denmarks involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq. It's just the most likely explanation until the police finish their investigation.
Update:
He is being jailed until October 4th for making a bomb with the intend to hurt people and for having a loaded gun and 2 extra clips in a public place. His first week and a half will be in isolation. On October 4th he goes to court again for the sentence and possibly to be tried for terrorism which could land him in jail for life. He refuses to give any information.
Well, it could be a Muslim terrorist because, well, the Mohammad cartoons were drawn by a Danish artist. And there have been people threatening Denmark because of it.
Why else would someone, anyone want to build a bomb in Denmark? It never does anything bad.
Anyway, this happening here in Germany is unlikely. Besides, I live in Cologne, and if it were to happen, it would probably be in Berlin.
