Terrorists posing as doctors may not be as far-fetched as the media is making it out to be:
“People often assume that terrorists are poor, disadvantaged people who are brainwashed or need the money. But the ones who actually perpetrate violence without handlers and manipulation are highly intelligent by necessity,” said Magnus Ranstorp, a terrorism expert at the Swedish National Defence College in Stockholm.“It’s only the smart ones who will survive security pressures in a subversive existence. Sometimes they are doctors, a profession that provides a brilliant cover and allows entry to countries like Britain,” he said.

It may have been a brilliant cover, but they were pretty lousy terrorists. They probably killed more people as physicians than they did as terrorists. Fortune for the Britons.
Anyone assuming that the Islamists are “poor, disadvantaged people who are brainwashed or need the money” is an utter moron (or worse an Islamist apologist) and deserves nothing less than to meet the fate of Ghulam Nabi. The source of Islamic “terrorism” is Islamic ideology and Islamic theology. Most Westerners have zero clue about Islam because they have taken zero time to study the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the prophet (the Hadiths). The war of the Islamists on dar-al-harb is mandated in the Qur’an. It is irrespective of social status, brainwashing (see the retarded comments regarding suicide bombers must be mentally ill – A completely nonsensical Western perspective characterizing normative non-Western behavior as a mental illness) and instead is a purely ideological issue.
Here is a good place to start if you wish to actually learn about the mentality of the culture that the West is up against:

Look at the Qur’an Chapter 9, Verses 5 and 29. Islam is not the religion of peace (more pabulum from the multicultists) but is instead the religion of submission.
“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”
Do you, the enlightened reader, even know what the Jizya and the Dhimmi are?

The cell-phone London bombings failed, but I would not be so fast to attribute it to incompetence. Many features of the attempt were obviously well-planned.
Sheer bad luck may have prevented detonation, the exact reason the fuel-air bombs didn’t go off isn’t known yet. There was the “freak” discovery of the car by EMT’s who were in the area for another reason; a subtle defect in a sophisticated weapon may have saved the day…
The Glasgow attacks, it has been revealed in recent press account, was extemporized in a panic. The bombers had been alerted that the police were hot on their trail, and the airport attact was off the cuff and on the run. Even then, had Scots not reacted with such speed and bravery in knocking the men down, had the men made it further into the airport, the destruction and loss of innocent life might have been significant, despite failures of the penetration of the car into the airport, and the fuel-air explosion in that attack.
In regard to hero Scots – would you bolt for your personal safety, or run towards a flaming terrorist and kick him square in the nuts?
Even that didn’t bring down Bilal, who seemed very determined to open the trunk of the burning 4×4…
It took many to bring him down, but the doctor PHAILed like a LOLcat, in part thanks to the taxi-driver and other Scots who assisted Providence that day.
The leading contender for “Stupidest Comment of the Week Award” is Dr. Sanity, who suggested that it was the latent sadism in all of us doctors that was at the root of these ’splodeydopes behavior.
“It may have been a brilliant cover, but they were pretty lousy terrorists. They probably killed more people as physicians than they did as terrorists. Fortune for the Britons.”
So because they were incompetent fools, we should just ignore what happened and pretend everything is fine.
move along folks, nothing to see here.
BRILLIANT!
“Do you, the enlightened reader, even know what the Jizya and the Dhimmi are?”
I’m not sure, but I think I am going to give the Jizya to the Dhimmi tonight if I am lucky.
Self emolation is a fitting fate for evil such as that. This is when a burn nurse with a narco problem would be a good thing.
