Muslims Save the Day

"LONDON, England (CNN) -- A British intelligence official has told CNN that the original information about a plot to down commercial jetliners in mid-Atlantic with explosives came from a tip from the Muslim community in Britain."

See how working with people and fostering good relations with the muslim community can payoff. I've said it time and time again, and I'll say it again:

The war on terror is a war of information. We will not succeed by using excessive and deadly military force. INFORMATION alone will make us victorious.

It is only possible to defeat terrorism by undermining it and isolating it from the community it claims to represent. That way it just withers and dies.

Using brutality in return only feeds it.

This is how the PIRA was defeated...

for potentially saving the lives of thousands? Yes. I'd say that deserves a medal.

The Brits kissed Muslim ass, and what do they get? Death and destruction. Time to admit that.

Actually, they got cooperation and more information on existing terror cells. And its a good thing we're on good terms with Pakistan. They too can help weed out and destroy these cells that exist within their country.

From what I hear Pakistan particularly played a key role in catching these bastards..

And in the lastest incident? All home grown Muslims seeking to kill innocent people! And still they say it has nothing to do with religion!

The latest that I heard is that only two of them were "homegrown" the rest were immigrants. All grew up without ever facing the poverty that is so often blamed though...

The point is that you become a racist when you assume all muslams are bad.

Bush's administration also has good relations with this government there, LadyT. It appears that Bush also seemed to know beforehand.

Muslim is not a race. You become a bigot, but not necessarily racist if you believe all muslims are bad.

Most of these Muslims are 2nd generation.

Thanks for the correction. You are right.

I heard on PBS that Bush had known about this for a while. Could that explain the apparent rapid response ?

I know he does. I'm merely pointing out that it doesn't take an Army (IDF/US) to combat terrorism as a lot of misinformed cons (Dixie) tend to believe. Information is the most powerful tool we have.
