Look, you stupid bastard. You've got no arms left.


Two car bombs defused Friday in London. Police suspect al Qaida ties and homegrown Islamic terrorists.

In Scotland on Saturday, two more Islamic terrorists -- police say in a related act -- crash an SUV into a terminal entrance at the Glasgow airport, then set it alight. The driver -- ablaze from head to toe and screaming "Allah! Allah!" -- takes a swing at a cop.

MEANWHILE, back in the British capital, the Black Knight the mayor warns Britons not to think poorly of Muslims. As if Jehovah's Witnesses are just as apt to blow people to Kingdom Come for throwing Watchtowers into the wastebasket.

Agence France-Presse
reports the following with a straight face, but you know they're smirking underneath:

London Mayor Ken Livingstone called on Britons Saturday not to demonize Muslims after a double car bomb plot was foiled in the capital, amid fears of a Islamist terror threat.

At the same time he criticized Britain over its ties with Saudi Arabia, which he said had fuelled intolerance in the past through its Wahhabist form of Islam, creating a "major problem."

"In this city, Muslims are more likely to be law-abiding than non-Muslims and less likely to support the use of violence to achieve political ends than non-Muslims," he told BBC Radio.

"They have played a good and active and growing role in creating a multi-cultural society," he added.

He noted that terrorist acts had been carried out in London over the years by various groups including for example far-right groups. For years the British capital was wracked by violence by the Irish Republican Army (IRA).

"All I am interested in as mayor is that we try to prevent all acts of violence whether it is by a disaffected young member of the (far-right) BNP (British National Party), whether it is by an Islamist or a Wahhabist supporter," he said.

It was crucial to understand "that that doesn't mean that all white men are potentially a threat to society any more than all Muslims are," he added.
