"Yuppie Muslim" Blunder in UK
Monday, July 2, 2007
I've been waiting for this, and now it's come. A credible, lefty-wing voice on why the UK terror plot suggests that Muslim extremism is in trouble in the UK, not on the rise. It comes down to this: Why didn't the car go off? Car bombs go off on a daily basis in Iraq, and used to go off on a monthly basis in the UK under the IRA. What's wrong with the "Al Qaeda" bombers in the UK that they can't make three different bombs successful. Maybe they're not that talented.
Looks like we have yuppie Muslims who, despite a medical education, don't understand fundamentals about how to build and detonate quality improvised explosives. They obviously spent all of their cash on the Mercedes and neglected to sign up for the suicide bomber course. Thank your deity or religious object of affection for their fecklessness. Or, thank your lucky stars.
These latest events will further erode the capability of Muslim extremists in the U.K. British and Scottish police certainly have new leads to follow. And the ham handed execution of this plot is not going to attract eager copycats. What genuine fanatic is going to be inspired by amateur terrorists who have trouble igniting gasoline? Not many.
This analysis is bound to make some people unhappy, and apparently has over at the comments section at TPM. But these questions are definitely worth asking.
