.........But in the ultra-tolerant atmosphere that existed in London before the September 11 attacks, such "wayward" young Muslims were exactly the material being sought by radical Islamists.

I question Moussaoui's intelligence in all this. This guy is not playing with a full deck.
Until then, his family and friends agree, the young man had been full of smiles. He had gone to bars and drunk beer and had a French girlfriend, with whom he ultimately shared a flat. The couple even won a dance contest.
"I would say that England is responsible for many things because it allowed this fever to spread around the country," she told the Canadian television channel CBC. "These young people go to England, and then they scream hatred and vengeance in front of mosques. They let the fever spread." His brother, Abd-Samad, agreed: "I believe that Britain has fed a snake at its bosom, and has been bitten by the snake.''

Are you people reading the same article I am?
The mother thinks this is a sign of a GOOD kid
She states that the British were "too permisive" in allowing Islamic radicals free reign.
Do you guys just make up words in your head when you read the news?
There's no "So liquor stores, bars and freedom of speech made him a terrorist" in the article. The mother clearly states that the British were too lax in allowing radical Islam to ferment.
Agreeing with that statement is another issue altogether...
Originally posted by shotsAfter reading all your comments without the ex tags, you are basically saying the very same thing he did only not as direct. The mother is essentially blaming it all on our/your freedom and way/ways of life.

Americans arent fat for no reason! lol!
there are endless selections and if fish and chips is your preference there are a few places I have found that do it justice.

Strangely enough so do we! If anything the variety of food I can eat in London is greater than you can get in NY
Originally posted by shotsThe question is what if anything do the British do that other nations do not that can justify the mothers allegations that it is the fault of the British?
French counter-intelligence service, the DST, accusing the British authorities of being far too permissive in the years before 2001.
