but, Hell probably claim to be sick, let out on medical leave like the Lockerbe bomber and become a hero.
Why is attempted murder not treated the same as murder?? Just because the creep is a failure at killing, the intent and mind set is the same.
In fact it is only you, Abdulwahab and Breivik who have good understanding of Islam but the rest of the Muslims who account for 1 billion living persons, do not know what they are doing!
There are actually 1 billion brain washed idiots in the world whom worship something that does not exist and are willing to die for it
Yes, me and say for example the 80%+ of Egyptian Muslims who believe in death for apostasy and stoning for adultery and who vote the Muslim brotherhood into power. I think they get it too.
Unfortunately for equivocating snakes like yourself there are actually non-partisan sources (Pew, for example) doing opinion polls in the ME.
Many are happy to explain their widespread positive opinions towards religious violence, misogyny, terror and anti-semitism in huge swaths of that part of the world if someone simply asks.
Google "pew stoning egypt" for starters... There's plenty more.
Or one can simply talk to a Jew in Malmo if they can find one.
I know it's your sweetest dream that political correctness will stop people from looking at actual numbers to maintain the illusion that it's always just "one bad apple" and not tens of millions of who hold frighteningly radical beliefs that are diametrically opposed to everything the West values.
Unfortunately for you things are swinging in the opposite direction these days.
Good luck trying to keep your finger in the dam.
Typical laws and police methods are not adequate to truly prevent such organized crime. Military intervention and the colateral civilian deaths and injury are potentially needed.
There is a need to stamp out the Jahad, religious fanatics around the world and make all who contemplate supporting or joining them understand that doing so will endanger their personal life, the life of their family and the life of their neighbors and friends.
Civilization needs to stamp out Jahad or potentially face a new dark age. This is and can not be dealt with using traditional police and laws design to stop individuals from criminal acts.
I hope Muslims adopt to the world. The influence of media has more than ever convinced them that they are "the feared" ones. For exploiters, it is just an arrangement of money and a so called feared person to plan such attacks.
Muslims buy new clothes, new cell phones, new "whatever not" but are reluctant to abandon old ideas. The propaganda has bonded their identity with these beliefs. Ironically there are other religious extremists but it is the number that counts.
PEACE.
