Bombs on UK train – But where is the media frenzy?
Friday, November 07, 2008
"A man has been charged with carrying two bombs on a train ahead of a planned terror attack."
Indeedy, you guessed it; the man in question wasn't Muslim. This yet another example of a biased media system, willing to give all their screen time and newspaper real estate to the smallest incidents involving "Muslims" caught up in the wrong side of the law, no matter how non threatening their so called actions were (anyone remember the 23 year old "Lyrical Terrorist’ who wrote “extremist poems”?).
A full article on the train incident can be found here:

…and it wasn’t easy of me to find neither (did a search for it after catching the tail end of a news piece on the BBC Asian Network).
So when people like Robert Cottage (found with the largest stock pile of weapons uncovered on British Soil) and Neil Lewington (above) have definite means and plans (and even caught in the process) to commit acts of terror, a tumble weed rolls by, the crickets chirp, and everyone smiles as if nothing happened. But when a Muslim covert, Nicky Reilly, who is diagnosed medically as mentally ill, attempts to bomb an Exeter Restaurant, it's plastered on the front page of newspapers from here to Baghdad?!
-- p.s. I did hope to keep my new spangly blog away from politics and religion...but hey.
