Protesters chant 'bomb New York'

[emad]

20 May 2005
More than 100 hardline Islamic protesters chanted the name of Osama bin Laden outside the US Embassy in London today.

The crowd, which is expected to grow during the afternoon, included many men whose faces were covered by their headscarves and at least a dozen women.

Their demonstration "against the desecration of the Koran" was being held yards from the steps of the Embassy in Grosvenor Square, which was guarded by a small detail of police.

The crowd, led by a man on a megaphone, chanted "USA watch your back, Osama is coming back" and "Kill, kill USA, kill, kill George Bush".

1. Ah... Winning the hearts and minds...

thanks chimpy

[Mizmoon]

2. well, they aren't being very friendly either

don't our hearts and minds count for anything?

[mopinko]

3. what's that smell?

are these people for real, do you think? i predict that no matter what happens, there will be no arrests, as that may lead to an answer to that question that some people do not want to hear.

[booksenkatz]

5. You think maybe there's a Parlock under those face scarves? NT

[mopinko]

6. ya gotta wonder.

it's too bizarre.

[DoYouEverWonder]

12. I bet Roger Stone is manning the telephones

from a safe distance.

[geckosfeet]

23. CIA facilitated bombings in NY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you think its possible?!?! BushCo would selectively groom terrorist flunkies to take out specific progressive targets ??

OMFG !

Either I have or this government has gone over the edge.

[Vladimir]

26. Nail. Head. Hit. n/t

[Beetwasher]

4. Bushco. Is Practically BEGGING For Another Attack

They are doing everything in their power to make sure it happens and to make sure that we are as woefully unprepared as ever. Bushco. would LOVE for NY to get hit again.

[Raster]

16. that would be "Peal Harbor-like" event number two, if anyone is

keeping track. It would also give the warmongers some plausible reason to institute a draft.

[tom_paine]

31. Absolutely. The Busheviks would benefit TREMENDOUSLY from LIHOP #2

Which is why it WILL happen with their blessing, if not their outirght assisstance.

If it will benefit the Imperial Family, bet your ass it WILL HAPPEN.

[aion]

27. Too much synchronicity

I wish I could disagree with you here, but I cannot. It certainly looks like the PsyOps people are busy with a plan to help Bush's ratings.

[callous taoboy]

28. Yeah, well, anywhere but Wall Street, maybe....n/t

[prodigal_green]

40. Yeah, a real win-win

situation for the chimpministration and its fascists (won't use neo-fascist, they're all old-school).

[Deja Q]

44. Oh, that's nothing.

* would love anyone to attack. He wants to retaliate against them. Just wants to look like the good guy beforehand.

Keep in mind, the US is a society where the bullies don't get punished. Their victims do. And become scapegoats if they act out of angst.

[katty]

46. Agree, bushies stick is pushing hard into the Arab St beehive

[katty]

47. bush needs to justify another attack-his #'s are sinking

[NYC Liberal]

7. How is that different from THIS?

"My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building."

--Ann Coulter

[KurtNYC]

33. So Ann the Man

doesn't regret what McVeigh did in OKC?!

[nine30]

36. of course she does.

(s)He regrets what McVeigh did NOT do in NYC.

[FlaGranny]

8. It makes me sad they want to

pick on NY, where there are probably more people against this stupid, stupid administration than anywhere else in the country. The trouble is the pro-war folks live in places that aren't high profile targets and don't mind NYC taking their place (edit: except for the politicians in D.C., and even there most real people are anti-administration).

[DS1]

9. The "Religion of Peace" is just as bad as the rest of them.

[nine30]

10. Why New York ?

Most New Yorkers were against the war..and against prisoner abuses..etc. If it were a Red City like Dallas..or whatever I would understand their anger..but why New York ?

[nine30]

11. I suppose..

..its all the same to them. NY <=> America, for much of the world.

[RaleighNCDUer]

14. Even for Americans, 60% of the country is 'fly-over' America.

For most people overseas, they know Washington, New York and LA, and maybe Atlanta (for CNN), and other than Washington, New York has the memorable landmarks, the skyline, instantly recognizable across the world because of the movies.

[Cato1]

24. The fact that NY is a symbol...

... for American cultural and economic power makes it the obvious target of anti-American sentiment. Many islamists also have a fixation on New York due to the large Jewish population of the city.

[KittyWampus]

29. True, Though Texas With It's Oilmen Seems More Appropriate Somehow

[aion]

30. Globalism: NYSE, UN, IMF, World Bank

Globalism is furthered by the actions of the NYSE and the United Nations/IMF/World Bank. I would expect any of these to be targets of their aggression...since they see them as the agents responsible for their repression and expropriation.

[Al-CIAda]

34. Because the Psy-ops crew are trying to decieve the NYers into

supporting this treason. Over half of NYers believe 9/11 was an inside job. Maybe they need another 'attack', you know -nudge nudge.

[smirkymonkey]

45. One possibility is that New York is home to more Jews than

Israel. However, what these people don't realize is that most New Yorkers (including many Jews) are very much against the Bush Administration and U.S. Occupation in the ME.

[mopinko]

13. come on people this is just psy-ops

they don't have ridge the flunky any more. they need to keep dishing out the distractions.

[Just Me]

20. The mere fact that what amounts to a handful of folks shouting such,...

,...things are being placed directly under the microscope leads me to ponder whether this merely an additional piece of manipulative propaganda. I mean, there have been tens of thousands involved in numerous demonstrations in this country and we hardly get a blip on the media screen.

So, yeah,...I am very suspicious.

[Fuzz]

15. Freepers blame the media

For your amusement:

NYT is going to print some story about the deaths of some Afghani's at the hands of the military. Just adding more snow to an avalance of hate for America. Thanks again Times.

Remember the old adage "If it bleeds, it leads." It's been replaced in the liberal media by "If it makes the Bush Administration and by extension the United States of America look bad, it leads."

Their culture is a rabid dog that needs to be put down.

As An Coulter opined...these fools (NYT et. al.) are drawing ever closer to being lynched by the American Public tired of their bias and Anti-Americanism.

And it would be justice to do so, IMHO...how many people have been hurt by their propaganda?

It's a shame that our own media would incite riots against us by creating bad news - in an attempt to drain this current adminstration of any positive achievements whatsoever.

=(

I wonder...would taking a flame thrower to the NYT, WAPO, LATIMES, CNN, NEWSWEEK...be considered self defense? Considering their actions of late...how can it not?

[Raster]

17. please, HONESTLY and ACCURATELY enlighten us as to ANY of...

...the "positive achievements" of this administration. Please, just one.

And once again, the problem isn't the media reporting the abuses, THE PROBLEM IS THE ABUSES THEMSELVES.

[Ian David]

32. Well, you got your $200, didn't you?

I'm gonna buy me a new hammock!

[grumpy old fart]

37. So the next war will be blamed on Newsweek???

[Vickers]

18. How are those threats protected speech?

:shrug:

I love how they think REPORTING the news is somehow worse than the actions themselves. :eyes:

[geckosfeet]

19. How ironic! Is this a BushCo plan to sway public opinion?

They should be chanting "bomb the red state bigots". Maybe these people need to know they are targeting the wrong americans and that is a mistake.

Vilifying and detroying the progressive urban centers will only strengthen the right wing.

[getmeouttahere]

41. I don't know, it seems to me that....

destroying our economic centers, which also happen to be progressive strongholds, has been the stated objective of BushCo...oooppps I mean Osama and Al-Quaeda. Certainly operatives from Bandhar Bush's regime wouldn't bomb the home of the bluebonnets that he and Bush tip-toed through, hand in hand, would they?

[gordianot]

21. We are headed for serious trouble.

This is really tragic in that most probably (not sure of anything anymore) most Americans are not supporters of desecration of the Koran. Probably more than 1/2 of us do not care for Bush with a large segment who actually despise him. They have not figured out that a violent response is exactly what Bush needs and wants.

[Cato1]

25. It's long overdue ...

"This is really tragic in that most probably (not sure of anything anymore) most Americans are not supporters of desecration of the Koran."

...that rational people start to question the supposed right of religious fundamentalists to demand that their collections of fables not be "desecrated". I fully support the right of anyone to desecrate a bible, a koran or the collected fairy-tales of the Grimm brothers.

[gordianot]

48. I agree with a caveat.

But advocating or stamping on religious beliefs should not be Government policy.

[geek tragedy]

22. This is the same bunch of pathetic assholes that always call for violence

against the US, want to force women to wear burkas, etc etc.

Just as long as none of them get visas to enter the US, no big deal.

[aion]

35. No big deal?!?!

Are you telling us that our system is so fool-proof now that only those with Visas can enter? Are you telling us that it's no big deal for those USA citizens who might happen to live OUTSIDE the mainland?

No big deal? Yea, right...

[Al-CIAda]

38. 9/11 was an inside job, and the next 'attack' will be as well. n/t

[pissed_American]

39. No Big Deal ??!!

The mexican border does not hand out Visas to the tons of illegals that cross on a daily basis.

Not ALL crossings are done by Mexicans.

[JHB]

42. Sounds like a call to increase anti-terror spending in Texas...

...or Wyoming, or anyplace but a certain Blue city...

[slackmaster]

43. We must pre-emptively bomb England and replace its government

:dunce:

[K8-EEE]

49. "The World Is A Safer Place Now That Saddam Is Gone."

Oh yeah, Uh-huh, things are just falling right into place!
