Attack on Glasgow Airport
The Press Association Newsdesk

An apparent car bomb attack on Glasgow airport has ended in terrifying failure.
Witnesses said a blazing Cherokee jeep containing two Asian-looking men crashed through the doors of the main terminal building.

A man with his clothes on fire got out of the vehicle and was restrained by passengers and police while others put out the flames with a fire extinguisher. Two men were later arrested.

The airport was closed and passengers were cleared from the terminal building amid fears that it was a terrorist attack.

The incident came as police in London continued to search for terrorists who planted two car bombs which failed to detonate in the heart of the capital.

A spokesman for the airport's operators, the British Airports Authority, said emergency services were at the scene.

He said: "A car is on fire at the entrance to the terminal and there is considerable smoke damage to the terminal. The terminal has been evacuated as a result of this and all flights have now been suspended. This is the start of the busy summer holiday period, although Saturdays are less busy than week days.

"But this will cause disruption and our advice to passengers is to check with their airline to establish if their flight will be operating."

Another eyewitness, taxi driver Ian Crosby, said he was in no doubt that it was a terrorist attack.

"It looks to me like these people were intent on doing some serious damage," he told the BBC. "There was smoke coming from inside of the back seats," he said. "Immediately I realised this was a terrorist attack. Somebody had planned this. This was no accident."

----------------------------------------------

This has to be tied into the car bombs that were found in London.

I remember a few years back hearing about intelligence that was uncovered informing that terrorists were planning to pack limosines and cars with bombs and drive them into Airports, The Stock Exchange and other well known places and buildings.

Guess they've finally decided to put their plan in action now.

Go figure... Redneck terrorists.

This obviously proves that I was right in the debate we had on racial profiling.

Thanx for the heads-up.

CNN is reporting that two people have been arrested in connection with this.

They were thought to be two Asian men who the news is now saying could very well be middle eastern men.

It's not racial profiling, it's who wants to blow up your and my asses.

Any information on who they are, yet?

Relax...I was kidding.

I know that you were.

Yeah, two more scumbag terrorists.

Well, if they are indeed Asian, this is of no surprise to me.

[southern_accent]Them orientals can't drive for shit[/southern_accent]

When we catch ANYONE in the act of committing a terrorist attack, they should be EXECUTED on the spot. Two to the back of the head.

This world we live in is getting scarier and scarier to live in.

They may not be able to drive for shit, but they sure can build them there cars!

Isn't that giving them what they want?

Actually, the media is hinting they're from either India or Pakistan.

They can't tell Asian men apart from Middle Eastern men?

This could be said for alot of the crimes that are committed these days.

It could be said, but it'd be incorrect.

Wrong!!

That wouldn't solve the problem from happening again. You kill the terrorists' families, their friends, their neighbors and all of THOSE peoples' families.

Executing a terorrist who is CAUGHT IN THE ACT of commiting an act of terrorism would NOT be incorrect. It would be cause for a celebration!

Well then you would be just as bad as a terrorist. No, you kill the terrorist that is caught in the act.

Why is that? I bet the crime rate would go down

In the PC world in which we live today, Asian men include Chinese, Indian and Pakistani.

I'm from a different age... and I don't see whats wrong with calling someone from China, or Korea, or Japan as "oriental"... it means they're from the Orient. Whats the big deal?

Nope. We're at war. Make no mistake about that. You kill your enemies and sometimes there are casualties beyond them. Sooner or later they'll get the message.

Fuck "hard feelings". Its war!!!

They would be the ones celebrating.

Think about it. If most terrorists are of Muslim decent, and the Religious standard that backs these acts is that upon dying as a result of committing these acts, wouldn't being shot to DEATH seconds after committing the ACT be allowing them to achieve this goal? Wouldn't a more logical punishment be a life sentence behind bars? In fact, that'd be the exact opposite of achieving your goal. I think that'd be a much more suitable and coherent punishment.

Punishment isn't about what's going to feed your lust for vengeance, it's about what's going to make them regret their actions.

There are middle eastern people who can pass for Asian, Italian, Spanish, etc. just as there are Italians, Spanish and Aisian people who can pass for middle easterners.

Kill or be killed.

But in this PC world some dumbass judge would'nt put them in jail.

It may cause them to celebrate, but it would also mean that there is one less terrorist left to try and kill you and I. And over time, others who may even be thinking of joining a terorrist organization or act will begin to have second thoughts knowing that if caught they will be executed. But you and I can debate that kind of thought all day long if we want.

The bottom line is that when you find a cancer, the best way to stop it from spreading is to cut it and burn it out!

It's not a lust for vengance LLC, it's a lust for allowing my children to have a future life.

It wouldn't do anything to the crime-rate. There persons who commit the acts have already done it. If they're caught in the act, that's enough proof to incarcerate them, sentence them to the warped death penalty, or whatever the judge cooks up. Whether they are put behind bars or sentenced to death, they are off the streets, and cannot commit any more crimes. If you were to kill them after you catch them committing the crime, they are dead, and cannot commit anymore crimes.

But people are ALWAYS going to commit crime, as long as there is a structured society that presents rules that can be broken. And, I don't see anarchy catching on anytime soon, so we're not really altering the crime rate, we're just lowering the number of cases that make their way to court.

These terrorists don't give a shit about dying for their cause. Once everyone realizes that we'll be better off dealing with them.

You kill their families and neighbors and then THOSE people will realize that it'd be in their interests to give the terrorists up.

There's no such thing as playing "nicely" and "by rules" here. In a fight you fight to win... no matter what it takes.

Sonny Corleone understood that. Why don't you?

And if you were to put this terrorist behind bars, for ever and ever, that wouldn't prevent them from being able to drive trucks into airports, fly planes into buildings, plant bombs in basements, and so on?

And it's not going to stop others from joining terrorist cells. If death is what they consider the reward in committing acts of terror, then if we kill them on the spot, we're only giving them all the more reason to join up. They're guaranteed their reward, then.

Let's not try to compare a cancerous cell to a human being with a right to due process.

And, I hate to be the one to say it, but unfortunately, we can never complete save our children from terrorism. We're never going to dismantle terrorism, because there are always going to be someone who has a problem with someone else. There is always going to be unrest, there is always going to be war... We can try to decrease terrorism, and even that is going to be very, very complicated. More complicated then running amok in the streets with semi-automatic weapons, and blowing off the heads of anyone who comes off as a threat. Dismantling terrorism is even more complicated--in fact, it's an impossibility (I know, I just set myself up for a Godfather Pt. II quote)
