LONDON (AFX) - The pound slumped to a near 19-month low against the dollar after London was rocked by a series of terror-related bomb blasts.

London's transport network was struck by four bombs during the morning rush hour, which killed at least 33 individuals and wrought widespread chaos across the capital.

I don't group them altogether. But like I've been saying all day long, now I'm sounding like my parents, no one listens hehe
The people in Iraq have got to stand up and start kicking the crap out of the insurgents in their own county. turn in your neighbor if he's a bad guy. Get this people to trial, judged and beheaded. Only way it's going to slow down.

It ain't the Muslims. It's just some fanatics, I would say a small percentage of radicals, who use the so called Jihad. They are uneducated in Western ways and lead other lesser educated people to believe that this is a Crusade by the west to conquer their lands. So, as religion is very strong over yonder, they use their good book, Koran, to influence the less educated. Threfore calling it a holy war, a Jihad.

If you look through these threads you will find a lot of good information on the Iraqi people and how glad they are that the US went in and helped them get rid of the dictatorship.

We also have heard that a lot of these terrorists are from other countries. These are the uneducated, the poor and easily influenced, the ones that have been brain washed into thinking that what they do is what God wants them to do.

Remember the Jonestown massacre? People believed this guy that what he was doing was what GOd wanted. A mass suicide.

Remember one bad apple spoils the batch.

BTW, I am not a Muslim, just wanted to elaborate. Don't hate, it's aggravating and it will raise your blood pressure.
