Two (Muslim) Doctors Arrested In UK Terrorism
From the UK’s Daily Mail:
Out of harm’s way: Police officers hold down one of the badly-burned men outside the Glasgow arrivals hall moments after he had set himself alight.
Two doctors held over bomb attacks
While police swoop on motorway to arrest woman in a veil

Two doctors were among five people being held as terror suspects last night after the bomb plots in London and Glasgow.
One was one of two men who tried to drive a blazing Jeep packed with petrol, gas canisters and nails into Glasgow Airport on Saturday.
Police are still investigating the precise links between that attack and the two Mercedes car bombs left in the West End of London early on Friday.
Both doctors were working at UK hospitals and were apparently here legally.
The revelation raises the horrifying prospect that Al Qaeda propaganda is reaching beyond disaffected young Muslims.
“These are highly-educated, articulate and intelligent people,” one security source said.
“They are men trained to heal but they were planning unbelievable atrocities.”
Two of the five people arrested were a woman of 27 and her 26-year-old husband, boxed in by unmarked police cars as they drove on the M6 in Cheshire. Other motorists said the woman was wearing a Muslim veil.
The fifth suspect, a man, was arrested at Liverpool’s Lime Street station shortly after the city’s John Lennon Airport was closed following the discovery of a suspicious vehicle.
One of the doctors, the man arrested on the M6, was said to be a Jordanian-born doctor at the North Staffordshire Hospital in Stoke-on-Trent.
He lived with his wife and baby in a rented house in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, where forensic officers were carrying out a detailed search last night.
The doctor is suspected of having played a key role in the planning of the terror strikes.
One of the two men overpowered as they attacked Glasgow Airport has 90 per cent burns and is too badly injured to be interviewed, but the second was being questioned last night.
Police believe they are all part of a previously unknown Al Qaeda-linked cell made up of people of Middle Eastern origin.
The doctor involved in the Glasgow attack is an Iraqi who is thought to have been granted asylum in the UK while a third suspect comes from Lebanon.
At least one other member of the cell was still being hunted last night.
The arrests came on a day of fast-moving developments as police acted on what they described as a “wealth of intelligence” found in the two Mercedes car bombs in London…
It also emerged that only “technical failure” stopped the bombs spreading carnage among late-night revellers.
Mobile phones in the cars were meant to trigger a blast when they were called.
The bombers called the Tiger Tiger car twice, and the other four times, but the bombs failed to detonate.
Traces on mobile phone calls were said to have led police to a series of addresses raided in Liverpool, Staffordshire and near Glasgow.
A bomb factory is believed to have been found at an address in Scotland and more arrests are expected…
Saved: One of the would-be Glasgow suicide bombers is bravely hosed down with a fire extinguisher by a security guard as the Jeep Cherokee bursts into flames.
So much for the liberal myth that Muslim extremism is only born out of discrimination and deprivation.

Yeah - let’s replace the Hippocratic Oath with one that decries those who would stand against Islam.
You want to dismiss them as loons but realize it would be oh so dangerous to do so.

For that, I’ve always pointed out the palestinian Christians.
About 25% of the palestinians are Christians. And yet, none of the “suicide” bombers are shouting “Praise Jesus!” as they hit the button–it’s always “allahu akhbar!”. There’s no St. John’s Brigade to match with the al-aqsa Brigade. No Christian Crusade to work alongside the islamic Jyhad.
If, as libtards claim, palestinian terrorism is an unpleasant result of (or, as many of them go so far as to claim, a righteous and reasonable defense from) Israeli oppression, then how come it’s only the muslims reacting? Are these eeeeevil Jews somehow figuring out which of the palestinians are Christian and which are muslim before they start in with the “oppression”?

“Muslims” eh? That’s more than we’ve been officially told over here so far. Nothing’s been said by the government about insignificant details like the names, country of origin, affiliations or religious background of any of these suspects -so its probably those killer Mennonites again, damn them.
BTW, none of that racist profiling for us in the UK, no sir! Instead, the government has decided the best way to show those terrorists that they won’t be allowed to impact our daily lives is to drastically limit access to all airport terminals and make the millions of people stupid enough to think that purchasing a ticket actually entitles them to get on a plane and go about their business (a) leave home even earlier than before because they’ll have to get out miles from the terminal and then (b) walk for miles carrying their luggage to said terminal - its been raining for weeks now and its raining right now, so that’ll be fun for them -so that they can (c) stand around for hours being ’security checked’ before they’re told that (d) their flight’s been cancelled. Really sends a message, doesn’t it?

Yeah, those security measures…that will help. Noooot! How about a little racial profiling here. “Racial profile needed, isle one- the England department! Profile Check Isle one!
I hear that there more arrests pending. I mean…yeah! About 600,000,000 to be exact!
Why is it that we the people, have to obey the rules of the P.C. pin-heads when it come to a thing like this? Does there ever come a time when we just put our feet down and say, “No! The idiocy stops here! No more F^%$ing PC racial profiling at the airposts! We refuse to have children, Christians, grandmothers, Asian, soldiers and honest citizens lumped together with the terrorists! We the people refuse to racially pro-fu^%$ing-filed as potential terrorists! We are potential VICTEMS and we want the ’security’ to ferret out every diaper-headed potential terrorist and either hang them or send them for a long walk on a short dock. So we get a few inoccent terrorists. I am not going to complain, call them latent terrorists. What ever. I would rather error by offering too many muslims to Allah spawn of satan than to miss a few and have them muder truely innocent people, because the fact is there is no such thing as an innocent Muslim.Their silence convicts them. Their religion convicts them. Their Allah, his words have convicted them. Their prayer-rugs, veils, beards and shifty beady lying eyes convict them as the enemy of humanity.
My message; Muslims! Convert or die.

A note from the mercenary handbook: Kill ‘em all, let God sort ‘em out.

Is it wrong that I take a degree of delight at the image of the “badly burned” man accompanying this story? I believe the German term “schaedenfreude” best describes my feelings when see a guy who set out to kill and main, and instead becomes his own “victim.”
I do hope he’s in a considerable amount of pain as I type this……

Too bad we can’t get the MSM to broadcast this bastard in misery for all the would-be terrorists to see every 15 minutes for the next week or two–but they can’t blame this one on the U.S. military so they will profess extreme sensitivity in not wanting to offend someone with gruesome pictures.

The first obligation of a doctor is: Do No Harm.
Two doctors. This doesn’t quite fit with the libs world view that terrorists are poor and oppressed.
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:16 pm
According to this update from SkyNews the number of doctors is now up to five:
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:38 pm
CBS had the number as Six doctors, This might get interesting.
