So London’s burning? Any immediate reflections? Confusion, numbness, misdirection but below it all, a burning fire of hatred focused squarely at idiotic organized fucking religion. I hate it, faith powers suicide bombers.

But now’s not the time for analyze, it’s the time for shock and knee jerk responses.

The thing about terrorists that I find interesting is that somehow they are able to get it in their heads that they are warriors, fighters, and 'real men' that are striking a heroic blow for their side. Skipping the argument about good/evil, there is still a disconnect. Warriors fight battle against superior forces and win. D-day was a battle of 'warriors'. These terrorist have no capability to fight against real fighters, they can only go after soft targets. Take today's bombing of London. These so-called 'warriors' struck a blow by killing a bunch of bankers. That's not manly at all, that's wimpy. These guys are like the kid who gets cut from the football team so he goes home and kicks his dog to feel masculine and in control. These terrorists aren't warriors, they are pathetic little children. Don't they realize that if the US ever decided to target civilians there wouldn't be a single person left alive in the middle east? If blowing up a subway car is the best these morons can do, they and their cause are pathetic losers. If you want to earn respect fight some of our Special Forces, don't kill our bankers. Bastards.

Some idiots even tell me with grinning faces: "What makes them terrorists, couldn't they just be freedom fighters!. Fuck off, seriously, fuck right off. As soon as you start killing people indiscriminately, you step outside the rules, you are terrorizing people to achieve your ends. You are no longer just fighting for freedom you are ignoring the freedom of others, calling an Islamic Terrorist a freedom fighter is like calling Ted Bundy a freedom fighter, fighting for the rights of man to gut whores. If you’re a freedom fighter, truly a freedom fighter, go fight a war of passive aggression, of democracy and of the people like Martin Luther, Luther King or Ghandi.

For me there's a definite line, if you cross it, you aren't protected by a string of morality and may bombs fall on your family... Fucking Islam, still stuck in the Middle ages, the fundamentalist Catholic mentality, they can’t live let live, they can’t tolerate, they see it as an offence to God to let people with different view points live. We should treat them like we treat an individual who cannot live in a society, as they seemingly can’t live in this global society. Bastards.

And the bloody media just love to use evocative language and exaggerate the damage in a grim wargasm to keep people tuned in. When I switched on Fox news earlier the presenters looked like they would reach a state of high orgasm at any second, murmuring in low wavering heavy tones “Fireballs” and “Roof tops blown off”. I swear I could hear their voices breaking and panting as they read out the death toll.

“Ahhhhhhhhh yeeeeeees 50! God that was good.”

Anyhow, tomorrow it will be back to business in London, this attack achieved nothing, it was merely senseless waste, I’m not scared of our moderate Muslims, as I’m not afraid to climb on a train or a bus. And for the ineffectiveness of the whole episode, I hate the fundamentalists even more acutely. Nothing was achieved, just a few more corpses sent to bacteria.
