Pakistan/ Afganistan is one of the most backward people with no education and literacy. They don't even have technology to build a cement house to live in or grow farms in backyard. These ppl have sophisticated technology and expertise to carry out simultaneous attacks - that sounds too contradictory!!! I thought it was Indians who for any mischief in India, blames a pakistani! The weather is bad and flight was delayed - blame it on the Pakistani. It is something similar what arabs do too. The bulb gets fused, blame it on a jews. And now-a-days, Americans, UN, Europeans, thrashes Israel, blame it on Arabs and their propoganda, lol. But seriously, there is something in this document which is amiss. But, Since I am an Indian, I have to blame it on the Pakistani and I m sure they were planning to plot it!
2. To "Kuhl" in Doha

I think you are generalizing way too much. Just because someone is from Afghanistan or Pakistan doesn't mean they cannot carry out attacks. After all, where did al-Qa'ida originate from and where did they train? Afghan/Pakistan. Article is more logical than your generalizations.

For your info, Al-Qa'ida was originated and trained by the CIA. That's how they came to posses Stinger AA missiles. Usama Bin Laden was an operative!

hebrew prophet ,   israel   (09.29.10)
The so called chickens have come home to roost for Europe; Germany is a major anti-sanctions buster to the Shiite madhouse,France sells weapons to the PA ,Britain supplies arms to Pakistan which land up arming Al-Qaeda and the Taliban,thanks to the corrupt inept Pakistan ISI ,you reap what you sow?

Gideon Reader ,   United States   (09.29.10)
In the US we tend to return fire, and with a degree of accuracy that has potential Mumbai style Mus/Teers uncomfortable about success.
6. When (if) it happens in Europe they won't be able 2 say...
Cynical Israeli   (09.29.10)
that we (Israel) didn't warn them. No Sir, it will be the Europeans own fault for not listening to us, for selling the raw materials to the terrorists in the first place (the Europeans were just turning a profit), and for having a totally ignorant liberal left who has been in bed with very intelligent non-liberal extremist Moslem terrorist groups for a very long time. Sure, I'll feel sorry for them but hey you get what you pay for and the Europeans have been playing with fire for a really long time now! It is what it is and it will be what it will be...you place your bets and sometimes you take your losses. Let's hope Europe doesn't lose to big.

to take delight in others' misfortunes yet I admit to having considered with pleasure how western European countries would do a 90 degree pivot, maybe even 180 degrees, once they were severely attacked (or attacked again in the case of the UK) by al-Queda style terrorists. In this case, the terrorists were stopped before any actual harm to citizens and property could be concluded but, no doubt at all, it will occur again and will occur successfully. There is already a sea change taking place in European countries vis a vis their attitudes towards their respective Muslim populations as can be seen in the rise of Geert Wilders' political party in the Netherlands, the rise of a strong rightist party in Sweden, the banning of minarets in liberal Switzerland and the banning of burkas in France, etc. As these events continue to occur, the respective European governments will veer towards the right and the European populace will have less and less ability to accept the Muslim populations amongst them. Like the gypsies in France, Muslims refuse to integrate and are a major factor in terms of criminality and violence. Unlike the gypsies, Muslims also incubate and harbour terrorists whose purposes are to destroy the people and governments of the western world in order to reach the domination of Islam. Moderate Muslims are the best sources for containment but, unfortunately, they fear their more aggressive brothers and many may even secretly agree with them. So continued terrorist plots on European soil will turn the native population into active recoil against their Muslim populations. Combined with a severe economic turndown, all the ingredients are present for a continued, and sharp turn, to the right. The leftist faux liberalism of an outspoken portion of the population of western democracies will continue to diminish and lose power as will be detailed in forthcoming elections. In terms of Israel, the continued attempt at delegitimization will gradually halt and, in fact, Israel will be looked to as a model and teacher of methods and techniques in containing domestic terrorism. Along with that, there will be new sympathy for Israel's predicament in trying to survive in a such a hostile atmosphere.
8. Just wondering how long
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS   (09.29.10)
before the Eurabians spin this to put the blame on Israel?
9. Hypocrisy
Arie ,   BaGolan   (09.29.10)
When Israel carries out pre-emptive action to thwart terrorist attacks, the whole world starts screaming "Jew overreaction." But when the Eurabians do it, it is a "proud moment for our security."
10. #7: Sorry, it's "Schadenfreude". My mistake.

11. #6 hateful person. Hope attacks to teach a lesson??
moshe ,   Tel Aviv   (09.29.10)
You sound like you want the place to have attacks just to prove a point and glessful about any attacks to the entire European people, population of 750 million people, what a sick twisted mind you have. You are obviously American, what did the USA do to deserve the mass murder and attacks on 9/11...? I'll look out for your comments in Hebrew on the Hebrew version of this site - oh wait, you dont speak much which is why you are on the English Ynet.
12. Moshe, Moshe, Moshe
Cynical Israeli   (09.30.10)
Why is it that when liberal leftist Europeans say these things to us it is perfectly all right because they are trying to help us to see the way and when an Israeli says them it is a "hateful person speaking"?
