It’s tough be a suicide bomber when you’re lying dead on the ground with five bullets in you.
“One of the police officers was holding a black automatic pistol in his left hand.
“He held it down to him and unloaded five shots into him. I saw it all. He was dead, five shots. I was literally less than five yards away.”
This is a good sign in the war on terror: Muslims fear ’shoot to kill’ policy.
BRITISH Muslims fear police are operating under a “shoot to kill” policy after a man was gunned down at an Underground train station following a second wave of bomb attacks. The Muslim Council of Britain called on police to explain why the Asian man, reported as a “suspected suicide bomber” by Sky News, was shot dead at Stockwell station in south London.
…
A Muslim Council spokesman said Muslims were “jumpy and nervous”, and feared reprisal attacks.
“I have just had one phone call saying: What if I was carrying a rucksack?,” Inayat Bunglawala said, referring to the rucksack bombs used in the London attacks.
“It’s vital the police give a statement about what occurred (at Stockwell) and explain why the man was shot dead,” Mr Bunglawala said.
“We are getting phone calls from quite a lot of Muslims who are distressed about what may be a shoot-to-kill policy.”
When it comes to potential bombers, shoot-to-kill should be the starting point.
No doubt the facts will be brought to light soon enough. The left in this country and the UK are holding their breaths praying for this man to be innocent. They will soon be demanding answers and accountability. Much louder than they did after the 7/7 bombings, if they did at all. Can’t a foreign looking man wearing an oversized coat in warm weather run from the police in a subway two weeks after a terror bombing? And that’s without a Patriot Act!
Here is a great headline from PakTribune (notice the quotes) — Police ‘kill man’ on London Tube — Must be lost in translation. Or was ‘man’ a last minute edit for ‘terrorist’?

Gee, weren’t they “jumping for joy” when the WORLD trade center was still burning? Guess they missed that part in the Koran about leaving the “people of the book” alone, From The Book: “As you sow, so shall ye reap”. Sow hatred & confusion for 4 years, use civilian garb to dress your kamakazies & you can expect civilian casualties on your side as well, keep “Flying” the Black Flag don’t suprised if scalping doesn’t come back in fashion too!
