Damn It, Jim; I'm a Doctor, Not a Jihadist!


Five people from Glasgow to Cheshire to Liverpool have been arrested in Britain in connection with the recent bombing attempts with more to follow over the next few days.

Interestingly, two of the five are physicians.

So much for the "poor and disenfranchised" theory of Jihadism.

Still, it's perplexing that we keep finding so many people from such diverse backgrounds and over such a wide area of the country involved in terrorist attacks. I keep looking at the news reports for something that they all have in common, but it still remains a mystery.

    Well if you speculate that the perpetrators were white, then they are obviously Neolithic, knuckle-dragging Neo-Nazis vying against the xenophile nature of the progressively enlightened British government.

    If these freedom fighters were recent immigrants, then they are obviously bringing attention to the needs of their disenfranchised people; no doubt courtesy of the inaction of the neglectfully discriminate British government.

    And if, on the *off chance* that these attacks were undertaken by people of non-Israeli Middle Eastern descent--for some sort of religious reason--then you’re a racist.

    Urk; writing this has brought about an odd taste in my mouth--bilirubin, perhaps? I should write Kos and seek a patchouli-based home remedy...
