Tony Blair is saying we wont be terrorised but I'm scared. I came back from weymouth via Bristol and Birmingham and I found myself giving anyone with a slightly Arab-look a second glance to see if they had a suspicious rucksack. I know it's irational and slightly racist but I can't help it. These people are among us, a sleeper cell could be in your street. One thing we must not do is assume all Muslims are terrorists. 99.99% are exactly like everyone else and just get on with their lives. These nutters don't represent Islam any more than the Klu Klux Klan represent Christianity.

So what constitutes a 'suspicious rucksack'?

« **Reply #17 on:** July 09, 2005, 10:15:15 pm »

I don't know. That's why it's irational.

Or even irrational?

That was cheap.

You can't even be sure the "suspects" will be Arab-looking. Some of them have white supporters like that guy that tried to carry a bomb on a plane. He was white and British.

However, their aim is to divide and rule and we must try not to succumb.(?)

The shoebomber, Richard Read? I thought he looked distinctly Asian.

I hear Birmingham city centre was evacuated lastnight.

Yes. I was there yesterday. I think Digbeth bus station must be contender for worst place in Britain.

It's dark, dingy and grimey. But it's so much more than that. It's an embodiment of everything that's rotten and decayed about British Public transport.

that's sad.

I remember it being like that years ago when I used to regularly travel up to Brum by coach. Obviously it hasn't improved then.
