Crotchbomber? Did you think that up, subby? It amuses me.

An interesting point, though. Moderate Islam is indeed generally found in that part of Nigeria, not the more radical sects. But in London, he can hobknob with plenty of much more radical types.

Ahh, well. Long as the wannabes keep being this stupid, we got no problem.

The crotchbomber came from wealthy background, probably had a cushy upbringing with all the best education daddy could buy.

And this is what we get for it.

Bet dad notices him now.

I'll show you a crotchbomber





/Hopes the word sticks.

It's for sure he didn't get any kind of education in Nigeria.

Bush's fault.

"The natives are revolting!!!"

"Yes. Aren't they?"

Al Qaeda University

They've probably got a point. All he learned at home were 419 scams.

Any home-schooled Nigerian would be more than satisfied beating his wife to a pulp for blinking out of turn and not need to resort to such global atrocities.

Yeah, I mean... like Nigeria could do anything half as interesting as radicalize some Muslims. It's freaking Nigeria.

...can Nigeria get a break?

I read an article earlier today that said he had been 'radicalized' in a UK mosque.

Crotchbomber? I'm certain you and the bomber both pulled your bombs outta your asses, Subsky.

More and more it becomes clearer why the West managed to develop all the 'cool' shiat that everyone else now wants desperately.

Mohammed Atta became significantly more radical during his time in Germany. I suppose it's the radical Islam version of the sweet demure small-town girl going to college and turning into a porn star by the time midterms roll around.

f-ing Crotchbomber...I have to fly home tomorrow and thanks to Crotchbomber, the airports are going to be fun.

F-ing Crotchbomber

From everything I read about the dad (raised his son well, sent him to good schools, tried to cut off his funding to get him to come home but someone else was 'taking care of him' in Yemen, reported his own son to Nigerian and US authorities)...

Well, I'm having a hard time mustering up ANY ill will towards the dad.

Duh, he went to university in London.

No trolling, the UK has a huge problem with extremist Ismalists, and the government seems to be either incapable or unwilling to deal with the problem. Probably a combination of both; the muslim community is a huge voting base in council elections for Labour. I`m not equating all muslims with muslim extremists, but the government is loathe to crackdown lest they disenfranchise some of the more... sensitive members of the community who might see it as racism and xenophobia.

I am enjoying the "Crotchbomber" moniker very much.

He was just practicing.

/testes firing, as it were

Sorry bro, we are fresh out of 40 acres and mule.

Figures, NWA warned us about the 'Black terrorist showing out for the Arab terrorist'

StreetlightInTheGhetto: in Yemen

That place is turning into the worst parts of pre-Oct '01 Afghanistan and early '90s Mogadishu. The separatist conflicts in both north and south are steadily widening in scope. The Saudi military recently has had to deploy combat troops on the border. It is a situation with possibilities for (further) significant regional destabilization.

"Everyone knew the Mutallabs and the father is honest, generous, helpful and above all a prominent banker"

Because we all know bankers are the honest, generous, and helpful types...

Why do these idiots try to light up in their seat instead of locking themselves in the bathroom?

Sounds like a prince of a man.

MIguy: Why do these idiots try to light up in their seat instead of locking themselves in the bathroom?

Well, now that they know it takes over an hour for the spastic crew to get the door open...

On the positive side, the next round of idiots should die from smoke inhalation rather than needing other passengers to intervene.

Nigerian bankers have to be. No one knows why, but the ones without close friends and family tend to die young....

Yep. It's been brewing for some time, too. The USS Cole was bombed in a Yemeni port in 2000, for chrissakes.

Actually, it's not that far off:

snugglyhugs: Is there any way it could have worked?

Let's say you could have 20lbs of bomb material in your crotch (it was probably a lot less than that)

Is that enough to blow a passenger jet out of the air?

All it takes is one good hole in the fuselage.

I don't believe this.

I've got a trig midterm tomorrow and I'm being terrorized by Umar the killer crotchbomber.

I prefer the nickname Mr. Sizzle-Pants.

Yemen to that!

Indeed, conflict, particularly in the north and mountainous areas (primarily Shi'a) has been simmering for years, but the last few months have become even more 'exciting' than the normal background level. It will be interesting to see when/if there is any US reaction, seeing as the Sana'a government receives a fairly significant amount of US aid in exchange for not releasing some of our Al Qaeda friends and for use of Aden.

Norad: I've got a trig midterm tomorrow

Which school has exams between Christmas and New Year's?
Is it in Nigeria?

fragMasterFlash: Crotchbomber? I'm certain you and the bomber both pulled your bombs outta your asses, Subsky.

no, today's scare was the ass-bomb.. get your stories straight.

Who do the Nigerians blame for the guy that had a 1 hour long shiat?

What Al Qaeda University might look like

Dirka...dirka... Muhammad jihad

More like dad buys him the best of everything but leaves an emotional void. So is that dad's fault? I'm sure dad just wanted the best of everything for his precious little son.

Bears some similarity to the paintball park I visit in Valencia...

I blame it on his being Muslim. If he had been Lutheran or Buddhist, I doubt a foreign education would have radicalized him enough to try and blow up a plane.

Ship Little Black Osambo to Gitmo for an all-you-can-eat cockmeat sandwich buffet.

Nigeria has some serious issues between Muslims, Christians, and Indigenous religionists--often along geographical and geopolitical lines.

Heh, heh...CROTCHBOMBER...I dig it, Subby.

give me doughnuts: I blame it on his being Muslim. If he had been Lutheran or Buddhist, I doubt a foreign education would have radicalized him enough to try and blow up a plane.

This happened in 1988 at 24,000 feet and the plane landed fine

That was structural fatigue, this is the pic you are looking for

I blame the whole post elementary school education system that has failed us all. In the long run, was that Middle School/High School/University/College education really needed? Whether you are flipping burgers, steaming milk, or lighting your crotch on fire, it is the liberal arts/social studies education that radicalized you.

I've seen the map, and as if I'm gonna listen to a bunch of Nigerians debate it anyways. Please.

give me doughnuts: I blame it on his being Muslim. If he had been Lutheran or Buddhist, I doubt a foreign education would have radicalized him enough to try and blow up a plane.

Now if he'd been BAPTIST....one shudders to think of the carnage.

Lutheran terrorists are home grown (new window).

Buddhists tend to do their violence in the name of the State, as Japanese soldiers did in their rape of China during WWII, and let's not forget the political violence and repression in Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar.
