Again: "Diverse" Group Brings Terrorism To Britain

Ah, yes. The return of diverse groups drawn from all strata of society. No commonalities between them whatsoever.

Diverse group allegedly in British plot

[um, only the media is "alleging" the "diversity" of this group]

LONDON - They had diverse backgrounds, coming from countries around the globe, but all shared youth and worked in medicine. They also had a common goal, authorities suspect: to bring havoc and death to the heart of Britain.


The eight people held Tuesday in the failed car bombing plot include one doctor from Iraq and two from India. There is a physician from Lebanon and a Jordanian doctor and his medical assistant wife. Another doctor and a medical student are thought to be from the Middle Eas

This diverse-group-from-all-strata-of-society is even stupider than most. Given, of course, they're all radical Muslims, which is a non-diverse factor right there. But even if we ignore that point -- which this article, of course, strains to do -- all of the members of the group were 1, doctors or spouses of doctors, 2, ergo educated, 3, specifically educated in the Middle East, who 4, had come to Britain, to 5, work in Britain's NHS.

So, let's see: Same area of origin, same profession, same level of education, same employer, same country of residence, same religion, same ideology, same social class, same (we can guess) income level.

Same native language, same status as immigrant workers, same pathway to their jobs, same social circles. (Two of the bombers had been introduced years before by their fathers, who were friends.)

Same hobbies and interests: Chiefly, mass murder.

Has there in all of human history been a less diverse group of people?

In what way were these motherfuckers dissimilar at all? What, one favored fuel-air bombs while another was partial to nitrates?

Thanks to steve_in_hb. It's gone from dark comedy to black farce at this point.

A diverse group of Clone Troopers, sharing identical
DNA, birthplace, schooling, training, experience, employer,
tactics, armament, and psychological profie,
drawn from wildly differing strata of a clone hatchery,
are the principle suspects in executing the Jedi-murdering "Order 66."

3 The authorities suspect they wanted to bring havoc and death to Britain. They very well might have had a different motive.

6 I'm going to wait for psychiatrists to update the DSM IV to include political correctness as the newest mental disorder where someone goes to great mental lengths to consciously/unconsciously block out certain facts.  It's like supressed memories or something.

All of this is just fucking absurd.

Then again, they're making it awfully easy these days, aren't they?

If it wasn't so sad, it would be funny, the level ofcluelessness exhibited by the writer of the story that prompted the link; can they be this stupid"

a Saudi born Jordanian Palestinian;  several Indian, at least two Iraqis, including the one who was fighting the people trying to put himself out; The Independent :line from the 'former'? Hizb-u-Tahir member; that's the Global caliphate boys' is paticularly suspicious because of the Shiite 'tank' which will become the rationale for this attempt; as if the Shias had tanks. He's as believable as the IED maker; wannaby MIT student, Seif Abdullah that Time's Apurism 'Bobby' Ghosh profiled with pride two weeks ago; or Abu Ali, the French student turned insurgent, that Brian Bennett chose to profile side by side with a trooper from the 101st AB Division, for balance

16 Oh, come on. Some of them had beards, some didn't. Diversity in action, people, open your eyes!   I caught that pathetic excuse for reporting on the Yahoo main page. I say we give the 'diverse group' some gasoline and let them finish their self-immolation.

17 Diversity is a real turn-on. I don't want to sound queer or nothin', but sometimes, I just need to get plowed.

19 All this does is remind me of the story about the "Diversity Panel" put together by the New York Times, CBS, and Time.  It consisted of a white Marxist, a black Marxist, a gay Marxist, a lesbian Marxist, a native American Marxist....

21 ROD (the Religion Of Diversity).  The APA would never include political correctness in the DSM IV.  They're kind of resistant to featuring themselves.

Now what's the one thing that this diverse group has in common? 

They're all doctors!  Sworn to the hippocratic oath !

Oh wait! What?  They have something else in common?  What's that?

25 The British aren't very choosy in their doctors are they?  I believe it's rather difficult to practice medicine in this country if your degree is from outside the U.S.  But these little Mengeles joined the NHS soon after arriving in Britain.

27 It's quite simple, really.  Modern liberals love diversity.  Modern liberals love terrorists.  Therefore when they describe terrorists as diverse, they're just using it as a term of affection.  It's modern Leftspeak for "doubleplusgood."

28 Ah the grievances of the disaffected heathcare worker.

Those doctor terrorist were not creating car bombs because of Islam. They were protesting the British single payer healthcare system and the long waits for basic procedures that their patients must endure.

Same native language

They probably didn't all have the same native language.  Indian, lebanese, iraqi and jordanian muslims would grow up speaking different native languages.  Of course, they would all have to learn some Arabic in order to study the Koran.

43 I will have a hard time buying ugg classic cardy at normal brick and mortar store for now on knowing that I can browse the largest selection I have ever seen and purchase confidently. Thanks for being a great company.Although your ugg boots cardy website is entered by users, the site has a lot of accurate and useful information on it.your net shop is kept to a minimum and favours websites connected to the ugg cardy boots Web Design Library in appearance and subject.
The popular blue ugg is renowned for its comfort. But some doctors worry that the popular black ugg could cause serious foot pain in the long run.So some podiatrists across the country are telling ugg classic cardy lovers to watch their steps. In fact,there is nothing wrong!
The crochet boots online retailer also knows bargain-hungry shoppers are scouring the Web for discounts, and its UGG Classic Crochet rivals are more than happy to provide them. So it is putting coupon codes on ugg classic crochet that customers can use to save money on its site.
