"A tip from a member of the British Muslim community about suspicious behavior by an acquaintance was alerted authorities to the alleged conspiracy, and a neighbor of the alleged plotters helped confirm those suspicions, the memo said."

what the previous qutation meant is that it was A MUSLIM WHO WARNED the British government about a possible terrorist attack
would you still be generalizing all Muslims to be terrorists even after this????

THE reason I put this question because of what George W Bush said the other day, there is no such thing as an "Islamic Facists", If the American president said this, what would the Americans say????

The news mentioned that some of those arrested were Pakistanis but also most news channels failed to mention that they got their lead with the help of the Pakistani government.
No matter how much you try to be good, americans will always generalize.

Uhm ok. It seems your position is that ALL Muslims are terrorists. This is disproven by the article you quote. A Muslim alerted the British police to the plot. Clearly at least that one wasn't a terrorist. Logic would indicate that there should be more.
This is the way I see things. Every group of people imaginable has a "vocal minority" of say 10% that make the other 90% look bad. Whites have the KKK, does that mean all white are racist idiots? No. Blacks have spiteful and hateful speakers, and gangster rap. Does that mean that all blacks are criminals or out to kill whites? No. Christians have extremists as well, but only the worst of the extremists have resorted to violence in modern times(biggest example I can think of is the guys who were bombing abortion clinics medieval history was a different matter). Do these few mean all Christians are terroristic extremists? No. The problem is that the vocal minority are the ones who make the news most.

I never thought like that.
Who told all that Muslims are terrorists.
If they are terrorists then Christians who kill people of other religion(for the sake of not following Christianity),people who hate followers of other religions are also terrorists.
This christian aggression happens in many Asian countries now.Then what about that.Is that not terrorism.This killing and terrorism must not be done just in the name of religion sake.
I donno why some people hate followers of other religions and call there gods as satans.This is the root cause for all problem.
If some people of a particular religion are terrorists not that mean that all are terrorists and the religion is false or a terrorist religion.
No god or religion asked anyone to do this.its humans who start doing all these foolish things so stop blaming the religion.If any religion asked to do so then that is false religion as many say.
I'm not a Christian nor a Muslim but both religions teaches us some good philosophies.
NAMASTE.

The religion itself makes the terrorists possible, the mosque acts as a sorting house, people who are looking for terrorist material can scout about and find likely candidates here...so moderate muslims have to be aware of their responsibility and the part they play as the terrorists come up through the ordinary ranks.

being a terrorist has got nothing to do with ones religious affiliation. and such opinions should be discourage. you should have shown some prudence while wording this question. yu have no right to balantly insult any community like this.
please appologise for the same.

I never have generalized all Muslims as terrorists. It's just plain stupid. I can understand your frustration to some extent, but it's not everyone out here. I hope eventually you'll understand that.
Peace.

You can't tar people with the same brush NOT all Muslims are terrorists. It is like saying all Americans are obese lard a*ses! You only have to open your eyes to see that is not the case. It is people like you and your views who incite racial riots and civil war!

Terrorist is one who causes terror. A policeman is a terrorist to a bad guy eg. robber. A muslim MUST be a terrorist to the anti-scoial elements of the society.
