Good show, old chaps

Favorite quotes today from Almost-Blitz '07 coverage of the London bombs over the weekend:

From the "he was always such a quiet lad" file: "I am sure Mohammed does not have any links of this nature, because his history in Jordan and since he was a kid does not include any kind of activity of this nature," the father said.

From the "but he thought he'd blow them up anyway" file: "He told us people were nice and considerate and did not discriminate against them on the basis of their religion or colour," the father said.

From the "that's because the mobile phone was being used in a bomb" file: In recent days, the family had been unable to reach their son on his mobile phone and began to worry that something might be wrong.

The boy has the best quote on the latest Blitz '07: "For terrorists, they are rather crap".

I noticed that the Media was lumping in the 800 million Indian Hindus with the Muslims by referring to the terrorists as just being "south asian" rather than Pakistani. I am not aware of any Hindu radicalism going on in the UK.
