Related to the 4 Oct 2010 news piece "Dozens of [color="#FF0000"]Europeans[/color] (i.e European passport holders) in terror training" in Pakistan, that is already pasted at IF, I see (post #367).
The media used to hide them under the universalising yet unfounded "South Asian" label. Now the islamoterrorists are being camouflaged under the "Europeans" and "Germans", "Britons" etc tags. Logical development, and the irony of it is ... satisfying, or would be, except when you think straight and realise this works out bad for all in the long run.

Neither AmeriKKKa nor even Britain are very sensible in this matter, but I'm thinking at least Europe may still have the sense to realise to term the "islamic jihad" as such, instead of couching it under terms of unaffiliation (mere "terrorism"). Just like even the whole concealment of the driving identity of these muslim terrorists - i.e. their identity is the ideology of islam, all else is irrelevant - under non-identifiable terms like "South Asians"/Europeans/Germans/Britons (all of them, *including* the first) is going to have greater repercussions on their future than their naivete at present leads them to think. Simple measures like these, when implemented in timely fashion, can be surprisingly helpful in the fight against the islamic jihad and its growing hold on Europe. For one thing, it creates awareness and wakes people up from a stupour that has managed to get others in its grip.
Because if Europe goes down that other path - and hiding the identity of the attackers is among the most defining of the early steps - it will make itself the kind of standing target that Bharatam-secularised-to-India is now (much of the thanks owing to secular/sensitive Indians who will never point to christoislamism in anything and won't let others point out the all-important identity of its assailants either). India is useful as a lesson in Too Late and why nothing is a substitute for common-sense - especially not the kind of [christosecular] brainwashing Indians have been inflicted with and now inflict themselves with, pretty much like its some addictive drug. (Actually India - or rather Indians - are a tragic warning lesson in a great many things...) But in this matter, Europe isn't senseless yet; I still meet people daily who show up the stark difference.

Quote:US strike kills 5 German militants in Pakistan

BERLIN - An American missile strike killed five German militants in the rugged Pakistan border area where a cell of Germans and Britons at the heart of the US terror alert for Europe - a plot US officials link to al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden - were believed in hiding.
The attack, part of a recent spike in American drone strikes on Pakistan, came as Germany said it has "concrete evidence" that at least 70 Germans have undergone paramilitary training in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and about a third have returned to Germany.
Authorities across Europe have heightened security at airports and other travel hubs as well as at main tourist attractions following the US warning of an al-Qaida-linked terror plot targeting London, Paris, Berlin and other European capitals.
Washington warned Americans over the weekend to use caution when traveling in Europe and imposed a curfew on some US troops based in Germany. On Monday, Britain, Japan and Sweden issued warnings of their own, advising their citizens traveling in Europe to be on alert for possible terrorist attack by al-Qaida or other groups.
Police officers with sniffer dogs patrolled subways in Britain on Monday, while soldiers and mounted police were dispatched to two major churches in Paris - Notre Dame in the heart of the city and Sacre Coeur on the Right Bank. Paramilitary troops were also seen patrolling the area around the Eiffel Tower - twice evacuated in recent weeks for unspecified threats.
The US missile strike in Pakistan killed five German militants taking shelter in a house in the town of Mir Ali in North Waziristan, a known hub for foreign militants with links to al-Qaida, Pakistani intelligence officials said.
The terror cell said to be behind the Europe plot -- eight Germans and a Briton -- were believed to have been in hiding in the region. A second Briton was killed in a US strike last month.[color="#800080"]
(The earlier 4 Oct news item mentions that the intended islamic attacks on European locales were apparently modelled on the islamic jihad on Bharatam's Mumbai. A testament to what christofunding from US/British/other European to TSP and to Indian christoislamania can accomplish. And AmeriKKKa arms them besides. Plus the protective coat is by christomedia in India and overseas.)[/color]
A German Foreign Ministry spokesman said Monday that his office was checking the report of the latest killings. He declined to be named in keeping with policy.
However, the German police agency responsible for terrorism investigations, the Federal Criminal Police Office, said as many as 220 people have traveled from Germany to Pakistan and Afghanistan for paramilitary training, and at least 70 have received it. A Pakistani intelligence official last week said there are believed to be around 60 Germans in North Waziristan now.
Despite the growing evidence of a terror plot, France, Britain and Germany -- the nations believed to be the targets of the scheme -- have not changed their terror threat levels. On Monday, the German government played down the fears by declaring there is "no reason to be alarmist."
The threat is being viewed differently by Washington and European capitals, and some analysts said it was a matter of approach. Such differences have played out repeatedly in the years since the 9/11 attacks on the United States, they said.
British intelligence prefers to keep targets under surveillance as they plan attacks, often waiting until the final stages to intervene -- hoping to gather evidence and to gain information about contacts in Britain and overseas.
"That cuts significantly too close to the bone for the United States. They are not happy to let plots run for too long," said Tobias Feakin, director of national security and resilience at London's Royal United Services Institute, a military think tank.
In Germany, the homeland security spokesman for the main opposition Social Democratic party said there is a different security culture in Europe and the United States.
"After 9/11 there were almost daily warnings of new threats in the US which -- thank God! - never became a reality" in Germany, Dieter Wiefelspuetz said.
In Washington, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said Monday that the travel advisory was issued because of extensive evidence of a plot.
"We felt, having tracked intelligence over a lengthy period of time, it was appropriate to issue this alert at this moment," he said.
"We specifically have said continue with your travel plans, but just be cautious because we are aware of active plots against the United States, American citizens and other allies around the world."
German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere insisted his nation had no concrete evidence of an imminent attack. "There is no reason to be alarmist at this time," de Maiziere said.
He said he had spoken with US Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano about the travel advisory and that it is not "in keeping with our assessment of the situation."
In a rare public speech last month, MI5 director general Jonathan Evans warned that the risk of attacks can never be completely eradicated.
"We appear increasingly to have imported from the American media the assumption that terrorism is 100 per cent preventable and any incident that is not prevented is seen as a culpable government failure. This is a nonsensical way to consider terrorist risk," Evans said.
Many tourists said they planned to be vigilant but would not change their plans.
"I'm very happy to be here in France. I think we're very safe, and I trust the French government to keep us safe," said James O'Connell, 59, of Pittsburgh.
Hannah Haskins, an 18-year-old from Portland, Oregon, who has been in Spain for a month working as an au pair, said she is headed to Britain next week for a visit and will be on guard but not obsessed with the terror alert.
"I probably will be alert and it is going to be high on my mind, but it won't change my plans," she said.
"I will catch the subways, go to the museums and enjoy. There are so many threats and this one is very vague. There is always a threat, so what's the difference?"
