Terrorist Murder In London Could Revive Snooper's Charter 307
judgecorp writes "Supporters of the Communications Data Bill (also known as the Snooper's Charter) have lost no time in calling for the Bill to be revived, in response to yesterday's brutal murder of a soldier on the streets of Woolwich, South London. The Bill would have allowed monitoring of all online communications — including who people contact and what websites they visit — but was shelved after Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg opposed it, effectively splitting Britain's coalition government on the issue. Now the fear of new terrorism could rekindle support, based on the argument that even 'lone wolf' attackers use the Internet."

Really? How was the murder of a British soldier in the middle of the street in broad daylight by two individuals who were yelling "allahu akbar" and saying they were doing it for revenge against Brits for "murdering" muslims in "muslim countries" TERRORISM? Maybe you can visit http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/ and learn something... like that there have been over 20,000 terrorist attacks perpetrated by muslims in the name of islam SINCE 9/11/2001, that have left thousands dead and maimed?
And how many more bodies will it take before fruitcakes like you stop claiming this was yet another "false flag" to besmirch the good name of "the religion of peace"?

Because that area is rife with muslim hatred against everyone else and this has been brewing for a long time. The culprits also claimed it was a reaction to the wars being waged in their lands by us Westerners. In summary:
1. religious based attack
2. muslims killing non-muslim
3. stated reason
Perhaps if the West wasn't murdering civilians with their drones on a near daily basis, these two muslims might not have been so angry?
Wait a minute... let us look at WHY the west is hunting these people with drones... oh... now it makes sense, you know the whole terrorism thing... civilian casualties are regrettable but the real targets are worth killing.
