Terrorism arrests on my doorstep (almost)

[Ashwyn]

Terrorism is a political discussion, and, frankly, you are the one who brought it up by creating this thread.

You completely missed the point of this thread.

Thread-Locking Infestation

I'm not sure why you're so hostile since AFAICS I don't disagree with you on anything substantive.

No hostility here ... but, honestly, I'm surprised they haven't locked this thread already.

Besides, I'm not disagreeing ... I'm merely pointing out that your neighborhood is not necessarily infested with terrorists.

 

[The Thayan Menace]

Okay ....

You seem to be slagging me off for being concerned about the safety of my family. I don't find that logical.

I would never fault you for caring about your family ... I'm just saying that it pays to keep an open mind, that's all ....

Noone ever said it was. You are inferring.

The Point

You completely missed the point of this thread.

Which is?

Frankly, the point seems to be:

"I am afraid that my neighborhood is crawling with terrorists."

Inference

Noone ever said it was. You are inferring.

Oh, really?

I agree. Apparently the police think it is though, which does raise the possibility. Maybe that possibility is under 50%, but it exists in a more concrete form than it did yesterday.

Oh, really?

Show me where S'mon used the word "infested".

Terrorists & More Terrorists

I am feeling fear because the police believe there are terrorists in my neighbourhood. Actually this isn't the first instance, we found out yesterday that a well known chap the US is trying to extradite for alleged web-based terrorist-related offences, who has been in custody since last year and who has a large & vocal media campaign to free him, lives a few minutes' walk (edit: like, 2-4 minutes) from our house.

Are you seriously trying to tell me that this statement does not communicate fear of an entrenched terrorist presence?

Caught in the Logic Labyrinth

Show me where S'mon used the word "infested".

That's paltry literalism, and you know it.
