At least, the mother was over the moon about it. Jeepers.

And here are some details about baby Molotov cocktails. Pas de probleme, would say Pepe -- who cares, as long we eat cake and sip Perrier. And besides, it's all the fault of Bush and those damn Ricains, parbleu!

Way to go Scotland Yard. I wonder if this dude is gonna take out his beautiful infidel sister?

Tecumseh said...

This dude looks straight out of Clockwork Orange. You guys seen that movie?

My Frontier Thesis said...

His photo is that of a typical British hooligan.

Clockwork Orange, yes, a brilliant flick. Definitely a no-popcorn kind of movie. On more contemporary flicks, have you seen Wes Anderson's, "Rushmore" or "Life Aquatic"?

Hmmmm... With Bill Murray, huh? OK, I may get the DVD. Trekking to the megaplex takes too much energy in this kind of weather...

But, going back to British hooligans: in teh good ole days, they would attack at most a helpless chap in the woods, or something. This combination of hooligan + jihad is something altogether new, n'est ce pas? I wonder whether there is a pop-psych explanation for such a combustible mixture.

Yes, I tend towards the controlled environment of DVD home-viewing instead of going out to the theatre. I haven't tried it yet, but I have friends who are pretty impressed with netflix.

The Anglo-jihadist is, from my knowledge, a pretty new phenomenon. Historically speaking, the Brits are familiar with decapitation, but not to the degree of the French. And it wasn't as culturally abhorrent to decapitate back in the day, although, as David Hume reveals in his History of England, humans had a tendency back in the day to cloak their barbarity in saint-hood:

The saint, resigned over to superior guidance, was at full liberty to gratify all his appetites, disguised under the appearance of pious zeal. And, besides the strange corruptions engendered by this spirit, it eluded and loosened all the ties of morality, and gave entire scope, and even sanction, to the selfishness and ambition, which naturally adhere to the human mind.*

*David Hume, The History of England, Vol. 5, Ch. XLV, "James I".

If the f%cker wanted discipline, to "make a go" of his life, all he needed to do was enlist in the Royal Marines...sounds more like he wanted to get some of that Orangy Clocky Ultraviolence under his IslamoDroogish belt. The Cholka.

His mother no doubt waxed over that crescent moon. Net she's waning about now.

Rushmore, a very wryly funny movie. Not yet seen "The Life Aquatic".

AI, if we babbelfish "Baby" from English into Jihadi, do we get as output "all purpose aerotransport incendiary deconstructive mechanism"?

Can we not all agree on this much? Some sisters do not deserve their brothers [flip the position of "brothers" and "sisters" and nothing is lost]?
