Thread Name: Salman Rushdie - Outrage.
Subject: RE: Salman Rushdie - Outrage.
I look at patterns, Ron. And so far, I've been able to make quite a few predictions that way (invasion of Iraq, for instance, long before very many other people were predicting it), as well as being able to see through quite a few subterfuges on the part of the US and UK governments. Ones that are generally accepted as subterfuges by the majority of people now, such as the bogus reasons for invading Iraq. You don't have to believe me, but I trust my track record.

The people who benefit in the UK are the same ones there who benefited with from the Iraqi invasion. This time, it's to shore up sagging support for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as softening people up for war against Iran (as I already pointed out here in this thread). Any time the West does something that pisses off large numbers of Muslims, that is what it's all about.
