Friends,
You may have heard that German police arrested some surely well-sorted and well-adjusted individuals last night. Apparently these fine, upstanding lads were planning to blow up pubs, airports, and Ramstein Air Base. Surely their motives were misunderstood. They harbored an intense hatred for the United States, but hey! who doesn’t? My guess is that they were simply hoping to get on the air base to start a cosmetology school. What else could explain this from the AP:
German Federal Prosecutor Monika Harms said the three, two of whom were German converts to Islam, had trained at camps in Pakistan run by the Islamic Jihad Union, a group based in Central Asia. They had obtained some 1,500 pounds of hydrogen peroxide for making explosives.
Islamic hairdressers. Yeah, that’s it.
