To be honest, I have no idea how this incident in Boston shows the Mayor
there is the "only politician [there] who is taking the warnings of [11 Sep]
seriously."

Of course. However, these people are a silly as you are; they
won't have that living style if they kill the Westerners who
do the work. These extremists are assuming that a slave economy
will provide the same goods and services for the same costs; they
are also mistaken in this.

Of the three Abraham-based religions, only Christianity doesn't
have rules about living styles.

Some of us prefer a quick kill rather than eating meat that's been
flooded with adrenalin.
