Explosion on London Underground

The Emperor of Mankind

Currently the galaxy's spookiest paraplegic
There was an explosion at Parsons Green station in London earlier today around 8:20am. Suspected terrorist incident. No fatalities, multiple injuries resulting from crushing when people fled the station and burns from the bomb itself. More to come; keep watching this space.

I'm sorry to see this is happening in London (again). 18 people taken to Hospital. No fatalities so far and I hope it stays that way.

These terrorist activites are being like a chain reaction, I am sure it will immediately splash to Turkey, too;

I think its "the Management of Savagery" that details some of the thinking behind Al-Qaeda and other Islamic Extremists reasoning behind terrorism. From Wikipedia:

Management of Savagery discusses the need to create and manage nationalist and religious resentment and violence in order to create long-term propaganda opportunities for jihadist groups. Notably, Naji discusses the value of provoking military responses from superpowers in order to recruit and train guerilla fighters and to create martyrs. Naji suggests that a long-lasting strategy of attrition will reveal fundamental weaknesses in the ability of superpowers to defeat committed jihadists.

Management of Savagery argues that carrying out a campaign of constant violent attacks (vexation operations) in Muslim states will eventually exhaust their ability and will to enforce their authority, and that as the writ of the state withers away, chaos—or "savagery"—will ensue. Extreme violence is emphasized.

They would be surprised if countries really turned on them, if they were successful in their plan. So far, their enemies doesn't take them seriously. What? They kill a few people who mean almost nothing to the state and have no power. That's just helpful to the rulers of the countries they strike. They aren't targeting any harder targets that would get them what they want, stronger enemies.

Today is friday, the most holly day of the week for the muslims. Today, they feel themselves more closed to God and so comes the terrorism on friday.

I am terrible sorry and angry for what happened this morning in UK, hope you are all well.

That's premature. We don't know the identity of the bomber(s) yet. So we can't make conclusions at this time.

Sounds like the Rocky Balboa strategy (which only works in movies) of letting your opponent punch your face in, letting them exhaust themselves, and come roaring back from unconsciousness to win the day.
