Well why not wait and see IF there are any?And AS I did point out there are those muslims who are just as mystified as we are about the fuss.

The 'suicide bomber' has apologised link

Translation:

Oh bugger I might get arrested because of that.
And if I do I'll get a severe kicking in jail.
I suppose I better apologise instead of gloating and saying I'd do it again.

Not that I'm the cynical type at all.

perhaps his parents threatened to cut off his.... pocket money!

I dont care about his appology (although deserved) - he should be arrested and charged.

he needs to pay the price for his actions, some community service picking up litter at the least.

OK the only resident liberal is outa here.

Re: Should they be published in the UK?
 

It 'sounds' like a genuine apology - perhaps he had second thoughts after he'd heard the criticism of his actions.

Good for him, anyway.

Re: Should they be published in the UK?
 

but no explanation of why he did it? was he high on something at the time or just stupid? I'm still puzzled why.

hear hear :tu:

Re: Should they be published in the UK?
 

I wouldn't have thought there was any need for a reason as to why he did it - it could be any number of things. He could have been swept up in the 'emotion' of it all (for want of a better word), or he actually be a radical extremist (although I doubt that due to the fact that he has apologised). It might just be that, yep, he's a bit of a numpty.

Having said all of that, I think it takes some guts to admit that you might have acted somewhat foolishly, so fair play to him. Doesn't necessarily make what he did right, but at least he's gone some way to make amends.

Re: Should they be published in the UK?
 

I think that his parents and temple elders had seen him on telly and when he got back home from London he got the biggest b*llocking of his life and was ordered to issue that apology :D

Re: Should they be published in the UK?
 

Don't. We need all the level heads we can get on this one.

Re: Should they be published in the UK?
 

Correct me if i'm wrong, if you walked into a bank with a fake gun you would get 5yrs+ in jail.
If you strap a fake bomb to yourself and stand chanting outide an Embassy, you get slapped wrists. :confused:

Re: Should they be published in the UK?
 

We know why. He even says so (i.e. offended by the cartoons.) I suppose he was probably also caught up in his local protests.

I can understand why he did it - and I'm glad to see he appears to have realised just how wrong he was. Hopefully other 'extremists' will see his example and realise that they too have been reckless in the protests.

We don't know yet if his apology has bought him anything...

Re: Should they be published in the UK?
 

I hope he is charged and his apology is taken into account in his sentencing if found guilty.

Re: Should they be published in the UK?
 

I actually think the CPS would find it quite difficult to bring a case against him. I don't think dressing as a suicide bomber is illegal, and now he's apologised a court would have to be really trying to set an example (something they tend not to do) to proceed.

I'm actually far more concerned about the banner waving idiots who were hiding behind their masks, than one of the few people who openly protested.
