“We specifically have said continue with your travel plans"

My God that reeks of fear-mongering and paranoia. I'm so afraid of....the government.

On Monday, Britain, Japan and Sweden issued warnings of their own, advising their citizens traveling in Europe to be on alert for possible terrorist attack by al-Qaida or other groups. Police officers with sniffer dogs patrolled subways in Britain on Monday, while soldiers and mounted police were dispatched to two major churches in Paris

Must be election time in the UK, Sweden, and France. Their politicians can only survive because of the fear machine that they hold over their citizens. And Japan's military-industrial complex probably needs a cash boost.

“I will catch the subways, go to the museums and enjoy. There are so many threats and this one is very vague. There is always a threat, so what’s the difference?”

This woman has so much fear she can hardly move.

“I’m very happy to be here in France. I think we’re very safe, and I trust the French government to keep us safe,” said James O’Connell, 59, of Pittsburgh.

Pure paranoia. Americans are so easily manipulated.

Contrary to what the JT fear mongers tell us it seems not all are as paranoid as those sitting at home in Japan trying to say everyone is scared s8less because of the warnings. I fear the only fear is the conspiracists who believe these governments are fear mongers. Wrap your fearful heads around that one.

And I'm willing to bet these homegrown "tourists to Pakistan" were Christian fear mongers trying to incite hatred abroad. Well these "fear tourists" have just had their citizenship revoked!!

I wonder just how many of these "Germans" and "Britons" are ethnically German or British or are Pakistanis (or similar) with German or British passports?

Mikehuntez. Now being reported on the BBC that it was 6 Germans and they were in a mosque when they were hit. So you reckon they probably couldn't find a church...

Apologies. The news source was Yahoo, ITN, and it says eight Germans, but possibly of Turkish origins.

Five in one blast?

Germans nationals in Pakistan?

Boo-yah! Nothing spells instant vaporizing extrajudicial hellfire vengeance from above like being a president who's got himself a Nobel Peace Prize to back up his threats. Good on ya, Mr Obama.

Willing to bet that it was christians disguised as muslims in a mosque to act as a suicide mission for the drones to target in on. You know with all the growing christian fundamentalists around the world now aiming at peaceful muslims.

Turkish origins? Then it's obviously nothing to do with the muslim religion or islamic fundamentalism because that just doesn't exist!! Obviously they were there for peaceful purposes and the Germans and Brits sold them out to the American terrorists to bomb because we all know their foreign policy!! Kill muslims anywhere!!

You got that right Jesus. So you still think bin Laden had anything to do with 9/11? Americans are indeed easily manipulated.

Are these real Germans trying to join alkaiduh or are they like dudes with German passports but their parents are really from Pakistan etc...??? So even if they have German passports, nationality etc...well they are just you average, "I am a poor Muslim victim in Christian Europe, so let me go to PAK etc..and get some good Mujahedeen training to teach the Christians a good lesson" kind of lads?? You know, like in the UK, France, Germany etc...

An American missile strike killed five German militants Monday in the rugged Pakistan border area where a cell of Germans

Since the press is afraid to call it what it really is, I guess this is a group of Germans that were in the movie "The Boys From Brazil." Decendants from escaped Nazi's. Not those peaceful Muslims.

Didn't the 9/11 conspirators also go to the mosques in Hamburg also?

Here's a safe prediction for you all: After the next bus full of commuters blows up in London or Berlin, the defenders of jihadists in here will blame that on the CIA and Mossad as well.

beelzebub.

Lets wait till it actually happens before we make statements like yours.

Not many people outside europe are aware that turks and arabs helped rebuild Europe after WWII. Granted was not smooth all the time and racism stil persists.

My own home-town was a major centre of jewish people before WWII and even after the 2nd WW we still got one of the highest jewish populations. Muslims are well integrated, granted we had the PLO bomb El-Al shops, etc but that is in the past.

So I find it funny when people that never lived in europe talk about the bad integration of Muslims, etc. Like they could talk about africans not being well integrated into germany.

Except we had immigrants for a few millenia now but a country with a mere 200+ history can tell us how to do it right.

We can see the shortfalls happening in the USA, etc and what will happen not to far into the future.

Europe measures history in millenia.

It is so funny when arrogant Europeans brag about how long their history is, but they somehow want to forget that if it was not for the new, upstart, USA, most Europeans would still be at each others throats, or at least living under NAZI power like slaves, so yeah, the USA is a new country, but the USA is trying not to do the same stupid things that the Europeans made mistake after mistake for a couple of thousands of years, right?? So, let the US drones do our talking, while the Europeans sit back and get drunk and smoke in cafes thinking the will be able to somehow NEGOTIATE with brain washed terrorists, MURI! MURI! Impossible!

Quote from article: Germany said it has “concrete evidence” that at least 70 Germans have undergone paramilitary training in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and about a third have returned to Germany.

Is this paranoia then?

What will these 20 something 'Germans' have been doing after returning to Europe? Putting their holiday snaps on CDs?
