/// Khadim Rizvi, the firebrand cleric who founded the TLP, said that condemnation of the contest by the Pakistani government was not enough and “only jihad” was the solution. ///

/// Before Pakistan’s general election last month, Rizvi said if he had the power he would order a nuclear strike against the Netherlands if its government allowed the competition to go ahead. ///

I think you are all (well mainly all) missing the point. Here we have a leader (or at least a prominent figure) suggesting that because Islam has been insulted it justifies violence of an extreme nature being visited on the country in which the insult originated. It doesn't matter whether he has the capability to carry out his threat or the power to do so. There...

Yes
That picture of a bunch of grown men parading around in pajamas in broad daylight is somewhat cartoonish.
‘Before Pakistan’s general election ...’ are probably the key words there

Where's spath when you need him?
Do you think these Muslims do not constitute a threat to the West?
This is a clear demonstration of why Islam has no place in Europe.

Yes, this is only one "firebrand cleric". But there are thousands of them. Yes, he's probably misinterpreting the Koran. But many of them do. There must be no tolerance of contrary views, no criticism of Islam. Muslims seek our tolerance but are, collectively, the most intolerant people on Earth. They have no place in a tolerant Europe.
The Netherlands is well out of range of Pakistan’s nuclear capability
Before Pakistan’s general election ...’ are probably the key words there


There you go... nothing to concern yourself about... move along.
"The Netherlands is well out of range of Pakistan’s nuclear capability"

By rocket yes. But there are other means, particularly for 'dirty' nukes

Yes but as always you are missing the point, the thought is there and they can always choose to 'downsize' a little.
A cartoon: A bunch of muslims scratching their heads and mumbling to each other whilst facing mecca and asking allah for his divine guidance as to how to fit something as big as the Netherlands into a huge microwave.
I wouldn't put it past TROP to use nukes.
Aog sometimes I have to laugh at you. I don’t mean to be rude but really :-)
Pakistan even if it were mad enough, away from the ranting of religious zealots at election time, does not possess the capability to ‘nuke’ the Netherlands or anywhere near.
Why do you ask these questions if you can’t accept the answer :-)
I realise that question this is just the launch pad (so to speak) of yet another same old same old but best in mind that you’ve had your answer to the first bit.
To be honest TTT I am surprised they haven't used a dirty nuke yet.

It will happen I am sure although perhaps the mad Mullahs realise that might be a tipping point? After all they are not that mad, certainly not mad enough to do the dirty work themselves so they probably do have some self preservation in mind.
"does not possess the capability to ‘nuke’ the Netherlands or anywhere near. "

They have nuclear weapons. They do not have to launch it from Pakistan it could be taken an detonated by someone who is happy to collect their 60 virgins.


A Dirty Nuke does not have to be delivered by Missile, nor does it need to originate in Pakistan.
Sounds to me like he’s talking about pressing the button.
Nuclear terrorism is another matter of course.
Well we have had nerve attacks here so ...
//This is a clear demonstration of why Islam has no place in Europe. //

I'm scared to comment. I keep getting told off for telling it like it is.
"Nuclear terrorism is another matter of course. "

Talk about splitting hairs.
if they did then the west would Annihalate islam from the face of the earth...surely
