The correlation is there, but I think you have the cause and effect backwards. As a society becomes more enthralled with money, they become less religious and more open to relations with the U.S. And you are making the assumption that money is the only measure of success.

Lame. It was a smoking car with a bomb in it. (How convenient that it smoked) And one that burned. A dude got burn wounds, but people would do that for a million Euros and a new identity.
Point is that it is easily faked, i know this is a Yes/No debate, at this point, requires research.
Of course i thought already about what news reports said about it. Your counter argument is the lamest one conceivable. Just admit that you believe what news reports feed you, then.
I am not at all sure what happened, wish i could believe news reports, but i cant. Many complot theories about terrorist plots exists. But i need to see the particular theories put to the test.

Also, random place, a random time should be made, to see if someone can come up of a conspiracy theory of a random time on which nothing happened. If much(convincing) 'evidence' of a conspiracy exists for that, it will diminish other conspiracy theories. Of course first set time and place, and then figure out a conspiracy theory. If one can find a conspiracy before the fifth time of picking a random place and time, then i might be convinced that it is too easy to make conspiracy theories.
I bet secularizing organization improves them in a more sense, it takes out irrational arguments, or at least arguments for which the origins are unclear.

That view is a real rarity in the Middle East. "Goat herders" was an accurate description by OrangeCrate of some other parts of the Arab world.

Why is my post lame? How on earth do you think the Glasgow airport incident was somehow "rigged?"

There were people present - this is an international airport we're talking about. Of course I believe news reports on this; somebody would have easily noticed any irregularities between what news reports were saying, and what truly happened. It's not like 9/11 - nobody died. With 9/11, people involved cannot come back from beyond the grave and say what really happened on those planes, for example. Here, no such problem exists.

This is just another weak-ass conspiracy theory, contemplated for God knows what reason. Your post is the lame one here.

Great picture, dave. Looks aren't always the measure of anything other than looks. Pictures of sheep herders can be beautiful as well.

Distrust. Not sure, why would it not be? The point is that it could have been rigged. Airport are busy.. in the terminals. They usually cover quite an area. Not exactly as if the runway is teeming with people on it. The fact that nobody died does not make me all of a sudden trust it. People would not necessarily be able to see through the possible deception either.
It is just that i do not know what to believe.
