    Default Al-Qaeda E-Coli cucumber attack on Europe?

    Ok may be odd, but not impossible, they have threatened with biological warfare, it is easy, inexpensive, and causes great fear.
    Spain and Germany have large Muslim community and in Spain they are very tied to agriculture,most of the agricultural workers come from north Africa,where al Qaeda has been active.
    It may seem like a conspiracy theory, but the fact that the governments not even have mentioned this possibility in the media shows a certain fear.
    But surely am I being paranoid, nobody else, or very few, believe they were capable of doing this.

    They'd claim responsibility. Would be totally worthless action otherwise.

    Your "better judgment" was incorrect.

    Spain is in no way linked with the problem, the bactery may have mutated in some part of the process that goes from the transportation to the selling in the markets, or even not be linked at all with any vegetable but with other source of infection still unknow.

    Thigs may change when new analysis come out but i think your going so -so- far with your idea about the infection and its link with Al-Qaida.

    I’d like to know why don’t people wash their food properly before they put it in their mouths?!>?!
    Didn't they have mothers?

    Since we’re asking dumb questions I’ve got a tangential one.
    Why did Osama Bin Laden have so much porn?
    It can’t all be for hiding secret messages in. He had stacks of the stuff.
    If they got a life and put down the porn monster for 5 minutes maybe these Al Qaeda types would be nicer.

    your first source appears to be satire, there is no evidence that Muslims or Al Qaeda are linked to this.The second source makes no mention of Muslims or Al Qaeda so perhaps you're just seeing what you want to see.

    Now now Babur, don't ruin this


    @OP:

    I really doubt it. A rather ineffective attack so far I'd say.

    Just what the Spanish needed right now - a collapse in veg exports. Bailout ahoy!

    EDIT: OP linking The Spoof (!) as source with a straight face - genius.

    That might make a nice movie, but it wouldn't happen in any significant proportion.
    Some things that you should understand:

    • Muslims communities are not a source of danger. The proportion of extremists to decent people is negligible.
    • The fact that governments have not mentioned this is not an indication of how potent the threat is. Governments aren't mentioning the remote possibility of Nazis hiding in Antarctica, doesn't make it likely that there are.

    The Spanish cucumber obsession is just a media distraction until the time is right to emerge riding the Emperor penguins.

    Highly doubt it really, such E-Coli can easily be naturally spread, it's a big assumption to claim humans organised the spread of it.

    Conspiracy theories now involve cucumbers.

    "Steps to be taken in case Russia should be forced out of war considered. Various movements [of ] troops to and from different fronts necessary to meeting possible contingencies discussed. Conference also weighed political, economic, and moral effect both upon Central and Allied powers under most unfavorable aspect from Allied point of view. General conclusions reached were necessity for adoption of purely defensive attitude on all secondary fronts and withdrawing surplus troops for duty on western front. By thus strengthening western front [those attending] believed Allies could hold until American forces arrive in numbers sufficient to gain ascendancy."
