[Snowden] said he was unimpressed by east London’s multiracial neighbourhoods, telling one British user of the forum: “It’s where all of your Muslims live. I didn’t want to get out of the car…”
(The quote continued: “I mean it wasn’t like, ‘Hi, we’re your friendly neighborhood Muslim community. welcome to our main street,” he wrote. “It was more like, ‘SUBMIT TO THE WILL OF ALLAH. SHARIAH REGULATIONS POSTED AT ALL CORNERS.’”)
This, remember, is the same Edward Snowden who, after fleeing to Hong Kong, described his disgust at the racism shown by members of the US armed forces. “Most of the people training us seemed pumped up about killing Arabs, not helping anyone,” he said.
I suppose those same Arabs can rest assured that, even had Snowden completed his special forces training, he would have been too scared to get out of his jeep to actually kill any of them.
fouiller de vieux logs pour trouver une « amazingly racist quote » ça porte un nom : character assassination. C’était déjà là chez Fox News en juin dernier, avec d’autres « amazing quotes », notamment « leakers should be shot in the balls » :

Ce qui est incompréhensible, c’est pourquoi les sbires de Cameron ont exigé la destructions des disques durs alors que le redchef du Guardian avait clairement expliqué qu’il y avait des copies ailleurs. Je ne vois pas l’intérêt pour les services secrets anglais (ou américains) de perdre leur temps a regarder les journalistes du Guardian s’acharner sur les ordi. Ça dépasse mon entendement.
