Was his name actually "Jamal Lindsay"? The article says he changed it to Abdullah Shaheed Jamal. So surely he is either "Germaine Lindsay" or "Abdullah Shaheed Jamal" but not some weird hybrid of the two? -- Grace Note

We ought to rename this. Google hits: Jamal Lindsay 154, Germaine Lindsay 19,300, Jermaine Lindsay 345, Abdullah Shaheed Jamal 86, Abdullah Saheed Jamal Lindsay 1.
That seems clear - Germaine Lindsay. Does anyone object if I move it? SlimVirgin (talk) 02:25, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lindsay as a terrorist

Questions have been raised as to the intent of the 4 bombers - these have been largely dismissed, but the point has been raised that no official inquiry has been carried out. In light of this, is it NPOV to include Lindsay (and the other three) in terrorist categories? What standard of proof do we need? Guettarda 03:50, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

I take offense when you place Jermiane Lindsay as a Jamaica Terrorist. True, he was born in Jamaica but he had British citizenship, hence he was British, not Jamaican. I want to know why is it that when a Jamaican born does something wrong or break the law they are styled as Jamaican wrong doers...but when a Jamaica born does something to uplift the country in which he or she resides, he or she is known as such citizen of the country of residence. If the media post the bad, can't they post the good? Why not say Lindsay is a Jamaican born British Terrorist? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.176.235.252 (talk • contribs) 17:05, 11 October 2005.

Regardless of whether "terrorist" is correct or not, should it really be pointing towards "suicide bomber"?
