A government official said Friday the country's Muslims must choose between "the British way" of peaceful political dialogue and the terrorism of groups such as al-Qaida -- remarks that drew condemnation from Islamic organizations.

The comments by Foreign Office Minister Denis MacShane came a day after suicide bombers attacked the British consulate and a London-based bank in Istanbul, Turkey.

"I am disappointed with the foreign office when it should be bringing Muslims together to counter this disease that we are all fighting," he said. "What these comments do is divide and antagonize a community."

So make your choice then.

He said leaders of the Muslim community should be stronger in their condemnation of terrorism.

EXACTLY! The quintessential proof of general support for stupid muslim death tricks is silence on the part of the muslims not actively blowing themsleves (and others) to bits.

Not only are these islamic scum not protesting the violence, they say their feelings are hurt because someone tells it like it is and calls them out to take a stand. Clearly, their silence followed by complaining about being asked to take a stand is their answer. There is no such thing as an innocent muslim!

The exception is Turkish muslims who, except for some notable fringe lunatics (which can be found in any nationality - look at liberal socialist dummycraps in America, for example!), HAVE taken a stand against terrorism, and not just in the last few days!

Never trust a wahabbi (or similar) muslim or a liberal politician, both being terrorists, differing only in weaponry and technique.

"Anas Altikriti, director of communications for the Muslim Association of Britain, said the comments were "an outrage and extremely disgraceful."

.....but Anas did not say it was inaccurate, of untruthful.......
