A fear of offending Muslims allowed extremists into Britain before the 2005 London Tube and bus bombings, a former Labour minister with close links to the intelligence services has admitted.
(edit)
Britain ignored repeated warnings to stop granting asylum to Islamic extremists wanted in other countries for terrorism offences before the 7/7 bombings.
(edit)
After bombers killed 52 people on Londons transport system in 2005, the cable said Britain should have expected such blasts. An Algerian politician said Britain invited the attacks by aligning itself with the devil.
According to the cable, also obtained by WikiLeaks, the politician asked: Did the English consider the risks of allowing Londonistan to develop? The British thought that sheltering terrorists was a good solution, but they did not realise that one can never align oneself with the devil, and they did precisely that for years and years.
Mr Howells, who stood down as an MP at the last general election, said that even today there was a nervousness among moderate Muslims and mainstream political debate about tackling head on these inflammatory remarks.

Of course we all know that the PC fear of offending muslims has been the cause of untold numbers of terrorism-related deaths in the UK as well as in the USA and other countries, but I find it utterly contemptible that the only way, it seems, that we hear of a politician's concerns along these lines is via the treasonous Wikileaks scandal.
Simply put, politicians who don't have the backbone to to their jobs of protecting the public are enabling terrorism.
One naturally wonders how many similar documents from the Clinton 'administration' in particular were shredded in an effort to cover up their complete lack of backbone in dealing with the muslim terror threat. Kicking the can down the road is not a National Security strategy.

Who here is shocked by this?
Political Correctness is simply tyranny with manners.
