"...But at same time they and others — from the Prime Minister downwards — are in denial when they say that because Islam is a religion of peace, by implication those who commit such acts are not true Muslims. On the contrary, this war against the west is not only being fought in the name of Islam but its aims, if not all its tactics, have been condoned by countless Islamic states and religious authorities and supported by millions of Muslims across the world. Our leaders are too frightened to say this for fear of upsetting the Muslim community..."

Ain't that the truth!

I think that it is not that they are afraid of simply upsetting the muslim commmunity, they are afraid of what the muslim community will do: commit more acts of murder. So what we have here is that we can't call a murderer a murderer for fear that they will commit more murders. It's a very perverse foreign policy AND domestic policy. In the end, I'm afraid US citizens will be left to fend for themselves while putting themselves in danger of arrest for doing a job that the government fails to do.
