Since when is the war in Iraq not part of the war on Terrorism? Actually, it should be the war on muslims, since they are the ones who are doing the terror. Terror is a tactic , and you can't wage war on a tactic!
The Brits are such wusses, not to take away from their accomplishment in stopping this event, that they can't call the people they arrested by their correct name:muslims. They are calling them Asians in order that they don't offend a certain community in England. When are they going to learn: The muslim community they are so anxious not to offend produced these terrorists!
"Asians" is a common term in the UK denoting individuals from south Asia. It is not conscious at all. Nothing to do with fear of offending Muslims. Its just a catch-all expression in the UK. No more, no less.
We call all people from the Indian Subcontinent 'Asians', whether they're Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Muslim or Christian.
Could you tell this Reid bloke to STFU by the way? We're not interested in his opinion at all.
Funny thing is, they offend other "people of Asian descent": Hindus, Sikhs & Christians... The Met Police of London even advertised on one of the main Muslim websites to recruit... After 7/7. I have a screenshot somewhere.
