Yep.

[isthisnickcool]

Dr Bari doesn't fool me. I know there are no moderate moslems because there is no moderate koran. No, Dr Bari does not fool me. I don't believe a word he says.

[Dallas59]

Why aren't the Muslims fighting thier own kind.....Silence and speaks volumes...

"No, Dr Bari does not fool me. I don't believe a word he says."

I certainly believe the part where he threatens that they will all be terrorists if everyone doesn't place nice with them. Other than that, he is pretty much FOS.

Muhammad Abdul Bari, the secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain, fears that continued negative attitudes towards people of his faith could provoke a vast and angry backlash.

Down the road … they are already in deep doo doo.

"If that demonisation continues, then Britain will have to deal with two million Muslim terrorists — 700,000 of them in London," he said. "If you attack a whole community, it becomes despondent and aggressive."

So he's admitting that they are terrorists.

"Islamophobia" suggests it is unhealthy to be leary of those who want to kill you.

(Kind of like "homophobia" suggests it isn't healthy to distrust perverts.)

Talk about perverting language for your agenda.

[gafusa]

This is ridiculous. Many Muslims are solely responsible for the Islamophobia. The terror, slaughter of civilians, Nazi support, genocide, oppressive regimes, persecutions and killings of Jews, Muslims, and Hindus, and proclaiming the whole world should submit to Islam or die might be causing it. Things like riding around on camels killing every black person you see with machetes (Sudan) might be making Muslims look bad. I think it is the violent barbarism that is to blame.

[MeekMom]

Doesn't "Phobia" mean a fear of?
I'm not afraid of muslims, I have a healthy fear of anyone. I just don't want any rag-heads in our country. Is that asking too much, to not want killers in our country?

[motorola7]

2 million muslims in Britain. Isn't that just special.
And before ya know it, it's 4 million!

[theBuckwheat]

Let me get this straight. We have thousands of jihadist attacks on people and institutions around the world in just a few years and the media is now expressing concern that the public are starting to show a "phobia" towards those who practice that religion?

Sounds like a perfection rational aversion to me.

"Britain could face the threat of two million home-grown Islamic terrorists, says a senior Muslim leader.

Muhammad Abdul Bari, the secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain, fears that continued negative attitudes towards people of his faith could provoke a vast and angry backlash. "

If the Muslims in Britain think they can threaten the same nation who stood face to face with the NAZIs and Commies, they have a big surprise.

I hope Britain responds to this the way America should - round them ALL up and ship them ALL out.

Other immigrants have come to American and Britain with hat in hand, waiting for chance to succeed and be assimilated. These vipers arrive and DEMAND their culture and religion be accepted and their practices be implemented in British and American law.

Yet they know the very nations which spawned them kill, rape, torture, enslave, and otherwise degrade and persecute all individuals who are not Muslims - if they even allow them in to the country.

It's about time the media did something right.

[theBuckwheat]

"Phobia" in a PC context means an aversion that you are not supposed to have, an aversion that only reveals your closeminded, judgmental and extreme conservative viewpoint.

This can best be seen in the wide use of the phrase "homophobia", which does not refer to a real fear of people who practice sodomy, but instead is a pejorative label that is slapped on anyone who dares to make public how repulsive sodomy is to them. It is meant to shame you into silence.

Clearly, the media, having enjoyed some success with "homophobia" is trying for a repeat success with "islamophobia".

Sadly, this indicates that those trying to make the latter word stick are ignorant of the Three Choices that followers of Islam are required by their beliefs to offer to the unbeliever: convert, submit or die.

How can anyone possibly object to being forced to accept Islam at the point of a sword? The last journalists who were asked to do so, happily accepted the offer. There is nothing to fear about accepting the Religion of Peace. Or is there?

Convert, submit or die: choose wisely.

"Britain could face the threat of two million home-grown Islamic terrorists, says a senior Muslim leader."

I believe him wholeheartedly. What's the solution? Cave in to some idiots demands? I think the British have spent too many centuries developing their constitutional democracy to listen to some Muslim "holy man".

[popdonnelly]

Islamophobia is another name for realism.

"If that demonisation continues, then Britain will have to deal with two million Muslim terrorists — 700,000 of them in London,"

The voice of "moderate" Islam.
