Police fears of threat to Muslims

The police have increased their presence in areas with Muslim populations in the UK to deter attacks after the latest terror arrests.

Doesn't say who'd be instigating the attacks, now, does it?

Could it be the police have concerns about.....Muslims instigating attacks?

Police fears of threat to Muslims Amazing how the headline never reads "Most feel threatened by Muslims", isn't it?

More amazing is this fact: In Iraq the Muslims are in fear of other Muslims. It is OK for Sunnis and Shias to hate and fear each other in Iraq, but the British people should remain neutral in regards to suspicions of Muslims in their own country. Doesn't quite make sense, does it?

'The head of the Muslim Council of Britain said Muslims were "fully behind" efforts to prevent attacks."
Which means that one needs to watch one's back and that's distracting from the immediate task at hand - the efforts to prevent attacks. It would be better if they were "fully in front".

What's truly amazing is that you never see these protests and these flags and crowds over in the country/countries they so love and adore.

These people want to be British citizens, or American citizens because the country they fled was so terrible, yet they still want to speak their native tongue and fly the native flag and defend the enemy.

(smacking self in forehead) I just don't get it.

Like Brutus.

If you heard Melanie Philips discuss her book, Londistan, on Rush at noon today, you got a good idea of how far the UK has bent over backwards for these idiots. That big mosque they're building in London is financed by a known terrorist/Muslim org. But that's okay.

If they are so afraid, take all muslims into protective custody and put them in a camp somewhere ... maybe the village of Unst in the Shetland Islands would be a nice spot.

Or even better ... Cormoros Island near Madagascar would be about perfect.

Because she was reported as such on another thread.

But the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, said he did not believe that Islam was the real cause of any terrorist plots.

"Most of them are doing it because they are alienated, because they have been given a vision which is so imaginatively wicked that they believe we can build a better world than actually exists," he claimed.

Don't build archbishops like they used to, do they?

Since when is it in their job description to make excuses for scummy Saracen heathens, rather than convert them?

[Uncle Miltie]

"We've seen very few terrorists being captured but a lot of innocent people destroyed."

Whoa! Can you back that assertion up with bodies?

[bboop]

For crimony's sake, put those policemen IN the mosques to protect the Brits.

[MNJohnnie]

It seems they have the threat matrix backwards.

Apart from terrorism, this sort of story never deals with the mass of street crime nominal Muslims are guilty of in Britain, including a significant number of racial assaults. The natives have more than one reason to hate them.
