Today's Independent (yes, I know, but I'll leave my criticism of the Indefensible for the time being) has a piece on a 14-year-old wannabe suicide bomber explaining how he got that way. "All I know is what the mullahs told me and kept telling me, that the British and the Americans were against God," he said with his head bowed down, his hands twisting a handkerchief.
How does this differ from what young men in Birmingham and Lancashire are being told?
"I wanted to see my mother and father but I was told that was not possible for security reasons. That upset me but I thought I will be seeing them again as soon as I got back.(Oh yes? So the poor kid clearly hadn't grasped what he was in for.) They said my family would get well paid for what I was doing."
Tolerance, always tolerance. And understanding of the reality of Islam. Well, thanks - you can't get much nearer to understanding of the reality of Islam than that. Sorry, but this is what it is about.
No Islam In Britain!

About Me
- Tamburlaine the Great
- Fat, fifty and phenomenally belligerent when confronted by crap: otherwise mellow as a 'cello. Powered by a robust discontent with modern capitalism, bullshit, the World, the Flesh and the Devil. Am an ex-diplomat in more senses than one. Anarchist and Anglican (perhaps they were just on the same page in the encyclopaedia). But for practical purposes a good Labour Party man (since 1983 - New Labour wasn't my fault). Inclined to use pen as sword, or rather as weapon of mass destruction.
