Monday 7 July 2008

Been watching a Channel 4 Dispatches programme called "It Shouldn't Happen to a Muslim" about unjustified attacks on harmless Moslems after 7th July 2005. Fair enough, I thought; and when all the manufactured stories in papers like the Daily Express, showing completely bogus headlines aimed at working up anti-Moslem prejudice, I quite agreed that all the prejudice should be directed towards the complete ostracism of everyone who reads the Daily Express (and any other crap paper).

But then I thought; Yes, the vast majority of Moslems are quite OK, and should be protected from ill-directed prejudice. There are, however, a smallish minority of Moslems who are trying to pull the others into the pro-Al Qa'eda line. And a lot of moderate Moslems, who are the main targets of these people, must know who they are. And we want their heads on a plate, or at the very least their names on a list. I'm sorry, but moderate Moslems who won't grass the bastards up should not complain if they get targeted too. After all, we kill them without hesitation in Afghanistan; why do we let them get away with it in Accrington?
