'Courting terror in Britain'

"British Muslims have been stridently complaining about the 'barbaric and unacceptable treatment' at the hands of the police. Demanding an apology at the highest levels, Muddassar Ahmad, the founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee UK, said: 'We clearly, clearly want an apology unqualified.' He then issued a statement demanding an 'end to the association of Islam with terrorism' as well as a full review of the war on terror.

"Muhammad Abdul Bari, the secretary general of the ubiquitous Muslim Council of Britain, has gone even further and issued thinly-veiled threats of violence: 'Angry people can do anything. Angry people can even feel that they should take the law into their own hands, so anger has to be directed into positive action.' It is truly astounding for such language to emanate from the population that has produced the killers who barely a year ago bombed the London subway and whose seven members are presently on trial for conspiring to commit further acts of terrorist mayhem.

"Although there may be a temptation to feel angry with the Muslims, it is important to realize that they are only partially to blame. The relentless portrayal of them as victims and of the police as abusers has created an environment which almost calls for this kind of reaction. This in turn brings about a situation where a terrorist-breeding community can freely condemn those who try to stop its members from committing acts of terrorist destruction. It is an obvious fact that western Europe is being terrorized by Muslims within. We have everything to fear from them, for they harbor those who would destroy us if they could."
