I have to disagree with the title...

..but that prolific Brit, over at the USS Neverdock, has linked to an article which asks a seering question of Britian's (and by extrapolation, the world's) Muslim community - "WHEN will the Muslims of Britain stand up to be counted?".

When will they declare, loud and clear, with no qualifications or quibbles about Britain's foreign policy, that Islamic terrorism is WRONG?

Most of all, when will the Muslim community in this country accept an absolute, undeniable, total truth: that Islamic terrorism is THEIR problem? THEY own it. And it is THEIR duty to face it and eradicate it.

To stop the denial, endless fudging and constant wailing that somehow it is everyone else's problem and, if Islamic terrorism exists at all, they are somehow the main victims.

Because until that happens the problem will never be resolved. And there will be more 7/7s and, sometime in the future, another airplane plot will succeed with horrific loss of innocent life.


All good questions. All good statements. None are going to happen.
