Quote:

TORY leader Michael Howard has accused a Labour minister of mounting a "low personal attack" by claiming that he was indifferent to the needs of British Muslims.

Mr Howard said Energy Minister Mike O’Brien had stooped to "blatant scare tactics" in an article he wrote appealing to the Muslim community to vote Labour in the general election.

But Mr O’Brien said today that he attacked Mr Howard as Conservative leader and not on a personal level

.

Ahhhh, poor little lamb! On the end of the Labour spin machine!

All the Muslims I know wouldn't vote Labour if you paid them now! The Lib-Dems are going to benefit most from the Muslim vote, thanks to their anti-war stand!

I have managed to get the support of one Muslim chap, but he is my mate, so not really a great convert.

Ha, they are blowing this up INTO phpbb_"anti-semitism" now. What a pathetic world we have, that the mainstream parties created!

Each party trying to out-pc each other. They make me sick!

I agree. According to one news report Labour have been bending over backwards to appease Islamic groups in a pathetic attempt to win votes.

Apparently the move to allow multiple marriages among other things was boasted to have been to win over the Muslim vote.

It is remarkable that they don't have any intention of winning over the British Christian vote.

Let's hope that goes to the UKIP.

What you should say to a Labour candidate if he/she/it calls at your home.

"I am not a Muslim, so what on earth can you offer me?"

Good afternoon Mr. Moor,

You are quite right, British Christians are being ignored, and that from a PM who professes to be a Christian and makes the most of every photo opportunity when praying.

It is not the fault of the muslims, it is the loony left Councils, with connivance from the Government, who are promoting this idiocy, and they simply cannot see the hornet's nest they are stirring up.

Bluemerle is right. The muslims may have afew extremits but every group does (even us). Labour is now suffering from its own contradictions. By classifying almost every minority as a victim group: leaving only Englishment to blame for everything they find it hard to square the Jew as victim, the moslem as victim - causing policy paralysis - and the Jamaican as victim along with the homosexual as victim.
We can score because we appeal to everyone in Britain rather than deal in confrontation as they do. Multiple marriages sounds fun though...

Nahhh! Look at the timing - and the source. Home office. Blunkett. Does that give you a clue as to why?
