Home Secretary John Reid has been heckled during a speech about targeting potential Muslim extremists.
He was interrupted by activist Abu Izzadeen, a Muslim, who said he was "furious" about "state terrorism by British police".

Quote:

Massoud Shadjareh, who chairs the Islamic Human Rights Commission, said Mr Reid's demands were "unrealistic and not demanded from any other community".

He added that the government, whose policies he said played a "substantial role" in radicalising people, "needs to come out of this state of denial, stop pointing fingers at others and instead recognise the root causes and its own responsibility".

While I agree the Muslim "community" in Britain HAS to help out more, this guy has a point. I'm angry at this crappy governement, so God knows what people who are seeing their religious brothers being bombed feel like.

I guess it would be a bit like how I would feel if Australia was attacked, or even how I felt on 11/9 in 2001.

I am inclined to think that JR is one breathe of fresh air in this goverment - it was he who squashed the concept that anyone who complained about the extent of immigration was racist.

Is he the Pope's bro?

No, it is Victor Meldrew who is his brother.

Actually, the man who plays Victor Meldrew (Richard somebody or other) is a member and supporter the Labour Party :shock: . I can't think why he would want to join that lot.
