Thanks mark. I hadn’t seen that but I’ve seen similar reports. Perhaps I ought to invest in a bomb shelter. Dubya might decide to help us deal with the problem by bombing the crap out of us.

Here’s a clickable version of the article for anyone else who’s interested.

Steve, that crossed my mind too. To continue a theme, rather than allowing Muslims to vote, the US government would perhaps prefer it if we round ‘em up, put ‘em in a field, and bomb the bastards! That’s what General Bombthebastards would do anyway.

One thing that springs to mind though on reading that is the story about Jack Straws removal being due to the Americans worrying about the number of muslims in his constituency.

According to this, an (admittedly limited circulation) American newspaper reckons Britain, its biggest (and pretty much only) ally is also its biggest security threat, because it is a “breeding ground for Muslim extremism”!

To begin, I don’t think that’s true - but if it were, do you suppose it might be because of your alliance to the most hated country on the planet?
