Anti-Muslim bias now the social norm: British minister
[Dawn] Prejudice against Mohammedans has "passed the dinner-table test" and become socially acceptable in Britain, the Conservative Party's chairwoman will say on Thursday.

Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, the Pakistain-born minister without portfolio, will say in a speech at the University of Leicester that dividing Mohammedans into "moderate" and "extremist" fuels intolerance, according to prepared remarks published in the Daily Telegraph.

"It's not a big leap of imagination to predict where the talk of 'moderate' Mohammedans leads; in the factory, where they've just hired a Mohammedan worker, the boss says to his employees: 'Not to worry, he's only fairly Mohammedan,'" the first Mohammedan woman in a British cabinet will say.

"In the school, the kids say: 'The family next door are Mohammedan but they're not too bad'.

"And in the road, as a woman walks past wearing a burka, the passers-by think: 'That woman's either oppressed or is making a political statement.'"
What should they think, pray tell? This is not normal apparel in the West. Has it occurred to these women and their menfolk that really, they ought to fit in to their surroundings? Jews, after all, are told to remove identifying jewelry and items of clothing, lest Mohammedans beat them up on the street, and as a rule they are employed and assimilated into the general society.
There are 2.9 million Mohammedans in Britain, almost 5 per cent of the population, according to an estimate last year by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.

Britain has regularly been a focus of Islamic myrmidon plots. In the worst attack in the country, jacket wallahs killed 52 people on the London transport network in July 2005.

"Those who commit criminal acts of terrorism in our country need to be dealt with not just by the full force of the law,"
Warsi was due to say.

"They also should face social rejection and alienation across society and their acts must not be used as an opportunity to tar all Mohammedans."

Warsi's comments follow those made by Prime Minister David Cameron in his New Year message when he said Britain still faced a serious threat from international terrorism.

"We must ask ourselves as a country how we are allowing the radicalisation and poisoning of the minds of some young British Mohammedans who then contemplate and sometimes carry out acts of sickening barbarity," Cameron said.
