#2 "Sir?" fucking Iqbal? I thought knights were from the Round Table. Whomsoever bestowed this upon him
will answer for treason.

BTW, MCB answer to tonight's programme, excerpt.

"Furthermore, Ware's presumption that we live in a truly secular society/world is quite flawed. Take George Bush. His conception of Christianity very obviously informs his political beliefs and actions. But it's not just the United States. At least three members of the UK Cabinet are committed Christians. There are members of the Christian clergy in the House of Lords and Britain has an established Church. Christian values and teachings have been a major influence behind the Welfare state, the NHS, etc.

The Pope often meets with world leaders and comments on world affairs. The Archbishop of Canterbury regularly comments on social, economic and major political events.

Ruth Kelly, the cabinet minister, has made no bones of her commitment to Opus Dei, remarking "I am a practicing Catholic. Clearly I have strong personal principles. I would have to abide by them in my political career if they are strong personal principles." (The Guardian, 17th December 2004).

So it is strange that when Muslims seek to be guided in their social and political beliefs and actions by their faith, Ware describes this as âplaying politics with religion in a secular countryâ. To disconnect morality from public life would be to make faith largely irrelevant.

A Few Selected Voices of Discontent
The Muslim Council of Britain is this countryâs largest umbrella body for British Muslims. It's over 400 affiliates represent the diversity of the Muslim community, including schools of thought (Sunni and Shi'a) and ethnic and national groups - from the Kosova Islamic Centre to the Council of Nigerian Muslim Organisations. However, the MCB makes no claim to represent all of the UKâs 1.6 million Muslims and we recognise that there are other senior Muslim individuals and organisations that are not currently affiliated to us and we seek closer cooperation with them, even if they do not wish to formally affiliate with us".

Doesn't sound like co-operation to me.

#5 The BBC program did a pretty good job on Sacranie, pointing out that he refused to attend the Holocaust memorial, but was happy to attend a memorial for Yassin, the leader of a terrorist group whose only objective is to destroy Israel. Sacranie (and various other taqqiyah artists) came across very badly indeed, and this program will hopefully have been very useful in alerting the British people to the enemy in our midst.
