Britain
Muslims must cooperate in the fight against terrorism
2005-08-19
The highest-ranking police officer in Britain and assistant commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Tariq Ghaffur has stated that there is a growing need for greater cooperation between the Muslim communities and the police. Ghaffur told Asharq al-Awsat yesterday that he believes that racially motivated hate crimes against Muslims since the London bombings have decreased to a lower level than expected.
Westerners aren't driven by Dire Revenge™ like some people. Sometimes we should be.
The assistant commissioner has presently taken responsibility for strengthening the relationship between Scotland Yard and various ethnic and religious groups. He told Asharq al-Awsat of the new internet service that enables the public to deal with the police via mobile phones. Ghaffur, who describes the new service as "unprecented for the British police," said that the new system will allow people to receive news bulletins that may include security warnings or emergency alerts within their area. The individual may receive this information as an e-mail or as a text message on the mobile phone. Subscription is available to everybody by following the instructions available on the following website address: http://www.police.uk.

Asharq al-Awsat asked Ghaffur about the extent to which he expects Muslims to use the telephone hotline and their participation in cooperating with the police. He made a plea to Muslims and said that it is difficult to defeat terror "unless Muslims and non-Muslims stand united against it." He added, "we hope that they are more eager to contact us and inform us of any information that may assist us in our cause." The assistant commissioner continued, "Let us be frank. I am part of this community as I too am a British Muslim. The community has information of which is useful to us in protecting all members of our society, in confronting the dangers of terrorism and in dealing with racially-motivated crimes." He pointed out that "reports can be made in Arabic, Urdu or any other language through the new internet service or telephone hotline." He added, "my appeal to them is to provide any information that may help us to be secure in our society and any other information concerning the crimes of racial-hatred."

#11  "The big solution is to cut or eliminate welfare payments to the instigaters, flush out all internal hate promoters, stop all immigration from terrorist countries, and stop providing entrance visas to Imam's.

#10  "Ghaffur told Asharq al-Awsat yesterday that he believes that racially motivated hate crimes against Muslims since the London bombings have decreased to a lower level than expected."

But, hate crimes against whites have increased in densely populated Paki areas.

Look, bat phones and anonymous internet service is only a small solution. The big solution is to cut or eliminate welfare payments to the instigaters, flush out all internal hate promoters, stop all immigration from terrorist countries, and stop providing entrance visas to Imam's.

#9  As another moderator here at RB, let me back up Steve and make this very explicit:

This is not a hate site. Rants are encouraged. Hate for its own sake is not and will result in comment deletion and, if necessary, in a ban on commenting here again.

AND the one thing that will get you banned here the fastest is to make a hateful comment using someone else's nym. That means you, Musi Squasher.

Thank you for your attention .....

NOTE: despite the nym below, this was posted by the not so charming Musi Squasher, not our Whiskey Mike. MS, this is the only warning you'll get: stop using other peoples' nyms to post hateful comments or you will lose your comment privilege entirely.

#5  I agree, WM, but you said it more eloquently.

#4  TW, your response was probably better.

#3  No, Musi Squasher. I was going to let your ignorant comments pass and just ignore you, but it might lead people to believe that your foolish and vile comments, unchallenged, were acceptable here.

But after reading your comments in this and several other posts, you must be on drugs, drunk, or just a fool. Or maybe you are just a troll (and I am making the mistake of feeding a troll). Make constructive comments on this site. This is not a hate site. This is a site where the commentary is generally educational, insightful, and informative.

Keep your hate to yourself. Or go to DU where your hatred won't be noticed in the din; you should blend right in there.
