| UK: Call to muslims to end co-operation with Police |
| 2006-06-07 |
| An activist from the Respect Party has urged British Muslims in east London to stop co-operating with police. Yvonne Ridley, who became a Muslim after her kidnap by the Taliban in Afghanistan five years ago, has accused the police of being heavy-handed. She told BBC News British Muslims should "withdraw all support" for the Metropolitan Police. Her comments come in the wake of an anti-terror raid on a house in east London in which one man was shot. I don't know how to make this plainer but the major concern for the muslim community in the UK should be to avoid losing what little trust, if any, the British public has in them. |

| #17 Conflation of traditions then ... Asatru is Norse paganism reconstructed rather than Celtic IIUC. But we get the general idea .... |

| #16 I think what pikhalbadger is referring to is the ancient Druid tradition of burning men alive in man-shaped, woven wicker cages... unless it was hurling them into the swamp to drown... At any rate, it wasn't very nice at all, and part of the reason why the Romans set out to exterminate the lot of them. I'm not sure which islands are his, though. Sorry. |

| #13 Don't cooperate. The police will do their business no matter what. They may tend to get a little rougher during their operations. I think Britain ought to use on of those offshore islands north of Scotland to create their own Gitmo. Not nearly as comfortable as Cuba. |

| #9 But ... But ... Don't any of you realize that self-marginalization is essential to establishing the endless entitlements of supreme victimhood? |

| #7 Nah, tu3031, she just needed permission from her owner, oops, husband to speak in public. She must hold the record for Stockholming, though. |

| #6 Shadow home secretary David Davis described Ms Ridley's comments as "sheer, undiluted madness". Yeah, that just about sums up Yvonne. Haven't heard from the loony bitch in awhile. Was hoping she fell off a roof. |

| #4 Deport them all before we have another London, or Canadian incident, or worse. To the tower with her and her ilk. |

| #3 what a worm ... And why is she still in this country again ? couldnt handle the heat in Afganistan , or perhaps it was the daily threats on womens lives , or maybe she just wasnt Islam enough ? Respect Party = her and Galloway ? sheesh , they know how to pick winners ..whiners.. Yes , well said Howard , although I like the idea of these moonbats sticking up for muslims , kinda makes their case even more tenuous |
