Britain
UK: Manual on deflecting Attention away from Islam after Muslim terrorist attacks....WTF?
2008-01-26
Under the heading, "What?"
This is excerpted from a document named Information Guide for Muslim Communities in Dealing with Anti-Terrorism Raids/Arrests. It was produced by the Association of Muslim Lawyers (UK). I think this is a guide instructing the Muslim community in how to respond to a terror raid...it's not clear that this document is part of UK official law enforcement policy. HAT TIP: Weasel Zippers
1. Make clear on whose behalf the statement is being issued.

2. Set out the Islamic perspective on acts of violence which results in damage or loss of lives of innocent civilians and property.

3. Set out the local Muslim immediate response to the events e.g. shock, sadness etc.

4. Set out that investigation has just commenced and ask for media and public to await the outcome of the investigation once it has been completed and not to rush to conclusions.

5. Set out that individuals are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

6. Ask for understanding and co-operation by the media in not adopting language that will stereotype the rest of the Muslim community and spread fear and misunderstanding in the wider community.

7. Throughout your statement avoid the use of language such as ‘Islamic terrorists’, ‘Muslim terrorists’, ‘jihad’ etc but emphasise that individuals have been arrested accused of criminal activities and if found guilty will be sanctioned by the Criminal Justice system of the country accordingly.

#5  The final decline of the Brits is an overwhelming, rapid abandonment of logic, history, and pride.

#2  Does the document address the proper manner in which non-muzz British citizens should grab their ankles? Does it address whether or not vaseline is halal?

#1  "...emphasise that individuals have been arrested accused of criminal activities and if found guilty will be sanctioned by the Criminal Justice system of the country accordingly."

Couldn't agree more - and perhaps add that any individual who has aided and abetted their actions in any way must be subject to the full force of the law also.
