A True Muslim Hero

In a refreshing burst of common sense, Tony Blair has told moderate Muslims in Britain that they should stop whinging about their "grievances" and start doing their bit to help combat the Jihadists.

It's a pity that he didn't single out the heroism of Lance Corporal Jabron Hashmi, who gave his life in Afghanistan fighting the Taliban. I'll take one of him over a thousand Sir Iqbal Sacranies any day.

Update: Or the entire population of Beeston.

Update: From a recent Times poll:

7% of Muslims believe that suicide attacks on civilians in the UK can be justified under certain circumstances, a figure that rises to 16% if the target is the military.
Seven percent of Muslims in Britain is 107,000 who believe this way. That's a heavy weight for moderates to counterbalance.
