We Fear a Backlash Against Muslims After the Next Bombing

With remarkable predictability, Muslim "community leaders" have shown their loyalty to Britain and their willingness to stand up and be counted in the fight against the Jihadists in the wake of yesterday's air terror arrests by coming forth... and whinging about the effect this is all going to have on Muslims. A perfect example is Muhammad Abul Kalam from the Muslim Safety Forum who chuntered on about vague claims of increased "Islamophobic attacks" and ended up by saying (All together now!),

We simply don't want to see any kind of backlash unleashed against ordinary Muslims because of what has happened.

I swear they must have a macro for generating boilerplate like that. Not that it matters, because according to the Archbishop of York the problem isn't Islam, but alienation.

Most of them are doing it because they are alienated, because they have been given a vision which is so imaginatively wicked that they believe we can build a better world than actually exists.

But don't for one moment imagine that this in anyway involves Jihad against the kufar, extirpating heretic Muslims, a yearning to expand the umma, impose sharia or establish the New Caliphate. That's just window dressing.

Update: American Muslim groups look to be in full cry-baby mode as well.
