Blind Spot

The Prime Minister Mr. Tony Blair says that he would like to see university Islamic studies revamped, more imams trained in Britain, closer links between madrassas and mainstream schools and for politicians to listen harder to the "voice of moderation."

I understand what Mr. Blair is trying to accomplish, and it's a logical part of fighting the Jihadists to make sure that Islamic studies departments and local mosques aren't staffed by Islamofascists, but given the lingering poison of multiculturalism and Mr. Blair's utter refusal to treat an enemy in time of war as an enemy in time of war, I keep getting a vision of a backside getting firmly bitten.

  1. Interesting coincidence. It reminds me of when Winston Churchill peered across the Channel in July 1940 and announced: "Gentlemen, we are in dire need of more Hitler Youth in Great Britain!"

    Naturally, he spoke this famous line shortly before ducking for cover from a squadron of Heinkels approaching.
