Hug a Jihadist

I thought it was a sign of pure moral cowardice when the British government decided to pretend that the Jiahdist War was a police matter and started turning the screws on the general public to the point where anti-terrorism laws were used to spy on illicit dog poo, but it's now clear that it's a case of New Labour being barking mad. What other conclusion can there be when the next bright idea is not to lock up Jihadists, but to give them therapy to "de-radicalise" them.

Bear in mind that this is not Room 101 style political re-education that you or I would receive under "hate crime" legislation if we offended the tender sensibilities of some Anti-Semitic imam who calls on the Faithful every Friday to commit mass murder. We're taking something more along the lines of a nice cup of tea and some sympathetic chat. This will cost, by the bye, £12.5 million.

I do wish that someone would point out to Gordon Brown et al that the Jihadists are the baddies.
