The best bit about the guardian article in the below post is this...
In what was said to be a testy meeting, representatives told Rammell the government's position on Gaza could provoke UK terrorist attacks. One of those present was Dr Hany el-Banna, youth worker and co-founder and president of the charity Islamic Relief. He told the Guardian: "We are all working tirelessly to try and cool them down. I am telling them to change and bring something positive, but they see these images and they trigger extremist thoughts in the simplest individuals. Many millions of people will see these images in the media, what do you think the affect will be?
What do I think the affect will be? well I don't know; maybe an angry letter to the Sunday Times? Or perhaps not voting Labour at the next election? oh no that's right, he means randomly killing innocent civilians - how silly of me!
Well, at least the government's not meeting with people from organisations with links to terrorism. And at least the Guardian aren't reporting what people from those organisations say and assuming its sensible - oh no, again, it seems that they are - Islamic Relief -
Little acorns, David.
ReplyDeleteThe sight of the bombing will anger young Muslims, who will then be drawn more towards those who can radicalise.
Talk to moderate Muslims and understand just how angry the behaviour of Israel makes them.
I just don't think you can understand because of your Zionist beliefs. his is a concern I have for whether a two-state solution could ever work. In Northern Ireland there are far more shared cultural references than Israelis and Palestinians share.
...make that Daniel (sorry....)
