What's The Sound Of Thirty Million Pairs Of Balls Banging Against Each Other All At Once?

It is the roar coming out of the land of the Brits, my friends.

The British Parliament and the most influential former police chief of London are all mad as hell at the Muslims, and they're saying they aren't gonna take it no more:


Radical Islamic front groups in Britain may have overplayed their hand, with that outrageous threatening letter they sent to Tony Blair following the exposure of the massive airplane bombing plot: Backlash over Muslims’ letter to Blair.

It didn’t go down well at all in Parliament.

Muslim leaders will today face Government demands to take tougher steps to root our extremists in their midst. The demand follows a furious reaction by ministers to an open letter signed by Muslim organisations and politicians protesting that Tony Blair’s stance on Iraq and the Middle East provided “ammunition” to terrorists. ...

Relations between Ministers and Muslim leaders have soured after their open letter called for a shift in foreign policy “to show the world we value the lives of civilians wherever they live and whatever their religion”. John Reid, Home Secretary, retorted that foreign policy could never be dictated by terrorists.

“I’m not going to question the motives of anyone who has signed this letter,” he told BBC News 24. “But I think it is a dreadful misjudgement if we believe the foreign policy of this country should be shaped in part, or in whole, under the threat of terrorist activity if we do not have a foreign policy with which the terrorists happen to agree.”

Other ministers have called the letter “facile”, “dangerous” and “foolish” and Downing Street said Mr Blair “stands ready” to confront his critics when he returns from summer holiday and defend his record over the Middle East.

The letter was signed by 38 groups, including the Muslim Council of Britain, and three of the four Muslim MPs.


And, here's the former Police Chief's response:


LONDON’S most influential former police chief has rounded on Britain’s Muslims, blaming them for the terrorist networks in the country.

“When will the Muslim community in this country accept an absolute, undeniable, total truth: that Islamic terrorism is their problem?” wrote John Stevens, former commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, in a Sunday newspaper.

In an inflammatory opinion column, he called on Muslims to “stop the denial, endless fudging and constant wailing that somehow it is everyone else’s problem and, if Islamic terrorism exists at all, they are somehow the main victims”.

Lord Stevens, whose continuing responsibilities in Britain include the inquiry into Princess Diana’s death, also defended “racial profiling” at airports and other security hotspots, saying resources were being wasted on searching everybody out of a sense of fairness or delicacy.

“I’m a white, 62-year-old, suit-wearing ex-cop - I fly often, but do I really fit the profile of a suicide bomber?” Lord Stevens, who was commissioner of the Metropolitan Police until last year, wrote in the News of the World.


The American translation of all that eloquent English-speak is, "Hey Muslims, shut the fuck up."

Pastorius,
You should have posted a spew alert for that last paragraph!

Have the msm carried any stories about the threatening letter? I didn't have access to the TV much yesterday as my husband was watching some car channel and a baseball game.

I'll check today's newspaper, but I don't have much hope that the WaPo will carry the story.
