Meanwhile, At The 'Indy'...

...dear, dear Yasmin is weeping and wailing and rending her garments over that speech as well: on that speech:
Some Muslims deserve castigation and worse for the terrible things they do. I frequently denounce them in my columns. But sweeping, indiscriminate execration of any collective is abhorrent and must be confronted.
Really? Even that of the BNP? Or EDL?

Or bloggers? Or scientists?
I found Cameron's speech in Munich indefensible even though I completely agree with some observations and policy ideas.
Sounds to me as though you disagreed because of who was saying it. Surely not?
By speaking out in Munich he allied himself with the ghastly Angela Merkel who delivered a similarly provocative sermon last autumn. Racism is rife in both countries; in both nations, millions of their own natives rigidly hold on to their languages and cultures.
The bastards! How dare they, in their own country too!
As the speech progressed, you realised that Cameron's problem isn't cultural difference. It's the people whom marauding Christian Crusaders called "curs", wretched Mohammedans. Cameron isn't troubled by Hassidic enclaves, Orthodox Jewish dress codes, or their religiously sanctioned gender inequality and stubborn self-removal from mainstream societies.
They haven't decided to burn or stone infidels, they haven't been involved in honour killings, and I think I'm right in saying they haven't plotted terrorist acts against the state, either. Much less carried any out.

Your move, Yaz.

We discussed these two years back when we met in his office for over an hour.

I'm beginning to see why Cameron is PM and I'm not. I couldn't stand that.

May The Peace from Yasmin be upon us all and spare you fatwa, Julia.

Will no-one rid us of this tiresome & meddlesome journalist ?

Politicians making speeches to the well-fed and politicians doing things for the benefit of the people are frequently two different things.

Will Cameron and friends actually do anything to back up the offered smooth words?

Your call, Dave

"curs", wretched Mohammedans

Good slogan for a T shirt, IMO

I have been rebuffed by a veiled Muslim woman and a Hassidic Jewish one when I tried to talk to their children.

I would rebuff Yasmin if she tried to talk to my children but that would be nothing to do with her ethnicity or religion.

Well said Julia.

It's for the best; kill them. Kill them all.

I wouldn't want to be Queen for the same reason.

"I would rebuff Yasmin if she tried to talk to my children but that would be nothing to do with her ethnicity or religion."

Heh!

Yassette is not the full shilling Julia - I'm not sure you should pick on her! No point in offering her the next move - she's not playing the game.
