POLL: MANY BRITISH MUSLIMS NOW FEEL LIKE LEAVING

ICM POLL RESULTS were reported in the UK GUARDIAN - via the invaluable BETSY'S PAGE: Nearly two-thirds of Muslims told pollsters that they had thought about their future in Britain after the attacks, with 63% saying they had considered whether they wanted to remain in the UK.

Betsy comments on this PERFECTLY - as she almost always does:
I'm sick of hearing about the terrible time that Muslims are having as people regard them with suspicion these days. I think rather about the terrible time that the families of the victims who died on July 7th are having as they try to put together a life without their loved ones. I think about the difficult rehabilitation that I'm sure that many of the surviving victims are going through. They're the ones who have earned my sympathy. When I see Muslims every day speaking out against terrorism, turning in people within their communities, and showing their desire to be full members of the new country they themselves have chosen reporting those who have been recruiting young men to jihads, then I'll work up more sympathy for them.
Maybe the Brits should buy all the worried Muslims one-way tickets home? It's really not very cruel. After all: there's no place like home.

And the feelings of families of the Australians that died in the Bali bombing. And on, and on and on.

Attention! Please pay attention! We are involved in a war! We get rid of the bombers by getting rid of the bombers. Sharing their angst does not get rid of the problem. Finding ways to portray the bombers as victims does not get rid of the problem. This is a war. We get rid of the bombers by getting rid of the bombers.

Reality check THE BOMBERS ARE NOT THE VICTIMS!.
