'Representatives from a number of British Muslim organisations have expressed their concern in an open letter to the Prime Minister Gordon Brown, urging him to take more visible action to stop the violence in Gaza.
They have contrasted what they see as Britain's low-key approach with the example of the French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who swiftly departed to the Middle East on an intensive round of shuttle diplomacy.'

The underlying premise of this whole piece is that Britain is guilty of not helping kill the Israelis. And because we are guilty, we are under threat of violence from... well, from who? Palestinian Arabs? Er, no. Egyptian Arabs, Jordanian Arabs, Arabs from anywhere at all? Er, no. We are under threat of violence from pakistanis and bangladeshis.
Yup, pakistanis and bangladeshis. Let me see if I can summarize: hundreds of thousands of pakistanis come to Britain looking for a better life, take up residence here and then start threatening us with bloody murder if we don't help the palestinians murder the Israelis. Talk about cutting off the branch you're sitting on. One thing about mafia-style 'protection' rackets- you'd better have the muscle to back those kind of threats up. And the real truth is, they don't. The only thing the young pakis and bangladeshis will achieve is an increasingly unpleasant life for themselves, and perhaps one day mass expulsion. If there are any more repeats of 7/7 and 21/7, things could get much nastier than that.
The young pakistanis and bangladeshis of our northern and industrial towns don't know any history. If they did, they would not pick a fight with the English. Its not some weird anomaly that we ended up with a world empire. We LOVE to fight. Sometimes its everything we can do to not fight. Please please please don't haul that world of hurt down on yourselves. Honestly.
