THOSE MYSTERIOUS YOUTHS - UPDATE. You will recall that we discussed the story the other day of how an Anglican priest was viciously attacked by "asian youths" in Tower Hamlets in London. The BBC apologists that frequent this space immediately took issue with my suggestion that the "asian youths" were, in all likelihood, Muslims. They also cheered the BBC's refusal to suggest that there may have been any Muslim involvement. But guess what - the BBC has now run a story entitled "Muslims denounce attack on priest"! Abdul Qayum, imam of the East London Mosque, also said: "Our congregation is united in condemnation. The imam described the attack as "cowardly and despicable." Now naturally all condemnation of such brutality is welcome but isn't it odd that whilst the BBC steadfastly refuses to suggest that Muslims may have been the perpetrators of this violence, it provides a soap-box for Muslims to make clear that they oppose all such attacks. The thing is that this same East London Mosque hosted Saudi cleric Abdul Rahman al-Sudais, who refers to Jews as monkeys and pigs and in 2004 was denied entry into Canada. It also has Muhammad Abdul Bari, the guy who believes the UK should adopt Islamic arranged marriages, as chairman. Moderation incarnate.
