"Suspected terrorists were planning to unleash a wave of "apocalyptic" attacks on land and air, using an arsenal of bombs and weaponry, including firearms, investigators have discovered."
Ahh, that's why they left out "Muslim".
The Independent, like the BBC and others, are no doubt being "sensitive" to Muslims feelings. Never mind our feelings. It's kind of hard to fix the problem if you don't identify it. I think this highlights the the issue well.
The BBC insisted on describing those detained simply as 'British-born'. The Home Secretary and senior policemen kept stressing that the operation and any terrorist atrocities which may have been thwarted were not in any way connected to 'communities'. [The BBC later inserted they were some "connections to Pakistan". Phone connections? Computer connections? Who knows]
To reinforce the message, we were also told that Two Jags — minding the shop while Tony Blair is sunning himself on Barbados — was hitting the phones reassuring 'community leaders'.
Which 'community' could they all be referring to? The gay community? The crown green bowling community?
As I've said before, sooner or later people are going to have to stop dancing around this issue and admit that we have a problem with Islam.
