UK Muslims Split Between Supporting Domestic Terrorism And Demanding Less Airport Counterterrorism

Speeches

A new poll comes out indicating that almost a quarter of British Muslims support suicide bombings. A few days ago a British Muslim pled guilty to trying to blow himself up in a family restaurant. So naturally UK Muslims are demanding even less scrutiny than they already get at British airports:

“Psychological torture.” Come on. If these demonstrators had any concern at all for preventing another terrorist attack in the U.K., they would accept the inconvenience of questioning as the price of preserving British society. I myself am often singled out for extra sceening, and while it can be annoying, I would never term it “psychological torture” — I am glad to see security personnel doing their jobs. A protest has been staged outside Strathclyde Police headquarters over alleged “harassment” of Muslim travellers at Glasgow Airport. About 60 demonstrators claimed that Pakistani and Afghan passengers had been “interrogated” for up to three hours by officers from Special Branch. They accused police of operating “discriminatory policies”.

I kind of like that they’re going right for the hyperbolic “psychological torture” victimhood. It’s not as flashy as when Palestinians artists accuse Israelis of “colonizing” their ideas, but it’s still got a certain obnoxious multicultural je ne sais quoi to it.
