Following On From Yesterday

[poliphilo]

Omar Bakri Mohammed- Islamic firebrand and loudmouth- has buggered off to Lebanon rather than risk being arrested here in Britain on a charge of treason. Fine. But just because he's no longer under our noses doesn't mean that he'll no longer be a risk and a nuisance. In the age of the internet and EasyJet travel a person's geographical location matters very little. Bakri Mohammed can still access us and his British followers can still access him. The change is purely cosmetic.

Peter Preston was saying yesterday that we're not laughing enough at the preachers of Jihad. We should be using humour as a weapon to deflate them. I guess the fear of being thought racist is what holds us back. But Omar Bakri- a very fat man who waddles- is surely good for a laugh. And then there's that other guy with the glass eye and the hook. And what about the robes and turbans? They're there to suggest spiritual authority- just like the Archbishop of Canterbury's mitre or the Pope's white frock. I think it's time we put aside our scruples and pointed out how silly they look.

As we know who these people are surely the police MI5 etc., keep a close eye on them. I suppose it could be that they are busy attracting our attention so that others aren't noticed.

That's possible I suppose.

However it works, I reckon the ones in the public eye are the least of our worries.

The problem is that there's no sure-fire way to keep out suicide bombers. None of these silly looking old men seem to be up for the job - why is it always the young that are sent to die?
