Gove and the Christmas Tree Activists

As I indicated last week, David Cameron's unjustified outburst in Parliament against Muslim schools on the 25th of November was significant not only because the Tory Party may win the next national election and the dire implication this sort of policy will have for the Muslim community as whole, but it is also significant in revealing the existence and reach of a sinister network of hatred for Islam and Muslims crawling the inner corridors of power in the United Kingdom.

Islam is their problem not radicalism

It is now almost three weeks since the leader of the Conservative Party, David Cameron, made false accusations in Parliament that Muslim extremists were taking money from taxpayers which led to anti-Muslim headlines. If I were to take to heart Harold Wilson's observation that "A week is a long time in politics”, then there would be no need to continue to speak about this matter. Some readers may wish to point out that the world has moved on and that the news this week brings its own, new, shocking revelations, among them being: Police targets Muslim infants in nurseries, Tony Blair admits he wanted to invade Iraq anyway and Tzipi Livni secures immunity from prosecution.

Cameron's ventriloquist
 
Last week, in Part 1 of this series, I commented on the story of David Cameron's irresponsible outburst in Parliament followed by his apology - that excluded Muslims - as well as the attempt to "choreograph" Muslim Stigma.

On Tuesday, Conservative Party leader David Cameron apologised to Parliament. He explained that he had got his facts wrong. His original statement in the Commons had been made a week earlier when, using Hizb Al-Tahrir as a punch bag, he had slammed his fist repeatedly during Prime Minister's Questions about the fact that two Muslim schools influenced by extremists were being funded by the Labour government.
