TUBE BOMBERS "INNOCENT PASSENGERS"
British police invited a senior Birmingham cleric to participate in a press conference meant to calm fears within the Muslim community. Things did not go to plan; not to the police plan, anyway:

The most senior Islamic cleric in Birmingham claimed yesterday that Muslims were being unjustly blamed in the war on terrorism and that the eight suspects in the two bombing attacks on London "could have been innocent passengers".Terrorist sympathizers 1, police 0.
Mohammad Naseem, the chairman of the city's central mosque, called Tony Blair a "liar" and "unreliable witness" and questioned whether CCTV footage issued of the suspected bombers was of the perpetrators.
He said that Muslims "all over the world have never heard of an organisation called al-Qa'eda".
His comments shocked senior police officers.
Sources said that attempts to encourage Muslims to pass them information on the bombers' activities would be hindered. One said: "We are trying to gain the trust of the Muslim community and these kinds of comments have the opposite effect. All they do is encourage communities to close ranks against us."

However regrettable their position is, now we know where they stand. The UK must do the inevitable: indefinite internments, fast track extradition, etc.
So much for multiculturism. One hopes that the sane Muslims will kick this nutter out of his comfortable office in the mosque.
But I won't be holding my breath until they do.
