ANGER AND FRUSTRATION AN EXPLOSIVE MIX

Faisal Bodi, news editor of Britain's Islam Channel doesn't understand how a democracy works:

But the level of anger and the level of frustration at being unable to do anything, being unable to influence government policy in this country, it's leading people down dead ends. We've had a succession of huge demonstrations, the likes of which this country has never seen before, which have almost come to an end now because people have come to the conclusion that this Government just won't listen. The Prime Minister and the Cabinet have made up their mind what they're going to do overseas and no amount of persuasion and no amount of democratic action is going to change that.

So, the London attacks could just as well be blamed on Blair's reelection, which obviously didn't please British Muslims, as on the country's foreign policy. See Mr Bodi, in a democracy, angry and frustrated citizens are meant to become more politically involved, not blow people up at random. Actually, Bodi knows how a democracy works, he just can't accept that Muslim superiors should be governed by infidel inferiors. Nice dead end pun, though.
