Britain is a 'police state for Terrorists'

How many times this week have we seen the concept "Britain is a police state for muslims" bandied around in the media? This "talking point" was first brought up by Muslim organisations and was echoed by Islamofascist Anjem Choudary on Newsnight.

The impression they'd like to get across is that the police are picking on random, normal, peaceful Muslims. That it's a policy of stop and search.

In reality, the Muslims that come under police scrutiny are the Jihadists. Yes, many are not guilty of anything other than extremism, but if that makes them a suspect it's their fault.

Take Abu Bakr, for instance, whose bookshop sells the most vile extremist propaganda. People involved in the dissemination of such material deserve to be subjects of police scrutiny and have no moral case for complaint.

Britain is a 'police state for Muslims'
Abu Bakr was one of nine men held in Birmingham last week over an alleged plot to kidnap and behead a British Muslim soldier. He was released without charge on Wednesday and made a scathing attack on the police and security services....

Mr Bakr, 27, whose bookshop was raided after his arrest, said that in the week he was held he was questioned no more than four times, and for no more than an hour each time.

He said: "It was farcical. I was questioned for seven days but not once did they put these allegations about a plot to kidnap and behead a soldier to me. It felt like they didn't really know what they were doing."

He said Britain was now a "police state for Muslims". "It's not a police state for everyone else, because these terror laws are designed specifically for Muslims.

And whose fault is that, Abu?

In the days when the IRA were the only active terrorist organisation in the UK, the anti-terror laws were aimed at the Irish.

Today, the terror threat comes from Muslims. It would therefore be silly to aim anti-terror action at Eskimos, Kiwis, or Romanians!!!

If the actions of Islamic extremists and terrorist groups result in a "police state for Muslims", then those are the people the Muslim community should blame. Not the police & security services who are trying their best to save our lives.

Self-reflection is a hard thing for an embattled minority to do, but Muslims should not expect the British people to sit back and be murdered.
