Today Russia, tomorrow the UK?

In an interview with The Sunday Telegraph, Mr Mohammed said: "If an Iraqi Muslim carried out an attack like that in Britain, it would be justified because Britain has carried out acts of terrorism in Iraq.

"As long as the Iraqi did not deliberately kill women and children, and they were killed in the crossfire, that would be okay."

Lookout, I bet Jag and Dana reply with condemnations of these comments, but then proceed to do a 180 and tell us how badly treated Mr Mohammed has been through his life, and that we should sympathise with him.

I was, and still am, opposed to the war in Iraq, but if any misguided Muslims actually take Mr Mohammed's advice, and act upon it, I would condemn them (and their supporters), just as fiercely as the hostage takers in Beslan.

The guy is obviously after publicity, and said something extreme in order to provoke a reaction, but the trouble is that some idiot(s) might actually listen to him.

The father of seven came to Britain in 1985 after being deported from Saudi Arabia because of his membership of a banned group. He has since been given leave by the Home Office to remain in Britain for five years but the Government is reviewing his status.

2004 - 1985 = 19 years. 5 Years??? Strange system.
