Dhimmi of the Day
Hazel Blears, the Communities Secretary, defended Labour’s policy on religion after a report backed by the Church of England claimed that Muslims receive a disproportionate amount of attention.
She said it was right that more money and effort was spent on Islam than Christianity because of the threat from extremism and home-grown terrorism.
Ms Blears told BBC Radio 4’s Sunday programme: “That’s just common sense. If we’ve got an issue where we have to build resilience of young Muslim men and women to withstand an extremist message.â€
Moral of the story: Blow shit up and we’ll give you more money than your peaceful neighbors. Where art thou, Winston?

Such bias is inflammatory. It could be called pitiful or even contemptuous. It could cause feelings of pity or even contempt. Is pity against the law? Uh,no that’s contempt. Why isn’t pity against the law?
HRC’s consider it OK because that’s what they feel for the rest of us unenlightened, prejudiced (pre-judged), untrusting, concerned citizens.
Who’s pre-judging who?)
With regard to the bias in question, glad to see it. Not glad to contribute taxes to the Muslim cause mind you. Isn’t this what we want, finally a gov’t figure stating the the obvious. We have to deal with this politico/religion. More & more we have to realize how unequal life is. Apples are not equal to oranges, though they both have fine qualities, and passing a law stating apples are equal to oranges is pretty much Leftard policy. So if the Feds use my tax dollars to blitz the country in an ad campaign, aimed at Muslim youth, repudiating the ideas being taught by their priests and teachers, well that money would be better spent than the ad campaign telling me how good their services are.
