Thought Police

We must defeat ideas of extremists, says Blair
Tony Blair today said it was necessary to "defeat the ideas" of Muslim extremists after a poll revealed that one in eight British Muslims regarded the 7/7 bombers as "martyrs".

Speaking to the Commons liaison committee this morning, Mr Blair was taken to task over whether the government had done enough to "win the hearts and minds" of British Muslims.

John Denham, the home affairs select committee chairman, referred Mr Blair to a Times poll published today which revealed that 13% of British Muslims regarded the bombers as martyrs.

Mr Blair pointed out that the same poll shows the majority of Muslims (78%) are utterly opposed to terrorism.

"The government can't defeat this alone. You've got to defeat the ideas, and the completely false sense of grievance against the west," Mr Blair told MPs.

In the run up to the anniversary of 7/7 Blair and his cretins have been trying to look tough, in the end it means nothing, just a lot of figures and numbers and eye catching 'anti terrorism' measures, all hat and no cattle, and now they are trying to push the 90 days detention thing again through the back door.

So what if 13%of British muslims think the bombers are martyrs, they are just thoughts thats all, you can't lock someone up just because they had a thought or voiced an opinion. What next the Thought Police?
