politicians have to keep lying to the public (via the pliant
corporate media) saying Muslim violence is due to ‘<i>Islamists,
Extremists, Hate Preachers — the evil Muslim fairy,</i> or
any other word that makes people think the problem is faith

creating extremism in white communities too, because they
now believe, that it is the Muslim religion that makes them
act in this way, it is their backward pre-disposition to
violence (note the rise of right wing neo-facists across
Europe). And of course as the bombs fall like rain — it
hardens opinions and creates extremists in the Muslim world.
And both these people are expressing themselves in very ugly
ways — and that’s exactly what happened here.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
