Indian security officials have found it virtually
impossible to gage where the next terror attack will
occur and has been forced to react to the bombings
that have been taking place at regular intervals with
a few dozen to a few hundred fatalities at each
occurrence.
>
When memorial services were held this year for the
victims of the Mumbai train bombings, not a single
senior Indian government official attended. The
reason given was that giving prominence to an atrocity
blamed on Muslim radicals would upset the Muslim
community. This was mindless political correctness
gone awry, because no one knows better than the Muslim
community that there is a huge difference between the
99.9% of law-abiding Muslims and the few radicals that
give their entire community a bad name. In fact,
there are almost always Muslims among the victims
showing that the radicals could not care less if
innocent Muslims are killed.
>
Now, British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, has
unveiled a new "Fortress Britain" anti-terror plan
which will make travel within, from and through
Britain more onerous for everyone. Britain, after
allowing radical Muslims a free rein for decades, is
now paying the price in extra, some may say draconian,
security measures.

The problem is that Britain seems to have decided to
crack down on everyone from, and passing through,
Britain, instead of cracking down on the most obvious
source of the danger: radical Islamists.
>
The question is: Is this political correctness gone
awry AGAIN - now in Britain?
