Like It Is

Muslim leaders are blaming the UK government foreign policy for the acts of extremists. Never mind that 9/11was planned and took place well before the US was ever involved in Iraq. They have written a letter to the government stating, in effect that the attacks will continue until and unless the government changes its foreign policy.

I may not agree with some aspects of UK policy. But the United Kingdom is a democracy as is the United States, as is Canada, and if I live in a democracy then I accept that the only way to influence policy, foreign or otherwise is by democratic means. If Muslims or anyone else cannot accept this, then they are welcome to leave and go and live elsewhere.

And the UK government needs to come out of its collective funk of handwringing appeasement within which they are transfixed and get back to standing up for its people – and our collective freedoms.
