Via Mr Eugenides, this story:
POLICE have agreed to consult a panel of Muslim leaders before mounting counter-terrorist raids or arrests. Members of the panel will offer their assessment of whether information police have on a suspect is too flimsy and will also consider the consequences on community relations of a raid.
Members will be security vetted and will have to promise not to reveal any intelligence they are shown. They will not have to sign the Official Secrets Act.
What the fuck is going on?! If the police and intelligence services have sufficient evidence to carry out an arrest, then they should do their duty according to the law. But, no, it seems that this is no longer to be the case. So craven have the snivelling, traitorous, cowardly, jackanapes in power become in their anxiousness to display their dhimmitude, that they have set up an Islamic quango to check for them whether the police have sufficient evidence to carry out a raid that involves Muslim suspects. Jesus H Christ on a pogo stick! Now, I think I really have heard it all. That nincompoop Sir Ian Blair thinks it a jolly wheeze. As of course, do Muslim self interest groups.
Muslim groups have welcomed the move, which is understood to be backed by Sir Ian Blair, the Metropolitan police commissioner.
Well, they would, wouldn’t they? They now have the say-so over police action in the event of a potential terror threat. For fuck’s sake! If you are a Muslim contemplating a terror attack, then you know that the police evidence against you will be screened by a biased group who will decide whether it is okay for them to carry out their duty.
Azad Ali, chairman of the MSF, said: “The major concern that came to us from Muslims was that the intelligence was flawed — the raid was on assumption and nothing else. This will allow independent scrutiny of intelligence.”
Independent, my arse! Haven’t these fucking morons heard the expression “conflict of interest”?
Bad enough, that we have to deal with utter incompetence (Forest Gate, Ricin plot, Jean Charles De Menezes); bad enough that we have to deal with subsequent cover-ups, excuses and whitewash; bad enough that the utterly, utterly, useless dhimmi Ian Blair remains in post, but now we have a religious group deciding on the veracity of police evidence before they act upon it.
I presume that as I am not a Muslim, if I was to engage on a terror plot, no one will be vetting the police evidence before they raid me? No, I thought not. All men are equal, but Muslims are more equal, it seems.
