Islamist provocation

It has been said before, but it does need to be said again.

If Islamists are following a religious code, then what is it, because it certainly doesn't tally with anything in the Koran. This remains something about which the Muslim Council of GB is noticeably silent (although it is happy to be in receipt of Government/taxpayers funding).

Even more confusing are the so-called clerics, such as Omar Bakri, who seem to be doing little for their fellow human beings, but remain determined to talk of violence. In other words, those who throw stones shouldn't live in glass houses.

It is the complete inability to be constructive in any way, coupled with the very low levels of literacy in Islamic states which probably throws up these malcontents, such as Omar Bakri, who prefer shouting to working. They are not original, and exist in every society. They are called unskilled people.
