V. Brit. Wedge Strategy Redux
Given the furore I caused last week by being rude about nationalists, I was somewhat disappointed that my piece about faith groups earlier in the week didn’t elicit at least one death threat.
However, I am extremely grateful to Jim Denham for providing me with some info on the ‘moderate’ Islamic scholar Azzam Tamimi, which has lead me to this story:
At the last Stop the War event, a Palestinian born Muslim scholar, Dr Azzam Tamimi of the MAB promised to give Israel “hell” in response to its military action.
Dr Tamimi, a supporter of Hizbullah, caused controversy in 2005 when he told the BBC that he supported Hamas suicide bombing and said he was willing to carry out a suicide mission himself.
Isn’t it a bit worrying that the rhetoric of a man like that is virtually indistinguishable from that of senior Anglican clerics?

Or rather, with respect to 2005...

There’s nothing wrong with suicide bombing. It’s when they do it in crowded places that it’s a problem.
Can’t somebody give him a bomb and drop him off in the New Forest, or on a remote island somewhere?

You could thank Jim better by linking to his original article.

That would involve me knowing what his ‘original article’ is.

Unless Jim’s emailed it to you directly (in which case I apologise), you must be talking about this, surely?

Actually, he’d just posted a comment. But I’ll happily add the link.
