The very thought of Muslim involvement.

Shudder.

Item:

Muslim leaders reacted with shock and scepticism to the news of the arrests of 21 men, believed to be mostly British Muslims of Pakistani origin.

Police are facing pressure to prove they are acting proportionately and basing their operations on credible intelligence.

Fahad Ansari, of the Islamic Human Rights Commission, said many Muslims would be regarding the police with scepticism.

Shock and scepticism!

Why, the very thought that MUSLIMS might be plotting to blow multiple airliners out of the sky and slaughter thousands is outrageous on its face!

Only peopleofcolorism and religious bigotry can explain the actions of the British authorities.

Where was the police focus on disgruntled Presbyterians and C of E malcontents?
