Fucking hell - a "truly appalling act of terror"
FPF-fwd. from Rory Winter (UK)
WHY THE GOVERNMENT-LED PERSECUTION OF BRITISH MUSLIMS NOW?
"A TRULY APPALLING ACT OF TERROR"
Iain Dale [http://tinyurl.com/n7ny9] - via Atheneum - [http://tinyurl.com/yb48x8] - reports the words of Sir Ian Blair - [Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis] - to the Reform Club Media Group last week, which might hold a clue:
"Sir Ian said the British people should 'brace themselves for a truly appalling act of terror'. He said that following this act of barbarism 'people would be talking quite openly about internment', giving the impression that he would be leading the pro-internment lobby."
"My informant thought at first that it really was a throwaway remark but on reflection felt that it couldn't have been made by accident. Well, either that or the Reform Club claret had loosened his tongue."
Given the anti-Muslim feeding frenzy that the Government has whipped up over recent weeks, which in itself has brought proponents of internment slithering onto the comments boxes of CiF - [http://tinyurl.com/lr9yk] - and given the tendency of such dire warnings (and apparent hypotheses like the notorious PNAC - [http://tinyurl.com/zgj68] - 'Rebuilding America's Defenses' document which pondered the effect of a "new Pearl Harbor" on public support for massive increases in defence spending - in September 2000) to come true, we ought to be surprised neither at a continuation of the current clampdown, nor at a "truly appalling act of terror" within the coming months.

"One of the most interesting psychological/psychodynamic theories for understanding contemporary political events is terror management theory (TMT). TMT postulates that most people, when the threat of death enters their peripheral awareness, become more conventional in attitudes, more punitive, and more intolerant of "outsiders."
