About a year back, the Home Minister of Her majesty's Government threated the closure of mosques preaching violence . What action has been taken in this case - nothing

Imam backs terror attack against Blair

Daniel Foggo and Abul Taher

Brighton mosque radicalised

A RADICAL Muslim who ousted a leading moderate cleric from his mosque on the south coast with a campaign of violence has said he believes Tony Blair is a "legitimate target" for terrorists

If the government can't be tough with blatant, isolated and discrete case like this, how is it going to deal with the more pervasive anti-semitism among British muslims? That is a non-starter.
