The greatest distance
Reader comment on item: London's Police: Share Intelligence with Muslim Leaders?
in response to reader comment: Is this another 'politically correct' fantasy?

Submitted by David W. Lincoln (Canada), May 30, 2007 at 13:02

As long as the brigands are enabled by other brigands (I include imams) to meet the criteria for they to be kept track of - this is beaviour that is far from anything to aspire to, much less emulate.

Frankly, the solution that Nazi Germany imposed after Kristallnacht (confiscating the insurance payments the Jewish businesses received after that night which launched a number of insurance claims), plus levying a heavy fine - that is something to look at.

I don't see anything wrong with heavy fines against mosques to get it through their thick heads that crime does not pay, and that they are held accountable for their actions by those whom they despise.

So, the greatest distance, from where they are, to where they need to be - is on the inside of those who are brigands and follow in the footsteps of those raiders who stormed out of the Arabian peninsula 1400 years ago.
