Terrorist attack or spin away from Israel/Lebannon

No surprise that they have released a major terror scare story for the world's popular media and shock jocks to wring their hands over. Any self respecting fairly intelligent person would ask why did "terrorists" want to do this at this time? But it's a great story to take away the fuel from the fire over the Israel/Lebannon crisis that Blair is once again yapping around Bush's ankles over. Meanwhile he is dragging this country further into turmoil and possibly heightening the public's interest in the views of Far Right parties. Or is this what he wants as he hasn't got the bottle to make the decisions that he needs to in order to gain back control of immigration and to stop further the madness's of political correctness.

Any one who lives in a multi cultural society or in a multi cultural relationship knows that to live with people from differing cultures takes more than changing the lyrics of nursery rhymes, it takes talking and laughing with each other, sharing life's experiences, understanding and respecting each other's cultural and religous beliefs. Above all else, respecting that we may all be different skin colours, abilities and sexes but we have the same needs and aspirations as each other and that we ALL need to have an equal chance to succeed in whatever we do.

Just one last point, we shouldn't poke fun at any religion and we shouldn't hate Muslims for the passion that they show for their religion, instead why don't we become as proud of our religions as they are. Then we can push for respect to be shown to all religions in this land. Or is that Utopia?
