Police vow to clamp down on anti-Muslim backlash

The Guardian
As police waited to question the two men arrested after the failed car bomb attack, the justice secretary, Kenny MacAskill, said neither was "born and bred" in Scotland. "Any suggestion to be made that they are homegrown terrorists is not true," he said.
Strathclyde's Assistant Chief Constable John Neilson won applause as he addressed a meeting at Glasgow central mosque. "The people we have in custody came to Scotland a short while ago to seek work," he said. "Other than that, I can't tell you - but I'm sure the community in Glasgow in particular will be reassured. These are not your young people."
Police said two minor incidents of racist abuse had been reported since the attacks but promised to clamp down on any backlash.
Nevertheless, the apparent arrival in Scotland of the sort of terrorist violence that has brought mass casualties and devastation to other parts of the UK prompted a great deal of reflection yesterday.
Mohammad Sarwar, the Labour MP for Glasgow Central, told BBC Radio Scotland's Sunday Live: "This is a big surprise to all of us, because we were not expecting this type of incident in Scotland. This is the first incident that has happened in Glasgow and everybody is shocked."
Mr Sarwar said constituents had been threatened since the incident. But he said there was no evidence that any of Scotland's imams or mosques had been fomenting hatred. "The message is moderate and liberal," he said. "Glasgow airport is used by a vast majority of Muslims and people of all faiths. This attack was an attack on all of us, on our city and our communities."
Osama Saeed, Scottish spokesman for the Muslim Association of Britain, said there had "not been a peep of extremism" in Scotland to date, adding: "You hear about individuals and groups in London and elsewhere in England, but there has been no presence of this here."
Scotland's first minister, Alex Salmond, also said the attack was out of character. "Scottish society is very strong, with a strong sense of community," he said. "In Scotland, the Muslim community is part of the fabric of society, and is hugely important for social life, and this community link will remain strong."
Scotland's most obvious link with international terrorism occurred 20 years ago when Pan Am flight 103 crashed on to Lockerbie and killed 270 people.
But more recently, in 2002, seven men were questioned by anti-terrorist detectives after a month-long surveillance operation which raised fears that an Islamist support cell was being established.
Three were arrested in Edinburgh, when more than 50 armed officers raided a number of flats in the Leith area. Four others were held in west London by officers from Scotland Yard's anti-terrorist branch but no attacks materialised and fears that Edinburgh's massive, open-air New Year's Eve celebrations might be targeted proved unfounded.
One theory being examined yesterday by terrorism specialists was that Scotland could have been chosen as a target because it is the home of the new prime minister. David Capitanchik, of Aberdeen University, told the Sunday Mail: "Ever since this al-Qaida related terrorism became a problem, I said we couldn't afford to be complacent in Scotland. I am hoping this means that people will be equally aware as they are in England."
Scotland was largely untouched in the IRA years despite the presence, particularly in the west of the country, of supporters, quartermasters and fundraisers for Republican and Loyalist paramilitary groups. The strategy of the Republicans was to seek targets either associated with the UK establishment - members of the government, army recruiting centres, the City - or those likely to cause huge disruption, such as the London underground.
MORE BULL FROM THE GUARDIAN - HUNDRED OF INNOCENT BRITISH PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED YET THE POLICE IN SCOTLAND ARE RUNNING AROUND WORRYING AND CODDLING THE WHINGING MUSLIMS. THE SICKENING APOLOGISTS TRIPPING OVER THEMSELVES TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR A RELIGION THAT WILL NOT REST UNTIL EVERYONE IN THE WORLD IS UNDER ITS HEINOUS POWER.
OH MY-- "TWO MINOR INCIDENTS OF MILD RACIST ABUSE" - WHAT MIGHT THAT BE? - SOME POOR SOD FROWN AT A MUZZIE?? BUT DON'T WORRY THE POLICE ARE READY TO "CLAMP DOWN" ON ANY BACKLASH - PERHAPS THE POLICE WOULD DO BETTER TO WORRY ABOUT ARRESTING THE BLOOD THIRSTY MURCEROUS MUSLIMS THAN WASTING TIME PROTECTING THEIR FRAGILE FEELINGS!
JUST THE TYPE OF ARTICLE ONE WOULD EXPECT FROM THE GUARDIAN - PRAISING AND HERALDING THE DHIMMIES. - DISGUSTING!

I don't know about the rest of you but I found Duncan Campbell's article in 'The Guardian' to be a perfectly reasonable bit of reporting of the facts. I suggest that The Opinionator keep his powder dry for bigger targets.

Scotland, so perhaps we should ask Kris McDonald whether that was an act of extremism, or even the Muslim MP hounded out of office by supporters of the people who killed Kris.
Don't rock the boat in Scotland, after all as Scotland returns mainly left wing appeasors to the Parliment and enables Labour to win in the UK they should not rock the boat at all.
That is what the Guardian wishes to head off with that article, as our war is being lost by Labour it is in their interests to keep Labour in power, don't do anything to threaten that please...
Boycott all Muslim businesses now...

"Not of Scotish origin", "Not British citizens".....we get the message, no "funny looks" or graffiti that might upset muslims ok. I don't remember any significant backlash after the London tube bombings...or do I have a short memory?
AJukDD...boycott all muslim businesses now...agree....but I've just got back from town and the taxi drivers are still doing a roaring trade....so much for backlash it just doesn't happen.

I sure hope this is just diplomaticcrap talk.
The whole of the UK is not asleep but in a drugged state, drugged by fear and lethargy. But there is no doubt that one day the fear of being murdered by Muslims, having a fatwa on one, or the fear of being prosecuted by the authorities will have no have purchase, and then, the harder the authorities clamp down, the bigger will be the explosion.

Those disdainful distrusting looks you give muslims give also to your police, journalists, and politicians. When the proverbial hits the fan (civil war) it is vital you know your enemies because it's obvious who they will and are protecting...

There is a civil war developing in this country. At the moment all that is happening is that the sides are slowly selecting themselves. What individual police officers, individual politicians, individual journalists, professionals, servicemen - everyone has to decide, and decide relatively soon is "which side am I on?" and act accordingly. Once it starts it'll be too late. If you're a copper who's been arresting and ensuring the incarceration of people who act against Islam, then you are going to be on the Islamic side, and the non-Islamic side will not accept a change of mind. I use that just as an example - it applies to everyone: lawyers, politicians etc.
Once it stsrts it'll be too late to change your mind, AND THERE WILL BE NO NEUTRALS. You're with us or against us, and it really has become make your mind up time. Think carefully, because it's not going to be fun being on the losing side. And while you're thinking, think on this - all those tens of thousands of enlisted men serving, or previously and future-serving, in Iraq and Afghanistan - all men who know how to fight and have much personal knowledge of how Muslims in a muslim state treat non-muslims. Which side do you think they're going to be on? I've been an enlisted man, and I assure you, the average enlisted man despises "the establishment" - politicians, media etc.
Have a care. Have a think. All of you out there, think of your own individual skins. All of you. I'm not making threats: just pointing out reality.

Hello Sir HM ,
Good and valid point ....pity here in Scotland we already know the answer about where our Politicians and Police stand !!

The important question is: do you have a plan in the event the government declares martial law to control the situation? Look at that recent riot by native Dutch in the Netherlands that died out when riot police were brought in and the affected area was fenced off.

Scotland is fast becoming the best small Dhimmi country in the world. It has long been in thrall to the socialist commie pc labour brigade who would sell their grannie
for a hint of political power. Dont see Salmond being any different.....
Wont be long before the central area of Glasgow houses more immigrants than natives...bout 70% percent having babies in the area are immigrants
/asylum seekers.
Like Sir HM said ....its a time bomb
Seems we fall over backwards to reassure
Glasgows ethnics and deal with our fears
by threatening us all if we dare step out of line. Lunatics are running the asylum !!

Salmond is a the man that would deny Britain access to the Nuclear facilities at Faslane if he could. He would leave us totally powerless in the event of an Islamic nuclear threat that surely one day will happen. Its only time that stands between Iran and a viable nuclear weapon.
What if Pakistan has another coup and its weapons are taken over by hardliners ??
No being a Scotsman ...I am totally ashamed by the lack of backbone up here.
