I could show a bit more empathy towards the Muslim community if, on occasions like this, when their terrorist fellow countrymen strike, they could condescend to organising a march - I believe someone mentioned it back there -  and show a bit of sympathy and compassion for those killed and maimed, and denounce those responsible. After all, they've managed to march in full throes waving placards before, when the agenda suited them. But I suppose that's about as likely to happen as would have been the case of Maggie Thatcher, suddenly deciding on taking a morning stroll down Ashington High Street. Absolute zero.

At # 77. I mentioned it artful.

If I could put myself in the shoes of a regular Muslim, I would find it hard not say, ''Not in my name,'' etc, because that's how it is at that level I imagine. On the other hand, is it difficult for those ''regular Muslims'' to accept that, if taken literally in many ways, the Quran/Hadith can lead to such things? Is it taboo to go there? Is it difficult to realise that this is what the jihadists are doing, outside of any other influencing factors?

Just thought I would get in a few words and let someone carry on....... Oh, I might offer a DROP of poetry later.

Well as an interlude .
