And so it emerges that the Police later said two men had been arrested near the Danish embassy during the cartoon protests in London on Friday. Of the arrested men the BBC reports that the individuals “were arrested to prevent a breach of the peace, after a search by officers found leaflets including cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed," a Met spokeswoman said. Of course! So we can presume these nasty little upstarts were white then.

On the one hand I can accept that to avoid mass riots breaking out between Hezbollah bigots and those pesky white bigots, the police had to step in. But to have painstakingly avoided arresting those waving banners asking for heads to be severed, threatening bombs are on their way and death to anyone showing the cartoons….nada. Smack of double standards?

The whole cartoon issue raised by the European media has highlighted a lot of burning double standard issues at long long last and uncovered some nasty hidden truths that we as a society simply refuse to deal with. And which the European media were entirely justified in underlining. The Danish editor has continued to honourably justify his decision that muslims must be made aware they will be treated the same as anyone else in Denmark – eg equally. Nothing wrong in that. Christians and Jews are a regular source for amusement. The Life of Brian, Last Temptation of Christ, the Da Vinci Code and so on and so forth did not result in anything like the hardcore mass mentalism we have seen this weekend. And in Syria where they have all totally lost the plot on the issue, the news teams there thought it fair game to show a picture of the Israelis eating Palestinian children not so long ago.

David Davis has spoken out and proves the Conservatives do still have a backbone - by insisting those islamothugs be brought to justice. After all if the BBC can put Nick Griffin in the dock for doing nothing more than predicting the future then surely bleedingly obvious threats in the here and now should be dealt with. Double standards?

Asghar Bukhari, chairman of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee, joined ranks with David Davis and some Labour MPs in calling for the protesters in London to face justice for their clear concisely levelled hatred. And he predictably repeats that this was limited to a minority of extremists not representative of the muslim voice in this country. That’s all well and good but you’ll need to shout a lot lot harder. Since at roughly the same time Mr Mustafa of Hizb ut-Tahir was also condemning the London protests and the slogans, in his organisations thankfully peaceful demos Saturday. But then tellingly went on to argue that "the governments of the Muslim world (must) completely sever all contact with European governments" until they had "controlled the media". "If you want to debate and criticise then we are ready and we have been waiting, but we are not going to accept these images," he said. Whats wrong with that message. Anyone?

Hizb ut-Tahir are a voice representing muslims in this country. This is the same organisation that is THE champion of muslim womens ‘freedoms’ in this country. Cherie Blair rushed to defend these pseudorights put forward by this group and ensure that the burqa remained firmly wrapped around one ‘free thinking’ students head. Free thinking according to Hizb ut-Tahir you understand, they who advocate state controlled media.

The Danish editor underlines and justifies his actions when he stated that equality is at stake. But the British media remain firm surrender monkeys. They failed to see what was and is at stake and defend this by saying the cartoons were crap anyway and they need to be responsible. Oh, responsible to whom. Maybe these crap cartoons and the european media finally addressed some messy nasty issues which our leaders have so far chosen to ignore. After all they may have been crap but the islamofacsists went out and underlined the thrust of the cartoons point the very next day. Im sure everyone spotted the protester wearing a fake bomb belt. How ironic. Can I say that? Or is irony as offensive as satire now also.

And as for media’s noble responsibility I find it hard to take that seriously from people who regularly sink their pearly whites into sleaze, death, grief and despair in the pursuit of the journalistic cause.
