British Home Secretary (=Attorney General) John Reid addressed a group of Muslims in east London, and got heckled. Here’s the Beeb report.

Personally I’m having a spot of trouble reconciling this paragraph:

“Following the speech, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair said it was ‘extraordinarily difficult’ to clamp down on Islamic extremism without offending large groups of Muslims.”

…with this one:

“Mr Reid later described the hecklers as ‘unrepresentative’ of the Muslim community.”

As to:

“Massoud Shadjareh, who chairs the Islamic Human Rights Commission, said Mr Reid’s demands were ‘unrealistic and not demanded from any other community.’”

Well, perhaps that’s because no other “community” is blowing up buses and subway trains, and flying planes into buildings.
