Gordon Brown doesn’t want to offend anyone, so his government’s to avoid little words like “Islam.” So can his government even talk about Zawahiri and his latest threat, in which he says, in part:

“Is Britain longing for al-Qa’eda’s bombings? We, and the whole world has seen what Britain has done … their intention to honour Salman Rushdie who insulted and slandered Islam.’’

Come on, dude, how about a little politicalical correct? Can’t we all just get along?
