‘A NY attempt to identify a murderous ideology with a great faith such as Islam is wrong, and needs to be denied,” declared Jacqui Smith, the new British home secretary, starting her job with a bang, or near-bang, as a flaming Jeep Cherokee (doing a fine impression of a Chevy Blazer) crashed through the terminal at Glasgow Airport, with one of its passengers staggering from the wreckage screaming, “Allah! Allah!” Two days later, nine persons, including seven Spanish tourists, were killed by a somewhat more efficient suicide bomber in Yemen.

Nevertheless, the new British prime minister, Gordon Brown, has banned ministers from using the word “Muslim” in connection with terrorism. As the Daily Express reported, “The shake-up is part of a fresh attempt to improve community relations and avoid offending Muslims.”
