Sunday just keeps getting better and better for Muslims:
In an attempt to stop young Muslims being seduced by Al-Qaeda, women will be sent on training courses designed for FTSE 100 managers to give them the skills and confidence to confront fanatics.
(The comments under this news story are a joy, by the way.)
You’ll never guess whose ideas this is. Go on, have a guess. Oh, all right then…
Amid fears that extremists are becoming more sophisticated in their recruitment, Hazel Blears, the communities secretary, has concluded that a key way to stop extremist ideas further permeating Muslim communities is to give “the silent majority” a stronger voice.
It’s an excellent idea, fully thought through – naturally – and right up there with chain gang uniforms and ethnic rebranding. Although the article fails to mention it, no doubt there will first be sessions for those Muslim men reluctant to let their wives, sisters and daughters attend these courses with ‘business leaders and top athletes’.
So why Muslim women? Well, the squeakiest wheel gets the grease, as they say. And Muslims are the squeakiest of all wheels when you’re a weakening government with a right-wing vote to court.
The thing is, the groaning machinery of UK Plc has so many, many squeaky wheels. So, I’m sure we can be confident that, once this pilot is deemed successful, it will be rolled out to the rest of Britain’s women:
In an attempt to stop young men being seduced by violence, women will be sent on training courses designed for FTSE 100 managers to give them the skills and confidence to confront wife-beaters.
The possibilities are endless…
In an attempt to stop young men being seduced by alcohol, women will be sent on training courses designed for FTSE 100 managers to give them the skills and confidence to confront public drunkenness.
And how about…
In an attempt to stop young men being seduced by speeding, women will be sent on training courses designed for FTSE 100 managers to give them the skills and confidence to confront Jeremy Clarkson.
What better way to combat the pernicious, evil multiculturalism that Michael Nazir-Ali, Bishop of Rochester and many others say threatens to sweep us all away on a tide of hatred? We don’t want to entrench multicultural attitudes by exclusively singling out Muslim women. Let’s spread this horseshit around some.

I particularly enjoyed the contribution of Victor Arram from Westcliff-on-Sea:
What a load of twaddle. Do you realy believe that these Muslim women are going to stop their children killing the ‘infidel’ no way hosay.
Priceless.
At first I thought that the entire story was satirical fiction, realising that it is makes me wonder, again, how Blears still has a job. Maybe she’ll get kicked out in the Febuary cabinet reshuffle.
Confronting the fanatics…hoo hoo hah ha! Just…lemme get ma breath back…aye, right…. so, just which fanatics are we talking about? Wait a sec, I`ve got it – the ones with beards, yeah? But just hold on uno momento, mon brave, which are the worst fanatics? – the ones who fight against foreign invaders, or those who `liberate` with torrents of bombs and missiles? Is fanaticism measured, not by bodycount but by the fury of the rhetoric, not by the magnitude of the deaths of innocents but by the god they worship?
Yeah, I think we should certainly confront fanatics – one government minister at a time.
