Priorities

At long last. After months of anti-Semitic comments in upper-class drawing rooms, vile attacks against Israel on the BBC, 100 attacks on synagogues since 2000, teenage robbers who target Jews, and a general rise in anti-Semitic acts, the British government is finally doing something to protect its Jews: it's passing a law banning discrimination on religious grounds.
Not quite.
The law will stop Muslims preaching against members of other religions. But only incidentally. According to the BBC, the real reason the law is being passed is because... "The government is worried in particular about discrimination against Muslims."
This, on the same day the government refused to stop the Muslim Brotherhood's spiritual leader Dr Yusuf al-Qaradawi entering England and appearing as the "guest of honour" at a debate organised by the Greater London Authority. Al-Qaradawi, who is not allowed into the US because of suspected links to terrorists, has publicly supported suicide bombings against Israelis, has said that the beheading of Nick Berg had to be seen "in the right context", and supported beating of 'disobedient' wives and the execution of homosexuals.
But ban him? We wouldn't want to discriminate against Muslims.
