#1 "Anti-terror code 'would alienate most Muslims'"

What's the downside?

#2 who cares - everything alienates most Muslims.
Even gasohol.

#3 I'll believe it when I see it.

"According to a draft of the strategy, Contest 2 as it is known in Whitehall, people would be considered as extremists if:
...
# They promote Sharia law."

Good. The authorities really should be properly investigating Rowan Williams' anti-western and anti-Christian preachings.

#4 3dc; I too am alienated by gasohol.

#5 Ah, muck the fusslims with their grievances and alienation!

They spent my goodwill long time ago.

#6 Oh, dear, dear. They expect the Muslims to more or less conform to the standards of their adopted land, and give up the BS they were indoctrinated with back in their assorted homelands.

About friggin' time, don't you think?

#7 These definitions appear to cover three-quarters of the Labour Party and half the Tories. Who in Britain doesn't support the Palestinians?

#8 "Anti-terror code 'would alienate include most Muslims'"

Fixed now.

#9 Except, in strictly biological way, they're already aliens.

#10 How can you alienate someone who is already alienated?

#11 Hopefully it's curtains to the old UK thinking which was..."one must be tolerant of the intolerant, otherwise you are intolerant".

#12 They argue that Islam bans homosexuality and that it is a sin against Allah.
Now there's a can of worms. Will the government next argue that Christianity bans homosexuality and that it is a sin against God?

#13 Boo-fucking-hoo.

#14 Britain is explicitly a Christian nation with an established church and a nation of sinners in all varieties, including, apparently, widespread buggery among the ruling class.

#15 If the five points listed offend and/or "alienate most Muslims", isn't that an addmission (tacit or otherwise) that most Muslims are already "terrorists"? Just askin', ya' know.

#16 What a laugh. This is so not going to happen. The two points about 1) the palestinians and 2) homosexuals are absolute deal killers. Someone can easily hold both of those views and still be very loyal to the state. Of course, if you explicitly made the exception for the paleos, that would likewise make the thing impossible to implement.

#17 No way this is happening, I think the chefs in the Guardian cafeteria put the wrong mushrooms in the risotto.

#18 The wrong mushrooms can not be un-noticed in the risotto. They just taste too foul. Nobody could eat them by mistake.

It must be deeper.

#19 People end up in the emergency room or dead all the time from eating the wrong mushrooms, 3dc. And, people tend to trust that professional chefs know what they're doing.

#20 the "wrong" mushrooms have purplish colors, are dried, and taste like shit (I am told). But they make an Andy Kaufman "show" even more unrealistic. When the entire college auditorium (besides you) empties to do the Hokey Pokey in line, you SERIOUSLY wonder if you ate too much....just saying. Hey! It was the late seventies...
