As Though They Have A Voice

Whose idea was it for the Today programme to invite on a spokesman for Hizb ut-Tahrir to argue that Muslims feel voiceless?

As much as anything else, he not only blew out of the water David Cameron's desire to line up with our beloved Central Asian despots, though also with the Syrian regime that we wish to overthrow, and ban Hizb ut-Tahrir, but he also wiped the floor with John Humphrys.

Humphrys was left blustering that the conviction of a man for insulting British troops on Facebook, and the bans on Holocaust denial and on denial of the Armenian Genocide in Germany and France, were entirely different from other cultures' red lines protecting Muhammad.

The man from Hizb ut-Tahrir made no attempt to condemn that conviction or those bans, although he did condemn violence in response to insults against the Prophet.

And he left Humphrys defending the view of Barack Obama that any Muslim male of potential military service age was a legitimate military target, including for drone attack. But the people around Romney are even worse.
