Is racism in Britain over? The visitor from Mars would be expected to think so, if the focus on Muslims were the guide. So how effective has the racist agenda in Blair's Britain been? How many decades will the racist institutionalisation take before we are back to something like an anti-racist political stage again?

Should the Sikhs be happy to distance themselves from the because Blair tells the Sikhs that the target are the Muslims, not the Sikhs?

Should the Hindus celebrate this apparently unique attention against Muslims that Blair has personified these past five years?

Perhaps even the Jews should pause and reflect on the consolidation of racism that ahs taken place under the guise of ‘Muslims’ and ‘extremists’ in Britain.


Even those ‘trade unionists’ and the ‘unusually accommodated’ ethnicity tokens from the African backgrounds should perhaps refle3ct on why it is that there is so much attention on alleged Muslim extremists while practically no reference to any of the most persistent racist stereotypes that dominated the agene of the Daily Mail, the rightwing ‘writers and broadcasters’!


For if Blair is allowed to get way with this irrational propaganda that Muslims equal extremsits equal terror equal enemy then any of the other groups that can so similarly be identified can be made the target of the next attack.

What will THEY do then?
