There Is No Al Qaeda

Finally there seems to be a trend away from projecting the concept of an international terrorist organisation controlled like some multi-nationalo conglomerate. No James Bond style Arab villains living in cages in the Torra Borra, with giant plasms screens, stroking persian cats saying, 'bomb the London tube network'. No we know it for what it has always been, disparate groups acting independently but inspired by what is happening in the middle east. All the attacks in Britain were committed by British people. Question for Messrs Blair and Bush, how do we battle against that? In the UK, historically when we marginalised the afro carribean communities through intrinsic police racism, stupid racist TV shows like, 'Love Thy Neighbour' and we ended up with riots in Brixton and a legacy of negativity and suspicion against that community for being theives, druggies and killers and this restricted chances of further intergration because of those prejudices. Today we still have a racist legacy that hinders. We are now doing the same thing to the muslim community but i think that this level of radicalisation is going to be global and the encumbent backlash will echo for at least the next ten years. We can never know fully how this will manifest itself by imperialist type behaviour in the middle east won't help ease the tension.
