“I'm just wondering if the Muslims are a minority or a majority on that council.” Doesn’t sound very rhetorical to me even with the smileys.

In the letter to members, John Williams, the council's head of democratic services, said: “It is requested that members do not partake of any refreshments until after the Iftar refreshments are served.”

John Williams isn’t even a councillor and a search of the Tower Hamlets web site doesn’t reveal a department of Democratic Services. Now I wonder where he got the idea from to send such an email? From the council leader - Councillor Lutfur Rahman perhaps? Surely it is more normal for the councillors to debate a change to meetings procedures? But to do that would show the Muslim hand a bit, so do it in a roundabout way.

Muslims will fit in when they are in the minority and bide their time until they get in the majority, then the rest will have to fit in with them. That’s how you take over by stealth.

Of all the suicide bombings in the world the vastly greater majority have been perpetrated in the name of Islam. Now the threat of such action sends the powers that be into a tizzy so they bend over backwards so as not to offend them just in case.

If a Muslim community does not get what it wants then they might resort to suicide bombings, so we had better back down seems to be the thinking of the PC brigade. The 7/7 bombings in London have had a far greater effect than most people seem to realise. It has some people walking on egg shells.

This whole sorry episode has been carefully orchestrated to introduce Islamic ways into council meetings and been made to look like it was not the Muslim councillors doing it.
