At the end of October, the influential Conservative-linked thinktank Policy Exchange published a report entitled The Hijacking of British Islam, which claimed that 26 out of nearly 100 mosques surveyed had been found to be selling "extremist material, some of it antisemitic, misogynistic, separatist and homophobic". Seamus Milne from the Guardian questions the veracity of the report and the motivation of its authors in light of statistics which show that Asian people are now twice as likely to be stabbed to death in Britain as a decade ago, and four out of five convictions for religiously aggravated offences last year involved attacks on Muslims. read full story / add a comment

Every year the NYT issues "quotes of the year", hardly newsworthy for us lot who generally ignore the list which is awash with Bush gaffes & gurglings. But this year is different because Bush hasn't even made the top ten & the number one quote goes to a story which excited our interest & in its own way became a milestone in extended policing issues. I refer of course to the taser-ing of a student who heckled John Kerry whose immortal line " Don't Tase me Bro! " not only gave us a new verb with which to enjoy the usual holiday season scrabble sessions but was watched on youtube by hundreds of thousands of people just like yourself. read full story / add a comment
