From England's Guardian newspaper:
"The Church of England said yesterday that police counter-terrorism operations were directed disproportionately against Muslims and risked alienating them."
In other news, a CoE bishop was recently spotted sitting with a shotgun in a duck blind he'd erected in Trafalgar Square. When questioned why, he answered that hunting where the ducks were risked alienating ducks.

Not wanting to speak for PD, but I think he forgot to add the obligatory smilie for the benefit of those who don't know better.

Just a little British humor. Smiling would be uncharacteristic and completely undignified!

Yeah, you know, like this -------->  or this ------>  or this ----> :P It helps those who don't know that you are joking, especially when it isn't obvious.

OK, to clarify:
From England's Guardian newspaper:  (  = straight face)
"The Church of England said yesterday that police counter-terrorism operations were directed disproportionately against Muslims and risked alienating them."
In other news, a CoE bishop was recently spotted sitting with a shotgun in a duck blind he'd erected in Trafalgar Square. When questioned why, he answered that hunting where the ducks were risked alienating ducks.  :P

I wonder what portion of terrorism that the world is trying to counter is committed by, oh, say, Muslims?
