He made the quite appalling suggestion that such attacks might have the benefit of forcing the British people (interestingly he sees these as separate from British Muslims) to demand a more "moral" (ie pro-Muslim) foreign policy.
As for Kempo, strange how to every argument he has personal experience: how convenient he's just been treated by a Muslim doctor and dentist who were both great blokes. I have a doctor and a dentist and have no idea of their religious affiliations. If I did I would no idea of their views on UK foreign policy, homo***uality and a host of other issues. Kempo is simply a fabricator and you should trust nothing he says. Nothing.
No, I didn't misunderstand it mate. I was just making a separate point about it. I knew that was what the spokesman was saying, as you just explained, but just that it's a lie. Even IF we did bring it all upon ourselves, changing our foreign policy to a more pro-Muslim one would do nothing; ISIS wouldn't suddenly stop what they are doing, and we would still be at danger of terror attacks.
