UK Plans Collective Punishment

The BBC reports:

Government plans that could see the closure of mosques suspected of inciting extremism have been attacked by Muslim leaders.

Sir Iqbal Sacranie said the move would 'criminalise an entire community for the criminality carried out by a few'.

Not a bad point really - surely this is precisely the sort of collective punishment that the BBC and its european liberal clientel deplore. Baffling. No doubt there will be mass protests and young american liberals travelling to England in solidarity with the beseiged muslim communities there...
