The new New Labour spin is that the latest round of bombings are not Islamic terrorist bombers, but criminals (that they happen to be Muslim is no longer mentioned). That might lead one to wonder how it is that the NHS can be recruiting criminals as trainee doctors - and whether all the foreign criminals they recruit happen to Muslim terrorists, or do they implement a strict diversity policy when it comes to recruiting foreign criminals? Will the Government be recruiting Christian war criminals from Serbia, a few Tamil Tigers and some white supremacists from the USA to balance out the criminal mix in our public services? I don't seem to recall that there was this sense of denial about the IRA - they were clearly regarded as Irish (believe it or not!), and they were seen as terrorists and ciminals, and I don't think that many were invited to come and work as doctors.
Am I missing something, or doesn't blowing up people contradict the Hippocratic Oath? How do I know I am going to be treated properly by someone to whose fundamentalist religion my existence is an offense?
