Reid on Islam

John Reid, the Home Secretary, has been barracked by extremist Muslims during a speech in which he urged Islamic parents to watch their children for signs of extremism. The barracker-in-chief is identified by the Guardian as Abu Izzadeen, the noted jihadist and Defender of the Prophet, who is a former member of the banned Islamic terrorist group al-Ghurabaa. Reid and al-Ghurabaa have some some history.

Reid's sin? To ask parents to take responsibility for their children's behaviour. The Guardian reports that Reid said,

...fanatics are looking to groom and brainwash children, including your children, for suicide bombings. Grooming them to kill themselves in order to murder others.
"Look for the telltale signs now and talk to them before their hatred grows and you risk losing them forever. In protecting our families, we are protecting our community."
