Everyone is being blamed, from the obvious villainous duo…
““Everyone is being blamed, from the obvious villainous duo of George W. bush and Tony Blair, to the inaction of Muslim 'communities.' But it has never been clearer that there is only one place to lay the blame and it has ever been thus. The cause of all this misery, mayhem, violence, terror and ignorance is of course religion itself, and if it seems ludicrous to have to state such and obvious reality, the fact is that the government and the media are doing a pretty good job of pretending that it isn't so.””
