It is now obvious that Britain and the non Islamic world has effectively had war declared on it by some of the Autonomous regions of Pakistan. The Pakistani government either will not or cannot do anything to protect us.
We must therefore treat all those who travel in and out of Pakistan and over our borders as potential combatants or spies, just as we would in any state of war.
The scrutiny of anyone entering this nation who has been into or from Pakistan must be forensic.
LA says this for two reasons; the first the protection of our security:
Terrorism is about terror, instead of the state clamping down on all of our freedoms, clamp down on those who statistically may offer the biggest threat. If Britain's know that proper Border controls are in place they will feel at ease, and if they feel less oppressed by the situation they will also feel less threatened.
The second reason is the far right. The BNP will grab the suspicion this places on the British ethnic Pakistani community and twist it to their own ends. If it were considered that the threat was neutralized and those that are of Pakistani origin that are in this country are not hostile or a threat, the BNP lose.
Let us not have the sensibilities around the cry of racism lead us to an ineffectual course, which in itself will breed racism in our nation.
