“Yes but what about Afghanistan?”
OK, we’ll pull out of there too.

As Abdul Rahim said – a sense of victimisation is seductive. It gives you a way of blaming someone or something else for your problems. But it needs a focus and Islamic solidarity (but only against western governments) provides this focus.
