I believe the BETTER is later than never. Two women were photographed at a pro-Palestinian rally last month sporting photos of gliders pinched to their clothing, apparently as a gesture of solidarity for the terrorists who marched into Israel kidnapping, raping, mutilating, and murdering civilians at a music festival.

Muslim friends of mine are horrified by the way the veil is portrayed in this manner, as well as myself. To see that a large number of British Muslims are abused by a violent minority is not only deeply distressing, but it also deepens societal divisions and makes life unnecessably difficult for the vast majority of British Muslims, who have no desire to engage in any kind of violent jihad.
