It's funny. Now that we have a firmer leader in France with Sarkozy, it looks like we have a rather 'Frenchy' leader in Britain's new prime minister, Gordon Brown, who seems to buy into the idea that Islamophobia is a bigger problem then the Islamist/jihadist terrorists:

Gordon Brown, has banned his ministers from using the word "Muslim" — and presumably "Islamic" or "Islamist" — in connection with the terrorist crisis. He has also put an end to the phrase "war on terror."

And Mr. Brown joins those who look upon terrorist incidences as criminal acts rather than acts of war. 9/11 or carjacking, what's the difference? When it comes to the inhumane butchery that we have read about today, the killing of Muslim school children, I guess that is just the reflection of different cultural values, and it would be wrong to judge under the enlightenment of cultural relativism as well.

Well, Mr. Brown is new and the Brits are eminently sensible people, maybe he will come around, especially as things promise to get worse with more 'crimes'.
