Here’s a story from The Australian that gives an indication of just what kind of cowards we’re dealing with:
THE leader of a radical Pakistani mosque was arrested while trying to flee in a woman’s burqa as security forces stepped up pressure on a few hundred hardcore followers still holed up inside. Firebrand cleric Abdul Aziz’s capture sparked an exodus from Islamabad’s Lal Masjid, or Red Mosque, with 1,200 male and female students surrendering to the authorities a day after clashes there left 16 people dead.
The government of embattled President Pervez Musharraf hailed the capture of the firebrand preacher as a major success, after months of criticism that it was failing to tackle extremism.

Britain’s border controls were condemned as “non-existent” today after it was claimed that the suspected murderer of a policewoman fled the country by disguising himself as a veiled Muslim woman.
