David Cameron copies Ben Affleck's approach to Islamic violence

[Ben Davis]

Does his, obviously, superior intellect to Ben make this all the more disgusting ?

“ISIS has nothing to do with the great religion of Islam, a religion of peace that inspires daily acts of kindness…”

Kidding me, every day it's the same thing from the people in charge.

It's embarrassing and infuriating, as Muslims kill, rape and enslave their way across every societal boundary in Europe, our dear leaders line up in some grotesque parade of capitulation........... Why ?

Is it for Saudi oil deals ? I honestly don't know why. Muslims are some 4-5% of our total population now in the UK, the other 95% have to live under 24 hour terror alert. And he can say things like this ?

I can think of many politically expedient reasons for Call Me Dave to make such comments. The most obvious one (to me) is that he's trying to fight negative opinion of his recent anti-ISIS actions. By convincing UK muslims that he empathises with them, he can spin his airstrikes as 'having their best interests at heart'. The last thing he needs is civil unrest at home so if he has islamic opinion split over his motives and the support of the softer liberal crowd he reduces the chance of either any action being taken by pro-islamist groups or general public support for any action taken by those groups.

It's also likely that he's trying to stay in power. This has 2 main aspects to it:

a) being nice to voters
b) limiting the recent progress made by UKIP through combatting marginalisation of the islamic minority

Although ultimately self-serving, the second impact has potential positives. Certainly by making negative comments about islam, he would be feeding the fires that are currently being fanned by the likes of UKIP who are in the process of siphoning-off Conservative voters. I'm for any action that weakens UKIP.
