| Maybe not directly related to our ummah. But I thought it was important. > 'All broadcast media was interrupted across the UK last night for a > special announcement by Tony Blair, which confirmed that the British > army had started a major counter-offensive against terrorism and had > reoccupied the "entire island of Ireland". > > Looking suitably sombre if slightly smug, and dressed in full length > military uniform, Mr Blair announced that the British army had > returned to Ireland and was currently engaged in fierce fighting with > many terrorist operatives in the capital city of Dublin and > elsewhere. The army is currently laying siege to the Irish leader, Mr > Bertie Ahern, in his administrative compound, the Oireachtas in the > centre of Dublin. Although the UK has banned Mr Ahern from leaving > his compound and from talking to the media, a brief statement has > been smuggled out condemning "UK aggression" but also calling for an > end to all "punishment beatings, shootings and other forms of > terrorism". > > "relentless campaign of terror" > Mr Blair, though, has refused to accept the Taoiseach's good > intentions and claims that he is directly responsible for > orchestrating the relentless campaign of terror against the UK.

The final > straw appears to have been recent revelations that the IRA has > started to rearm and also forge new alliances with other terrorist > groups around the world. > > "These cowards skulk and hide in amongst domestic houses," claimed Mr > Blair. "And I warn you, if anyone chooses to offer them succour or > sanctuary they themselves become terrorists and their house a temple > of terror.
