Rod Liddle and his beloved Jihadists

Rod Liddle, whose columns in the GQ (UK Edition) I could not read without at least one loud laugh, carries this style into the more worldly newspapers too. This morning, reading my favourite football news page I came across a link with Rod's smiling face. On the other side of the link was, as you might well have guessed, another piece of political comedie noire about Jihadists of Britain.

A more critical eye will surely have noticed - and questioned maybe - Rod's obsession with Muslim groups and their political struggles, but I am not critical of Rod, not least because I find his writings exceedingly amusing. Consider this passage:

More to the point, these jihadists, allied (so it is said) to the exiled, grinning imbecile Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed, distributed thousands upon thousands of leaflets to the Muslims of Luton urging them to attend the demo, and all they were left with on the day were 20 bearded lunatics and, hovering behind the arras, a handful of ululating burqa-clad babes doing as they were bidden by their menfolk. In other words, an infinitesimally tiny minority.
