    Can i ask, why is it that when all the arrests were made a few weeks ago the government went to the head of the muslim community to advise of the arrests to prevent unrest, now if we were arresting 10 British caucasian males, would a visit of been paid to the archbishop of canterbury to advise him? Just a thought.
