[darmstadt]

[stek]

Here's the embedded link..

He's now apologised and retracted: Emerson with Judge Pirro: No-Go Islamic Zones and Western Self-Denial :: IPT in the News :: The Investigative Project on Terrorism

"I have clearly made a terrible error for which I am deeply sorry. My comments about Birmingham were totally in error. And I am issuing this apology and correction for having made this comment about the beautiful city of Birmingham. I do not intend to justify or mitigate my mistake by stating that I had relied on other sources because I should have been much more careful. There was no excuse for making this mistake and I owe an apology to every resident of Birmingham. I am not going to make any excuses. I made an inexcusable error. And I am obligated to openly acknowledge that mistake. I wish to apologize for all residents of that great city of Birmingham.

Steve Emerson

PS. I am making donation to Birmingham Children's Hospital."

Though as somebody pointed out, by referring to "the beautiful city of Birmingham" he's made another ridiculous mistake

Okay - fair enough. So if he didn't make the mistake due to relying on other sources - how did he get to be so far off the mark.

Is he saying that he basically makes crap up all the time - and on this occasion, he simply got a bit carried away.

I think he's saying "It's not my fault, it was my sources, but I'm not going to use that as an excuse. Even though I just did"

Interesting - how do we know how our cities are portrayed around the world?

The fact that there are a lot of ethnic groups in Birmingham has lead someone to make a pretty crap connection

But maybe we should at least sit up and ask why........

[scooterscot]

Birmingham is scary, been there only once.

That was my experience when getting the train through Birmingham.

I did laugh at some of the tweets posted on the beeb article last night:

Birmingham's refuse collectors are all Bin Laden.

As someone born and raised in Birmingham, I must admit there was a pressure to read the Kerrang.

I hope that clarifies it for you.

He also states that their are religious police on the streets of London - which is a distortion of the truth. There are Muslim vigilantes on the streets of London, but they have no legal authority whatsoever (and should be arrested and prosecuted where found, for harrassment).
