I thought we were trying to stop attacks not provoke them.

Actions like this will leave law-abiding Muslims aggrieved and will project the message that the British people condone what he says.

If we are not careful these constant attacks on the Islamic faith will provoke more bloodshed which is totally avoidable.
This is not an "attack on the Islamic faith" at all. Why should Muslims have any influence over who gets these honours? Why should any religious group make thinly-disguised threats against the establishment over this?
