suicide bomber apologises

Omar Khayam spoke to reporters this weekend after appearing in a suicide bomber harness as part of the protests against the Danish cartoons in London last Friday. What did he say? He said "I'm not sorry. I'd do it again." Well, I guess that's one advantage of being a fake suicide bomber.

Today, Mr Khayam decided he was sorry. He made a very nice statement, apologising for his lack of sensitivity. He admitted that he done what the Danish cartoonist had done - made a statement without respect for others. Only, of course, it isn't the same thing. Not the same thing at all.

Perhaps Mr Khayam decided that because he's currently out of jail on license (probation after completing only a portion of his sentence) where he'd been serving time for posession and distribution of cocaine and heroin, he'd better tidy up his act.

Update: 7 Feb - Omar is back in the pokey. Most likely on parole violation issues.

The Metropolitan Police were protecting Islamo-Nazi protesters with placards endorsing beheadings, but they did manage to make a few arrests. Two people passing out leaflets with copies of the Danish cartoons were arrested Friday - according to today's Metro, which is, alas, unlinkable.
