Mr. Livingston is evidently illiterate. Mr. Littlejohn makes the point that there is a popular attitudinal difference in relation to men and women victims. This is not inflammatory, but rather a simple statement of fact. This situation can be easily illustrated by reading reports from Iraq. When they state "20 Iraqis were killed yesterday", they mean 20 Iraqi men. When the victims are mixed gender, the media will state "20 Iraqis were killed yesterday, including 10 women". Where the victims are all women and children, they will repirt the victims as being Iraqi women and children.

The reason for this is that it is men that are more likely by far to experience premature and violent death in all societies, and thus it is far less remarkable. Also there is the tendency to regard women as being impotent and incompetent, and thus more desrving of sympathy as victims.
Mr. Littlejohn's comments have nothing to do with Islam or the UK Muslim community and the conflation of Jenny Jones is absurd.

The failure to be symptahetic towards men, especially young men causes considerable pain in all communities. In the working class and ethnic minority communities this has led to a massive reinforcement of their marginalisation, denial of access to resources for learning and denial of opportunity. The consequences has been the social breakdown within these communities where young men accurately perceive that society has little or no interest in them, and they respond accordingly. It is therefore not surprising that these young men seek explanations in extremist politics.

the double standards are shocking, if a muslim so much as shows any understanding towards why the terrorists targeted britian and the us, we become apologist, and the one of the main chairleaders is richard Littlejohn and here he is, banging away showing amiraculous double standard. i wil be complaining to the PCC.


pity this guy isnt exposed in the way a muslim would be by the daily newspapers. anyway just goes to show.

Amazing, the UK and US citizens are operating as Private Security Consultants (better known as Mercenaries or killers for hire), in Afghanistan and Iraq, yet the British Government does monitor nor charge these chaps for murder and other crimes against humanity.

There has also been a petition to the Prime Minister (see: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/MERCENARIES/), yet Muslims have largely ignored this important issue that is detrimental to the citizens of Iraq and Afghanistan and other third world nations.

The Mercenaries, mainly recruited through UK and US based Private Security Companies are not accountable to anyone.

Would MPAC kindly address this matter most urgently.

Who Guards the Guards.

Richard Little**** small **** big opinion! This guy is one of those right-wing "political correctness gone mad brigade!" He whinges about everything and has the solution for nothing except being more intollerant to people different from him. He deserves the birch!

Guard the Guards comments. I would hope that mpacuk would print my article about mercenaries in Iraq, although it was sent them ages ago. I will try again. PIR and newspapers in the Middle East have issued it however. William Gladys.
