Sadiq Khan & Alan Johnson Do A Runner

It's called pretending to be earnest and giving the illusion of listening to the community.

But it seems they don't even do that anymore.

Just so we can show how important we are to the economy, why not have a day off from work. Is there a Muslim Taxi Drivers Association to protest against the mistreatment of our families and officials by the same people we serve every day?

to prove what effect lobbying and voteing has loook at israel a far away land but look at there reach they've got AIPAC and the Israel Lobby in america in the uk you've got lib dem friends of israel, conservative friends of israel and labour friends of israel on top of that they've got the israel lobby as well, the problems with us muslims is were to lazy to get up of our back sides and think some one else will do it for us or were only interested in makeing money, give it a few more years they will be kicking us out in numbers british citizen or not you've been warned...

pheonix raises an interesting point about how Arab / Muslim states see themselves and the disparity between that and UK Muslim self-perception.
pheonix highlights that AIPAC, and the various friends of Israel are busy prmoting Israel's interests, while "muslims is were to lazy to get up of our back sides".
However pheonix overlooks the fact that virtually every Arab / Muslim state has lobbies of their own to promote their own interests. There isn't a Muslim lobby group because their isn't a single Muslim state / Khalifat, there are many states each with their own interests. each is in competition with the others to promote trade, military alliances, get aid etc.
The failure of these states to lobby against Israel may not suggest Israel's strength but the Arab / Muslim state's indifference to the Israel / Palestine situation.
But pheonix is right in another way. Hundreds of thousands and maybe millions of Jews collect money for Israel, they invest in its industry, infrastructure and environment. Even though they may never have set foot there they contribute. The US Palestinians, who on average are wealthier than the average US Jew, while repeatedly claiming their love for Palestine refuse to invest in Palestine. They want the right to come on holiday every year and as US citizens harangue the IDF soldiers and travel about in air-conditined Mercedes pronouncing how this land is their. But they wont invest in the state and the commonwealth.
