Curiouser and curiouser

The Muslim Council of Britain is planning to boycott this week's commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz (some kind of a big event at Westminster Hall). That's because it does not include the commemoration of the suffering of the people of Palestine (not in Auschwitz, I think).

The article in Telegraph said "it will not attend because the event did not include what it described as continuing human rights abuses and genocide in the occupied territories of Palestine", but I assume they did not mean that they wanted abuses to be included in the event, but just the commemoration of them.

Muslim Council of Britain are what is considered as moderate folks. You know, of the kind whom Al-Muhajiroun used to call "the voice of Shaytan". It is also Britain's largest Muslim organization.

I am a cynical bitch, of course, and the first thought that came to my mind was: will anybody else there really miss them that much if they don't show up?
