My God McNulty manages a double whammy of sense

1) The government's curtailment of civil liberties was way over the top

and

2) Muslim Council of Britain doesn't speak for all Muslims

    absolutely; the MCB are something of a Muslim elite, and don't represent the majority of Muslims.

    Just as a bit of background; most Islamic elites or those in positions of upper/middle class socio-economic status tend to have their familial histories rooted in East Africa or India.

    The poorest, worst off are the Pakistanis and in particular the Bangladeshis; who tended to be drawn from the poorer rural sending regions.
