Staying on the subject of compassion... or rather its absence. Comments from Joe Public about the deportation of Abu Hamza to the US read like something from Private Eye's From The Message Boards... but really you couldn't make them up: "only another 3.4 million to go" and joky comments about Hamza's suitability for waterboarding and death by firing squad...
Are people really so unaware of what they are saying? Is this real fundamentalism? Fundamental self-unawareness? What exactly is the difference between these fundamentalists of the right and the fundamentalists of the Taliban?
Or perhaps the question is: what is the obvious similarity?
