Does Robert Spencer fear a racist backlash against British Muslims? Not at all. Rather, he expresses anxiety that the dhimmis of the UK will demonstrate excessive concern for Muslim sensibilities, “making it altogether possible that the London bombings will end up winning more concessions for Muslims in the UK than they would have won otherwise. The idea that they are lashing out in frustration because their legitimate grievance is not being redressed, combined with utter ignorance of the jihad ideology, could make 7/7 the end of resistance to the proposed religious hatred law, and the beginning of more accommodations.”
