As the so-called Asian News, this paper should have a hotline to the asian community that would confirm the almost-normal practice of sending young british muslims to 'training camps' for radicalisation under the auspices of voluntary or youth work. This I believe is what happened with sheikh omar, but dangerously, his passion for his religion has proved a more powerful factor than his M16 salary. I cannot believe that the words of Mr meacher are seen as astonishing - some of the best journalists in the world say that this chap could blow the lid on accepted version of world events since 9/11. perhaps the asian news - which has the trust and respect of the muslim community - should do a bit of investigating of its own and see if what mr meacher says is really that astonishing after all.

   Meacher's claim is not astonishing, actually, though the journalist who wrote this story says that Meacher's claim is "astonishing". To whom is it astonishing ?

When you read the truth rather than mainstream media propaganda, you will see that Meacher's claims are not astonishing but in fact are exactly what many journalists are saying. These are the facts uncovered by real research.

Thanks for publishing my comments uncensored.

Best wishes,

   Meacher is a former government minister and knows what he is talking about.

It accords entirely with the USA's practice of recruiting Muslims to commit acts of terrorism, admitted by former US national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski in his interview with the French publication Nouvel Observateur on 15/1/1998.

If the American government does it, it's hardly surprising the British government does it too.

   Mr. Loftus' credibility and ethical standing has come under scrutiny.

On August 7, 2005, on Fox News' "Inside coop with John Loftus" he gave out the home address of an Orange County CA home, claiming it was the residence of a known terrorist.

The couple, who have no known ties to terrorism, have been harassed and their home vandalized. The local police have stationed a squad car outside their home to protect them 24 /7.

The "suspected" terrorist moved out of the home three years before the broadcast.

John Loftus has demonstrated a singular disregard for accuracy and public safety. His actions seemed geared towards inciting mob violence and the public lynching of innocent people.

I would avoid him in the future, as his lack of ethical standards and inability to distinguish truth from fiction will mar any article in which he is used as a source. His name will bring credibility of those who support him into question.

FOX news has offered a one line apology in one online publication, Loftus has posted an apology to his web site, and he's sent an e-mail apologizing for his actions to the family.

FOX news has not published or aired a retraction or apology that even comes to the kind of exposure the original threat received.

The family continues to be harassed by strangers and their home is under 24 / 7 police surveillance. The surveillance is to protect them from FOX News Watchers who want to take the law into their own hands.

John Loftus has a tenuous grasp on reality at best. Anything he has said or written is questionable, as his recent actions have demonstrated that the truth is apparently irrelevant compared to his desire for publicity.

Because of his reckless and dangerous behavior, I'm encouraging others to stop giving this dangerous and highly unstable man a forum.
