Martin Amis
Still no word on whether his Nasrallah quote was ever quoted by anybody, but in the meantime I can't remember reading this before from him, and I still can't quite believe he did say it - surely there must be some context that is missing?What can we do to raise the price of them doing this? There’s a definite urge – don’t you have it? – to say, ‘The Muslim community will have to suffer until it gets its house in order.’ What sort of suffering? Not letting them travel. Deportation – further down the road. Curtailing of freedoms. Strip-searching people who look like they’re from the Middle East or from Pakistan… Discriminatory stuff, until it hurts the whole community and they start getting tough with their children
