After last year's London bombings, Tony Blair summoned Britain's four
Muslim MPs to Downing Street to tell them that they must play their
part in rooting out the "poisonous and perverted misrepresentation" of
Islam in our midst.
Keen to maintain the fiction that the bombings were the product of an
Islamic extremism cultivated in isolation from his own foreign
policies, Blair was relying on the quartet to keep the ball out of his
court.
