It's fine to fight British troops

Even by the Guardian's standards its editorial today is jaw-dropping.

Discussing the government's (entirely correct) decision to break off relations with the MCB over David Abdullah, it says:

[T[he government's chief quarrel is with the hypothetical suggestion that resistance would be appropriate if UK forces were ever used to intercept arms destined for Gaza. Very many Muslims, and indeed many non-Muslims, would agree with that.

As James Forsyth puts it on the Spectator's Coffee House site:

So, The Guardian believes that there is nothing inherently wrong or unreasonable with believing that it is justified to use violence against British forces attempting to prevent the shipment of arms to a genocidal terrorist organisation. This is as incredible as it is shameful.
