I'd say what Merlins on about is the application of a perceived double standard, (there's no shortage of them in life afterall) and not much more than that. It always struck me as slightly bizzare that a government that could sanction war in the sure knowledge that innocent people would be 'collaterally damaged' was strangely reluctant to lift a finger regarding an infinately easier intervention to prosecute. I can only assume that there were perceived tactical reasons for allowing Fridays meetings at the Finsbury Park mosque to remain 'open' as this might have been preferable to forcing them into an underground existance otherwise.
