‘I think what’s happened in the Middle East with the election of Hamas is actually an opportunity and I think that’s the way we’ve got to see it. When groups that practice violence are suddenly propelled into power through a democratic process they get responsibility and responsibility can be a tremendously taming factor. And I think that Hamas, when it realizes that it wants a safe and stable and prosperous Palestine for its people, will realize that the way to deal with that is through dialogue and democracy and not through violence… I actually think that Hamas has been given a mandate and I think it will now hopefully adopt a responsible position because that is the only way.’
and
I think Hamas will, from the pressure that's now building nationally and internationally, will realise very, very quickly that they will have to denounce violence to make sure that they establish a peaceful and prosperous Palestine for their people, which is what they were elected to do.

Amazing how persons brought up in a democratic society lose it all.
And Micahel Howard, Jewish, had this to say about Ms. Warsi:-
"Sayeeda and I both come from immigrant families. Everything we have today we owe to Britain"
What did I say about losing it?
