The discussion focuses on the revelations by Scotland Yard that they have uncovered the largest cache of arms - rocket launchers; guns & bombs since IRA bombing campaigns in the 80’s as well as documents detailing a far right campaign to carry out a series of ‘spectacular’ attacks on Muslims and Muslim organisations. The programme also looks at the horrendous murder of an Egyptian born Muslim in a court in Germany and the complete silence both from the media and politicians in the UK and overseas - comparing and contrasting with the recent media treatment of Muslim suspects during the so called ‘Easter Terror Plot’.
