U.K.: Muslim officials sit during standing ovation for war hero
Whose side are they on? He was fighting the Taliban and threw himself on a grenade to save his fellow soldiers.
Two Muslim councillors were under fire today after they refused to take part in a standing ovation to honour a Marine who won the George Cross.
Salma Yaqoob and Mohammed Ishtiaq remained seated during a ceremony for Lance Corporal Matthew Croucher.
The 26-year-old was awarded the George Cross after he flung himself onto a Taliban hand grenade to save his comrades during an ambush in Helmand Province in 2008.
He was serving with 40 Commando when his patrol came under fire but he miraculously survived because his backpack took the force of the blast.Go read the whole thing at Jihad Watch.
