Yes, I agree that I was guessing about the reason Swansea was included in the list. And I agree that the Guardian's story was a very good headline, but contained absolutely no content to back it up.

That sort of writing can be qite dangerous actually. When the Guardian makes unsubstantiated claims like that, it can only lead to feelings of confusion, fear and concern.

Thinking about it now, I belive a Kurdish Iraqi refugee (Kalan Kawa Karim) was murdered on the Kingsway a year ago last week. I remember being shown pages from the Evening Post referring to people by their race dozens of times in one story. I wonder who this professor spoke to about the alleged 'Islamism' in Swansea… because if it was the local press or elements of the local government and law enforcement organisation, it may well be that he would receive a misleading response.

But I'm playing guessing games again….
