   Morrissey: Politicians too scared to blame Islam for Manchester attack!   
      
   Morrissey, a musical legend beloved of trendy liberals, has come under   
   fire for his surprisingly forthright response to the Manchester terror   
   attack.   
      
   The Manchester-born artist, a soloist and former lead singer of The   
   Smiths, attacked British politicians for their hesitance in linking the   
   fatal bombing to Islamic ideology.   
      
   In a blistering Facebook post he attacked London’s left-wing mayor   
   Sadiq Khan and his Manchester counterpart Andy Burnham, also of the   
   Labour Party, for ignoring the religious aspects of extremism.   
      
      
   He added that politicians are “petrified” to address Islamic extremism   
   directly and, anyway, have no need to because they have security teams   
   to protect them from terrorism.   
      
   Morrisey wrote:   
      
   Sadiq Khan says “London is united with Manchester”, but he does not   
   condemn Islamic State – who have claimed responsibility for the bomb.   
      
   The Queen receives absurd praise for her ‘strong words’ against the   
   attack, yet she does not cancel today’s garden party at Buckingham   
   Palace – for which no criticism is allowed in the Britain of free press.   
      
   Manchester mayor Andy Burnham says the attack is the work of an   
   “extremist”. An extreme what? An extreme rabbit?   
      
   In modern Britain everyone seems petrified to officially say what we   
   all say in private.   
      
   Politicians tell us they are unafraid, but they are never the victims.   
   How easy to be unafraid when one is protected from the line of fire.   
   The people have no such protections.   
      
   Fans – some who might now consider themselves former fans – rushed to   
   social media to disown Morrissey in light of the statement.   
      
   One said: “Funny how your heroes end up disappointing you. Shut the   
   fuck up #Morrissey”   
      
   Another said: “Ugh, wish #Morrissey would keep his ignorant gob shut.   
   Totally ruining my appreciation of #TheSmiths hearing such narrow view   
   points”   
      
   Another added: “I would remove all the Smiths from my shop playlist,   
   but he probably doesn’t get the money anyway #morrissey #baristalife”   
      
   Another, Tony Edwards, added: “From idolised to despised in one small   
   statement. Drop the act #Morrissey”
