Backlash flashback

September 2001 - Attack on the World Trade Center
SBS warns of a 'backlash' against the Muslim community in Australia

October 2002 - Bombing of tourist bar in Bali
SBS warns of a 'backlash' against the Muslim community in Australia

July 2005 - Terror bombings on public transport in London
SBS warns of a 'backlash' against the Muslim community in Australia

November 2005 - Bombing plots foiled in Melbourne and Sydney
SBS warns of a 'backlash' against the Muslim community in Australia

Apparently we must beware of this backlash even in cases where planned attacks are prevented. After its fourth major unsuccessful outing, shouldn't SBS abandon this particular meme? The backlash has never eventuated, and is looking very much like the long-promised Iraqi civil war.
