Muslim Council cautions against 'demonising' entire community [Jihad threat - UK]

London, Sep 10: Cautioning against "demonising" all Muslims as terrorists, a prominent British Muslim organisation has said that continued negative attitudes towards the community could provoke a backlash.

"There are a few bad apples in the Muslim community who are doing terrible acts and we want to root them out," Muhammad Abdul Bari, the Secretary-General of the Muslim Council of Britain, said.

"But some police officers and sections of the media are demonising Muslims, treating them as if they're all terrorists -- and that encourages other people to do the same," he told The Sunday Telegraph.

Bari said the continued negative attitudes towards people of his faith could provoke a vast and angry backlash.

"If that demonisation continues, then Britain will have to deal with two million Muslim terrorists -- 700,000 of them in London," he said. "If you attack a whole community, it becomes despondent and aggressive." Bari was speaking at the East London Mosque, where he is the chairman, after a month-long tour of Britain's Muslim communities, during which he said he picked up a mood of "anxiety, frustration and, especially among young people, anger".

Fiftytwo-year-old Bari, who has succeeded Sir Iqbal Sacranie as the head of the Council, said, "we want to isolate the bad people and put them in the dock. But we all have to work together to do that -- police, politicians, the media and the Muslim community."

Continued support for Jihad has its conquences. The muzzies need to have "Stop Jihad Now!" signs outside all mosques. Until then it'll be more than doubts held by the infidels.

"If you attack a whole community, it becomes despondent and aggressive."

Not if one does it properly. In that case the 'community' becomes an unpleasant memory and nothing more.

I don't think that "Screw em all" is the answer.

How about taking the advise of USAF General LeMay: "Kill em all and let God sort them out"?

Works for me.

Yep. No point in letting the ones who cheer for jihad spoil the reputation of the remaining 5%.

In other words, if you don't stop accusing us of being murdering psychos, we will kill you because we ARE murdering psychos. Same sh*t, different day.

And I warn against excusing a single damned terrorist, because those who do so are damned right along with them.

You see the muslim Fascists know damn well they CAN NOT defeat the west with fire power. But they know DAMN well that while we can not convert Mooslims in their own soil, without the risk of a nasty death by sword, they can easily come over here and suck up all our rights that come with freedom, and convert the sheeple to their hearts contend! They use our courts to to benefit their EVIL demonic religion down our throats in our own soil. Dare not to discriminate against those who wish us ill, or their religion, low the ACLU and our courts will sentence us severely! They are demanding for our public school to observe THEIR holidays...and that's only the beginning! You ought see some of the mooslim ladies in their drag dresses...ONLY IN AMERICA! THE KORAN IS EVIL AND THIS PEOPLE ARE EVIL....sorry, I call it like I see it! Very few have the blinders of Islam removed from their eyes, but the majority have a goal for WORLD domination and those that don't convert to Islam are killed,...PLAIN AND SIMPLE...THAT is what they are taught from birth to the time they meet their maker the devil!

"LOL - 'Backlash'! You're joking, right? LOL"

With RATs in the White House, I can predict that their response would be: "Thank You, Sir! May I have another?"

Their is precedence for this. Just review the 4 miserable years of the Carter administration or the 8 miserable years of the Clinton regime.

There are a few bad apples in the Muslim community who are doing terrible acts and we want to root them out

That would be a grand start. When do you plan to begin?

Sounds like a threat if there ever was one! So either stop calling all of them evil terrorists or they'll all act like evil terrorists and... it'll be our fault.

When muslims start criticizing other muslims for using the word "infidel", then we can talk about demonization.

This is getting so tiresome.

Can't we just round them up for deportation yet?

There are no moderate moslems because there is no moderate koran.

BTW, how does one demonize that which is already demonic?
