British Muslim calls for action on jihadi subculture after beheading video
Yahoo News UK ^ | 21st August 2014 | Kate Holton and Raheem Salman

'A senior British Muslim called on Thursday for action to tackle a jihadi sub-culture after an Islamic State video showed a suspected Briton beheading U.S. journalist James Foley held hostage in Syria.

In Britain, the video caused particular shock as it featured the as yet unidentified man apparently speaking with a southeastern English accent, although the sizeable numbers of young British Muslims fighting with the militants in Iraq and Syria have created concern for some time.

Sir Iqbal Sacranie, an adviser to the Muslim Council of Britain, said Britons from across the country's communities had to stop young men being seduced by radical ideologies.

"This sub culture of this 'jihadi-cool' - as they call it in the media - within the margins of society ..., that is the real challenge," he told BBC Radio. "This is a problem that affects all of us and it will only be dealt with more effectively if all of us are working together on this."

Sacranie said the Muslim community was pushing the message that "this is totally alien to Islam" and families were reporting to the authorities when they discovered their sons had headed to the Middle East to fight.

British officials have also expressed concern that the young men will return home to plan attacks there.'

British imams say Isis ‘is not what Muslims stand for’

‘Leading British imams and clerics have released a video rejecting the Islamic State’s ideology following the apparent beheading of American journalist James Foley.

The film, posted on YouTube, aims to “tackle the ISIS ideology of barbarism, persecuting minorities, brutal murder and enslavement of women.”’

Hey, Sir Iqbal. I think you are too late. I think things are out of control and you are going to reap the whirlwind.

These are British born citizens. They are natural citizens. The government has to let them back in.

ISIS will now go after this clown, Sir whatever his name is. So then any “moderate” muslims will be afraid to speak out.

No it is not. It is Islam.
So is lying (lying to others, and lying to yourself).

You mean like when a muslim who butchered a British serviceman on a public street in broad daylight as the serviceman's fellow countrymen stood by and did nothing?

It’s hard to credit this guy with any sort of honor or courage.

What he says should have been articulated LLLLLOOOOOOONNNNNGGG ago!

The failure of ‘moderate’ Muslims to challenge this conduct is as much the problem as the actions of extremists.

He is just talking and we are way past words at this point!

The murder was over before most people knew what was happening. Some men tried to intervene, but were attacked themselves. Also one was armed with a gun.

Look, I know y’all would done blown them away in the good ol’ US of A, but give it a rest, eh?.

I wonder if the US is going to put US citizens who fought for ISIS or other Muslim groups in GITMO instead of letting them back in the US.

That would make sense, so I'm guessing probably not.

British Muslim calls for action on jihadi subculture...
++++++++
The Islamites are trying to convince the world that they are appalled by beheading even though it’s part and parcel of their culture.

What they are really ‘concerned’ about is when they are done on video for the world to see.

The stupidity of islamic logic. Muslims oddly can not clean up their own backyard yet probably want non-muslims to do it since islam is the religion of peace!!
