Have you ever heard of this guy?
If I was him, I'd watch my back. He's considered worse than an "infidel" to these animals.
OK, so what does this guy's wife look like? Is she covered head to toe in some blanket? What about his kids? Where do they go to school and if he has a daughter does she wear a headscarf? I would like to know just how 'assimilated' he is in reality before I climb on board his band wagon.
2 million muzlims in Britain and 1 speaks out...Hey, ya gotta start somewhere...But then again, bin Laden at one time denied having anything to do with 9/11...
Isn't that an interesting caption for the picture that accompanies this article?
Somehow, I don't think those white haired grandmas are moslem,
I wonder what he was telling them?
I think he also spoke out last year but was dismissed as a Muslim Uncle Tom.
I think this has more to do with the anger in the rest of the population and the steps the British government appears to be taking, rather than an act of conscience.
Of all of the thousands of things Muslims have said since 9/11, this is the first time I have heard this.
Tony Blair's crackdown on extremism in Britain has already started to unravel amid a storm of protest from moderate Muslim groups and MPs.
Less than a day after he unveiled his sweeping 12-point anti-terror proposals, there was evidence of serious internal divisions over key elements. The Prime Minister said he was ready to amend the Human Rights Act in order to enable the deportation of foreign nationals who come to the UK to foment terrorism.
He also named two radical groups Hizb ut-Tahrir and al-Muhajiroun which are to be banned, and said he would consult on new powers to close mosques, bookshops and websites that are used to promote the terrorist cause.
But Muslim parliamentarians warned that the measures risked fuelling extremism. Shahid Malik, the MP for Dewsbury, said he was concerned that Mr Blair's proposal to ban Hizb ut-Tahrir would prove counter-productive. " It's going to be very difficult to ban because you are trying to ban an idea. We need to defeat that idea by argument. People are going to ask: why not ban the BNP?"
Big whoop. Tell me something I don't already know, Mr. Maliik(sp?).
I won't be impressed until a Muslim, any Muslim, comes foreward with information the authorities can use to root out and capture an embedded terrorist cell already in the UK.
In other words, talk is cheap. I'd want to see action before I would offer any compliments.
Shahid Malik has been getting a lot of media exposure in the UK in recent months, saying very much the sort of thing reported in this article. He seems impressive, and if nothing else is probably due for a rapid rise in the Labour Party.
