LONDON, United Kingdom -- A prominent British Muslim warned lawmakers Monday that proposals for tough new anti-terror laws could undermine the Muslim community's willingness to cooperate in fighting terror.
Abdurahman Jafar, a senior member of the Muslim Council of Britain, expressed concern about the Terror Bill, which was drawn up in the wake of the July attacks on London's transit system.
The bill would extend the maximum 14-day detention for terror suspects without charge to three months, outlaw attending terrorist training camps and make it an offense to glorify or encourage terrorism.
Addressing a meeting of Parliament's joint committee on human rights, Jafar told lawmakers that he feared a "really horrific counter-productive effect" from the bill, partly because of the proposed glorification offense.
He said the measure threatens to merge "the issue of illegitimate attacks against peaceful democracies, with legitimate acts of resistance against illegitimate regimes around the world."

What, exactly, is a "Prominent British Muslim" ?

Oh really? Then maybe these pompous undesireables (don't even begin to start telling me about what good people they are) should be thrown out of Britain. Warning lawmakers? Who the hell do these creeps think they are? The British Parliament?
Terror Supporter
In other words, the vast reservoir of Muslims silently supporting terror by inaction and averted gaze will become overt supporters. Let them "come out" and announce themselves for what they are.
Sounds about like the Mexican president when he complains that strict border enforcement will undermine Mexican border security.
Chuck em, preferably by way of a trebuchet aimed out across the channel. If they make it to France, fine.
Islam is turning into a protection racket. "Nice little civilization you have here. I'd hate to see anything happen to it. Why don't you do what I say and I'll tell my boys to just focus on killing Jews, eh?"
"Why don't you do what I say and I'll tell my boys to just focus on killing Jews, eh?""
Very "Hitleresque".
He knows the new laws will tear the veil off the phony"cooperation" in the Muslim community.
Let these silent terror supporters be outed.
Let them be dealt with.
That would be un trebuchet formidable!
Well, let's see. Prominent can describe pimples. Also derrieres, points, pinheads, blackheads, stuck-up rich women, stuck-up rich men, self-proclaimed Black leaders, loudmouth Democrat senators (loudmouth Republican senators are called "extreme right-wing"), dictators, communists and African leaders.
Sorry, none seem to cover Britsh Muslims.
Abdurahman Jafar
They need to shove these complaints up their unwashed arseholes where it belongs.
I think you just hit the nail with the hammer.
ccmay warned a prominent British Muslim on Tuesday that any sign of unwillingness to cooperate in fighting terror could undermine the British nation's willingness to allow the Mahometan filth to go on breathing Her Majesty's free air.
