How Should Islamic Extremism In The Uk Be Dealt With?

[vernonk]

Reportedly last night's terrorists started their attack shouting "This is for Allah". The usual routine after these increasingly common events is for certain people to claim these are not real Muslims, and for a small section of apparently real Muslims to condemn these actions and admit more should be done within their community to stamp out extremism. Yet it appears to be getting worse, not better. To what extent do you feel the British Muslim community as a whole can be held responsible and should be penalised - say by the closing of Mosques and Islamic schools - at least until Islamic extremism is reduced if not eliminated?

Yeah cos pushing it underground will really work. See 'prohibition 'For the effect of this and times it by 100.

Zacs, so you prefer the alternative of open hate preaching then?

I'd suggest to you that when groomed the prospective murderous scum do go underground.

ALL faith schools should be closed.

[Zacs-Master]

Ah, see what you've done there YMB, is make the leap from me saying banning faith schools would push Islamic worship underground (and give them a further reason to hate us, potentially accelerating and exacerbating the situation) to this meaning I want openly hate preaching. That's not joined up thinking now is it.

Around half of all Britain's private Islamic schools are run by the extreme Deobandi muslim sect who often shun contact with non-Muslims.

It has been pointed out that children are leaving school who have never met or spoken to any child other than a Muslim one in their lives.

Quite a long time AOG. (Big cheesy grin).

The only ones who can stop this are their own community. An unofficial economic boycott would no doubt hurry this a along...

Clarion,
Well said, but as a species we aren't yet ready to do without religion, it's back in Russia after a long absence....
The really troublesome ones were all knocked up in the middle east ever a relatively short period and the three main ones all have schisms which are at the bottom of most problems.

Clarion; Praying 5 times a day (or any amount ) is voluntary for Muslims, and it doesn't have to be at exact specific times. I play golf with a fairly devout Muslim businessman and he has timed alarms on his mobile phone in a pocket of his trolley. When I first heard it I asked him what was, he told me it was a just reminder, but it could wait until it was a more convenient time.

'The infiltration of this ideology is reminiscent of the spread of communism and should be defeated similarly -- not with weapons, but by exposing its true nature and providing an alternative. The West first must abandon, however, the notion that radical Islam is an internal Muslim issue, any more than communism was a "Russian issue" that "the Russians" needed to solve.
In addition, the views of liberal Muslim scholars, who reject the whole premise of extremist, political Islam, should be supported and widely circulated.
Finally, imams in Western countries must be held to the same standard as members of other professions. They should be required to receive occupational licenses, based on criteria determined by the state, in conjunction with modern Muslims seeking a peaceful life and the ability to integrate into their societies without fear of repercussions at the hands of fundamentalists.'

He spoke a lot of idealistic bullcrap didn't he.

[ummmm]

I've just watched a clip by Tommy Robinson exposing a Muslim extremist 5 minutes from my house!!

[Zacs-Master]

With 23,000 of them there's probably one 5 mins from everybody's house.
