Banned Scholar in Blair's Consultation Exercise
In Britain, there is now an attempt to try yet again to consult with leaders of the Muslim communities, to find a way to stop extremist Muslim groups becoming more alienated and more extreme. Instead of banning the Koran, and outlawing Islam, which would be one way to get rid of extremism, the tactic of consultation, or appeasement, is once again advocated.
This group, sponsored by and under the tutelage of the Home Office, is called: the "Working Group on Tackling Extremism". The exact names of the 13 individuals to be included in this taskforce have not yet been publicly revealed. They are expected to report their findings by late September. One of the 13 is known to be Labour MP, Shahid Malik, and it is fairly certain that another is the hypocritical and untrustworthy spokesperson for the Muslim Council for Britain, Inayat Bunglawala.
A report in today's Guardian newspaper suggests that one of those on the taskforce does not even live in Britain, and has been banned from entering both the United States and Britain. This individual, who is based in Geneva, is Tariq Ramadan. According to Mike Whine of the Jewish Community Security Trust:
"It's a strange choice given his past statements which some have viewed as being anti-Jewish. Some of our community view him as extreme.When will Britain's representatives ever learn? With Ramadan on the panel, nothing concrete will be achieved. He does not even live here, so is hardly a good guide on to how to neutralise the extremism of UK Muslim youth."He speaks with two voices, one for his European audience which appears moderate, and one for his Arab hinterland where he voices many of the demands of Islamists.
"He is at the soft end of the Islamist extreme spectrum."
