A plan to radicalise Muslims

Ajmal Masroor responds to Ruth Kelly's six-point plan for preventing violent extremism and winning hearts and minds.

Communities minister Ruth Kelly has announced a six-point plan to deal with extremism and radicalisation among young Muslims. Here is my 12-point plan that is guaranteed to turn young Muslims into radicals.

1. Associate extremism with Islam and terrorism with Muslims.

The best way to destroy people's confidence is to continuously connect them and their faith with violence and fanaticism. They will feel victimised and under attack.

Oh! Jenin my heart cries for you
By Showkat Ali

The years have passed
Memories have faded
And the rain has washed
Away
The evidence of those slain
Men women and children
Buried under the rubble
Who Israel accused them of causing trouble

Their lies believed by the gullible
International agencies and media
Carried the story
Of the brave Israelis
Our story ignored
Because it’s gory

The brave mujahideen fought
But they knew it was to no avail
The Muslim leaders would not come to their aid
So they fought valiantly
Like we pray our last salah

5 Differences between the Mujahideen and the 15 British Sailors

1. The British sailors surrendered because they said they were outnumbered and out gunned and they had no choice and did the right thing.

The Mujahideen are fighting foreign occupation despite being outnumbered and outgunned they continue to fight and very rarely surrender.

2. The British sailors will sell their stories to the newspapers for 6 figure sums and get rich in the process.

Visa age raised to curb forced marriages
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article1563905.ece

THE minimum age at which foreign nationals can receive marriage visas to enter Britain is to be raised from 18 to 21 in an attempt to crack down on forced marriages, writes David Cracknell.

It will mean that about 3,000 people a year, mainly women from India, will be prevented from coming to the UK. Their intended spouse will also have to be at least 21 for them to be allowed into the country.

Review of An evening with Baba Ali at Imperial College 23 rd March

The event advertised as an evening with Ali at Imperial College, in my case became a 30 minute session with Ali and I interviewed him for two newspapers and several online journals and forums.

The event was a sell out with all the 800 tickets sold weeks ago and another 800 could just as easily have been sold.

The audience comprised a mixture of people, from the Islamic minded to the type of people you don’t normally see at Islamic talks.

Appeal Over Baby Named Jihad

The German interior ministry is appealing against a decision by the Berlin authorities to allow an Islamist to name his son Jihad, the Arabic word used for holy war.

Reda Seyam fought for 18 months for permission to give his sixth child the name after the registry in the Berlin district of Charlottenburg initially rejected his application, saying the name was inappropriate because of its association with terrorism, and "may endanger the child".
