Jim you are a sad, disgraceful, lying, racists politian who is going to loose, so what do you do to a community that supported you before and right now you dishonoured them by not understanding their culture then stab them on their back.

Once again we notice that the IFE keyboard jihadi’s have no confidence in their ideology and no desire to defend it in public. Rather they prefer to divert the topic to ‘community work’ and ‘Islamophobia’ and ‘Muslim is politics’ – all of which are weak and silly lines of argument. Do you have any more?

You can read/ believe what you like as long as you don’t try to impose it on others.

So are you saying you will only speak to me on your conditions? Shame considering you don’t even know if I have actually read any of these books. Learn not to judge and take people for what they offer and you are assuming I belong or support these organizations. From what I saw on Dispatches I couldn’t see what it was trying to get at. If they are extremist organizations then the obvious link would have been to show at least one individual who have been directly influenced only by IFE/MCB and have gone on to commit an extremist act, or an act against the law of the country. How many if any did Dr Bari send off to blow themselves up?? But i’m sure in the department where he works and the community he works in many people have been inspired by him to go onto better their lives. I am one of those people. I heard him speak at a parents conference organized by the council and it helped to changed my life in the way I am raising my teenagers. Hopefully i won’t have to spend any public money in having to treat my children for drugs or alcohol abuse.

Give a little credit for the lives these people may be changing. Just out of interest are you involved in any such voluntary work where you are trying to get people of the streets and engaging them in civic society? If you do whats your agenda? And if you don’t then why not? Whose responsibility is it to guide the community?

My stance in life is you could be part of the solution or be the problem itself. Personally i prefer to be part of the solution. Before you point your finger at others reflect on what you have contributed.

Does anyone see the ridiculousness of this? Individual Muslims may be becoming more engaged in politics, running for local election and as a result party popularity amongst the community has grown, surely that is a good thing? Getting the community more aware, more involved. How so does the success of an individual Muslim and party popularity and member growth then have anything to do with IFE?

please answer that question….

You could start with publically distancing yourself from the writings of Maudoodi. Then explaining the ideological links between the IFE, MCB, FOSIS and Maudoodi’s organization ‘Jamaat-e-Islami’.

Once you ditch Maudoodian philosophy, we can then consider having a frank discussion. Is that ok?

If you genuinely have a solution for the muslim community on how they should engage why not as a decent human being that you are concerned about Britain come to the leaders and have a frank and open discussion with them and offer your valuable insight into what it means to be British. It is obvious we are struggling coz when we engage we have a hidden agenda and we don’t then we are ghettoizing ourselves. Please I sincerely request your valuable advice as i work with a lot of young Muslim girls. I could really do with your help and support rather than creating more divisions and fear amongst a good British society that I love and am a part of

but not criticise it.
