Lord Ahmed, the All-Party Parliamentary Friends of Islam Group and the Cordoba Foundation

Tonight, the All Party Parliamentary Group Friends of Islam (FOI) is hosting a discussion at the House of Lords about Preventing Violent Extremism with Arun Kundnani (of the Institute for Race Relations), Bob Lambert and Dr Abdul Bari of the Muslim Council of Britain, an organisation that is currently in the doghouse after its deputy director-general signed a declaration “advocating attacks on the Royal Navy if it tries to stop arms for Hamas being smuggled into Gaza” and “in support of Hamas and military action”. Those invited initially thought this was simply an event hosted by Lord Ahmed and FOI, a group he founded in 2001 and of which he is currently an advisor. Interestingly, according to her Facebook page, Yvonne Ridley, who quite likes Hamas, was a founder member.
