The head of the Muslim Council of Great Britain Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari looks like he is making some interesting claims in an Daily Telegraph interview that are summarised by the BBC website today.

and is reviewed at
Gullibility 

Making a very valid point about the demonising of the Jews in Nazi Germany, he infers through this example that a similar thing is happening in the UK! How conveniently he overlooks the
demonising of British society by voices from within his own faith
community continually suggesting that the generalised British Society
is decadent, and lacking in moral and spiritual guidance. Where is the evidence for such a sweeping generalisation?

Dr M, you are making some sweeping generalisations and cultural
oversights. You are underestimating the existence of the deeply
embedded cultural principles held by the majority of Briton's for
justice, fair play and moral rectitude. You underestimate the general
knowledge and sense of history of many in this country. You seem to be
presuming that general British society
should be deferential to your qualification and must therefore accept
your point of view unquestioningly and gratefully because you are SO
clever. Please be aware that you are
not speaking to your usual audience of partially educated, unduly
deferential, critically prohibited individuals with their quasi-
medieval mindset.

Stop mischief making and start making a positive contribution to society!
