MCB sägs representera de ”moderata” muslimerna i Storbritannien, men ändå kan de inte konsekvent ta avstånd från terrorism, eller extrema muslimer. Senast idag kunde jag läsa i Telegraph att MCB försöker lägga skulden för Londonbombningarna på Tony Blairs utrikespolitik:

Sir Iqbal Sacranie, the secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, condemned the bombings as an ”act of criminality” but said the leaders had made clear that Mr Blair could not ”simply shun the issue of foreign policy”.

Så som ”tack” för att Storbritannien tillsammans med USA befriar 25 miljoner irakier från Saddam Hussein, så verkar ”moderata” muslimer anse att det är ”förståeligt”, ja nästan helt i sin ordning, att muslimer slaktar oskyldiga britter. De mer radikala och extrema muslimerna håller förstås helt med:

Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed said that support for America over Afghanistan and Iraq and the re-election of Mr Blair had all contributed to the attacks.

”I blame the British Government, the British public and the Muslim community in the UK because they failed to make the extra effort to put an end to the cycle of bloodshed which started before 9/11 and on July 7 was devastating for everybody,” he told the Evening Standard.

Anjem Choudary, the British leader of the militant Islamist group al-Muhajiroun, said that Muslim leaders should not meet Mr Blair for talks while Muslims were being ”murdered” in Iraq.

Speaking on Radio 4’s Today programme, he declined to condemn the London bombings, which killed 56 people, and said there was ”a very real possibility” of a repetition.

”The British Government wants to show that they are on the side of justice and of truth, whereas in reality the real terrorists are the British regime, and even the British police, who have tried to divide the Muslim community into moderates and extremists, whereas this classification doesn’t exist in Islam.”
