Britain - Muslim Groups Radical Links

File this under I told you so.

The Muslim Council of Britain is officially the moderate face of Islam. Its pronouncements condemning the London bombings have been welcomed by the government as a model response for mainstream Muslims. The MCB's secretary general, Iqbal Sacranie, has recently been knighted and senior figures within the organisation have the ear of ministers.

But an Observer investigation can reveal that, far from being moderate, the Muslim Council of Britain has its origins in the extreme orthodox politics in Pakistan. And as its influence increases through Whitehall, many within the Muslim community are growing concerned that this self-appointed organisation is crowding out other, genuinely moderate, voices of Muslim Britain.

Guess who Sacranie blames for this article? The pro-Israeli British media. The Guardian pro-Israeli?

The strain of Islamic ideology favoured by the MCB leadership and many of its affiliate organisations is inspired by Maulana Maududi, a 20th-century Islamic scholar little known in the West but hugely significant as a thinker across the Muslim world. His writings, which call for a global Islamic revival, influenced Sayyid Qutb, usually credited as the founding father of modern Islamic radicalism and one of the inspirations for al-Qaeda.

In Maududi's worldview all humanity was split into believers (practising Muslims) and non-believers, whom he describes as 'barbarians'. He was deeply critical of notions such as nationalism and feminism and called on Muslims to purge themselves of Western influence.

Ah, yes, the religion of peace and tolerance.

You might recall it was Sacarnie who said:

'There is no such thing as an Islamic terrorist. This is deeply offensive. Saying Muslims are terrorists would be covered by this provision' [the proposed religious hate law] .

Be sure to read the rest of this disturbing article.

America's version of the MCB is CAIR and it too has links to terrorists.

These groups are suppose to represent so called moderate Muslims but as you can plainly see these groups are anything but moderate.

Do you still believe there is such a thing as a moderate Muslim? By their tacit approval of such organizations they are supporting their radical cause - the Islamization of the West.
