UK - Muslim terrorism:"Multiculturalism is to blame"

Nice to hear it and even better seeing as who's saying it. See here for more on Michael Nazir-Ali.

So how does this dual psychology - of victimhood, but also the desire for domination - come to infect so many young Muslims in Britain? When I was here in the early 1970s, the practice of Islam was dominated by a kind of default Sufism or Islamic mysticism that was pietistic and apolitical. On my return in the late 1980s, the situation had changed radically. The change occurred because successive governments were unaware that the numerous mosques being established across the length and breadth of this country were being staffed, more and more, with clerics who belonged to various fundamentalist movements.


But here again, this is buying into the argument that Islam has been hijacked by a few militants. It hasn't as I've demonstrated repeatedly.

Still, nice to see people finally saying what needs to be said. Be sure and read Lord Stevens stance on the subject as well.
