UK - Muslims: "If you want Islamic law - move"

Nice to hear a Muslim say that.

And it's nice to hear a Muslim say this:

Maybe some of these “leaders” believed that cabinet ministers were being alarmist, that the terror threat posed by British extremists was exaggerated. Maybe they thought that the entire plot and threat were the “mother of all smokescreens”, a bid to divert our attention from the killing fields of Lebanon. Or maybe it was another symptom of that epidemic that is afflicting far too many Muslims: denial. Out of touch with reality, frightened to propose any real solutions for fear of “selling out”, but always keen to exact a concession — a sad but too often true caricature of some so-called Muslim leaders.

Why shouldn't they be keen to exact concessions? After all, Britain is in full Muslim appeasment mode.

He's right about the denial part as well. Muslims have to face the fact that Islam is the root of their problems. Muslims have to take ownership of their problem and reform Islam. I see none of that happening. So, in this context, Malik is living in denial himself. Listen to what he says.

In Britain there are no laws that force Muslims to do something against sharia and Muslims enjoy the freedom to worship and follow their religion, as do all other faiths. Compare Muslim countries such as Saudi Arabia, a sharia regime where women are forbidden to drive; or Turkey, a secular country where women are forbidden to wear the hijab; or Tunisia, where civil servants are forbidden to wear a beard.

Malik fails to point out that in Muslim countries, all other religions are persecuted. That persecution is not being carried out by a few militants who have "hijacked" Islam. That persecution is being carried out by mainstream Muslims who have been taught, by Islam, that all other religions are to be persecuted. In the home, at school and in the Mosques, Muslims are taught to hate all other religions. Here's a long list of videos to prove it.

While it's refreshing to hear some of Malik's comments, he falls way short of addressing the root cause of Muslims problems - Islam.
