UK - Muslim heads stuck firmly in the sand

It's not just Muslims with their heads in the sands, there are many non Muslims in denial as well. Sadly, they will call this Muslim a traitor and not heed his words.

"I disagree with those who say the pressing problem is simply how do we deal with an aberrant, extreme minority who have unleashed a reign of terror on Britain ? rather, I believe the heart of the matter is Islam itself and how its teachings are interpreted. If we isolate the problem to that of the extreme fringe, then we are merely skimming the surface.

What we Muslims need to do is go back to our books: we need to debate the teachings that are used to radicalise young men and legitimise the killing of innocent people. We need to discuss and refashion the set of rules that govern how Muslims ? whose homes and souls are firmly planted in the West ? live alongside nonMuslims. Only when we do this can we successfully dissect the radicals’ interpretation of Islam and fight back against terrorism."
