In an effort to isolate and marginalize the Muslim Council of Britain, the British government will hand out cash directly to mosques and allow access to government minsters. While I applaud the British government's efforts to marginalize front groups for terrorists but I don't think this is the best way.
What makes the British government believe that you can buy off religious sentiments with money? How does the government know what views the leaders of the mosques hold. Could it be possible that the mosque leaders will just say what the government wants to hear, take the money and then curse and plot against the very same government/society behind closed doors.
If the British government or any other Western government seriously looked at the motivations behind terrorism they will realize that its not from front groups or organizations but from islam itself. Sigh...it might be a while before that happens though. Times Online
Mosques and local Muslim community groups are to be given money and direct access to government ministers under a radical plan to isolate Britain’s largest Islamic organisation, which the Government accuses of endorsing violent extremism.....
The move follows criticism of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), which claims to represent half of the country’s Muslims, by Hazel Blears, the Communities Secretary. Ms Blears attacked the group for refusing to sack its deputy leader, Daud Abdullah, after he endorsed a pro-Hamas declaration that appeared to call for violence against Jews and Israel and condone attacks on British troops.
The Government is planning to deny the organisation’s representatives ministerial briefings across all departments in a move designed to undermine its standing among British Muslims.
