O Reino Unido deve ter cuidado como tackles o terrorismo e trata a cultura Islamic se for evitar de recrear uma sociedade reminiscent de Germany Nazi, a cabeça do conselho muçulmano de Grâ Bretanha advertiu.

Muhammad Abdul Bari, em uma entrevista com o telégrafo diário, criticou o governo para abastecer tensões na comunidade muçulmana melhor que dissipá-las.

Disse o papel: “Há uma quantidade desproporcional de discussão que cerca nos. The air is thick with suspicion and unease. It is not good for the Muslim community, it is not good for society.”

The Muslim leader continued: “Every society has to be really careful so that situation does not lead us to a time when people’s minds can be poisoned as they were in the 1930s.

“If your community is perceived in a very negative manner and poll after poll says that we are alienated then Muslims begin to feel very vulnerable.

“We are seen as creating problems, not as bringing anything, and that is not good for society.”

The Government’s foreign policy and particularly the Iraq war, which he described as a “disaster”, had been used by criminals as a weapon to encourage young people into extremism, he said.

Dr Bari also criticised the head of MI5, Jonathan Evans, for painting a bleak picture of the terrorist threat the night before the Queen’s Speech this week. He said: “I don’t think it was a good thing to share information in this way, I think it is creating a scare in the community and wider society. It probably helps some people who try to recruit the young to terrorism.”

The leader believes integration should be a two-way process and that the emphasis should be on the positive aspects of Muslim culture instead of the threat of al Qaida.

Muslim principles - including stricter attitudes to drinking, sex, marriage, abortion and dress - could improve the country as a whole and add more morality, he argues. Dr Bari said: “Marriage should not be forced on people but parents can be a catalyst… Young people are emotional, they want idealism. Older people have gone through all sorts of things and become a bit more experienced.”
