Sidi Abdul Rehman Malik resides in London these days. He offers his 2 cents on the British Muslim and the British Government reaction to the bombings. I cant help but agree with most of what he says......
"...It is the street-level voluntary and community sector organisations that represent the British Islam's hidden civil society, working to meet the needs of neighbourhoods struggling with violence, drug abuse and teenage pregnancy. These are the front lines of the fight against militancy and desperation.............."
Also heartening to see sensible scholars from Pakistan get coverage on BBC. They give their views on the Youth in P-land and the youth's misconception of Jihad.
"....................'Angry young Muslims are no longer satisfied with this doctrine' he says.
'That is why they go around to all kinds of ulema with dubious credentials to seek religious sanctions to deal with the rising tide of anger inside them,' he says........ '
"...Such theories are often hard to believe simply because they are not provable. But these theories are also hard to dismiss. They find a wide audience since conspiracy theories offer refuge or escape from harsh realities. It is because, like fiction, they make something out of nothing. It is the simplistic know-all answer for those who prefer easy, even if untrue, answers........"
