Islam body to guide UK govt 19 Jul 2008, 0028 hrs IST, Rashmee Roshan Lall,TNN
LONDON: Britain has taken the lead among Western countries with large resident Muslim communities to fund a board of Islamic theologians who will pronounce on some of the knottiest, most controversial issues of faith such as women's rights and kamikaze religiosity, in what many see as an attempt to create an Anglo-Saxon version of Islam.
The British body, which is yet to be given a name, will bring together 20 leading Islamist thinkers. It will be financially sponsored by the government but is advertised as committed to the baseline of independent thought, with no reference to political considerations.
The British body will be distinct from its five-year-old French forbear, the Council for the Muslim Religion and will have more authority and weight than the UK's most important, existing Muslim representative body, the Muslim Council of Britain.
Analysts said the new British body has emerged as an attempt to sideline violent extremists who preach a hate-filled version of Islam dedicated to the destruction of Western systems and patterns of thought.
The new British body, which was publicly endorsed as a good idea whose time has come by communities secretary Hazel Blears, will see Oxford and Cambridge Universities host a group of scholars to lead the debate on key British Muslim issues such as women's rights and responsibilities and loyalty to the host country, Britain.
Radical Muslims have rejected the idea as a transparent ploy to create a British state-sponsored Islam that will be seen as a sham by most of Britain's several-million-strong Muslim community.
But the new British board for Islam is seen as a significant indication of the way Western governments are likely to tackle the issue of huge numbers of disaffected, alienated, resident Muslim communities.
Like Britain, France and Germany - the other two western European countries with large Muslim populations - already have bodies to represent Muslim opinion.
Scholars told TOI it was notable that Germany's four largest, mainly conservative Muslim associations got together in March 2007 to establish the Coordination Council of Muslims in order to define the terms of negotiation for the process of developing a consensus in society over the integration of Islam in the host country.
Good luck Britain!
no wonder lots of the young, educated brits are moving to socal!
You folks better watch the UN also. They have a commitee now looking at making it an International crime to say or print anything bad about Muslims.....no matter what country you are in.
Idiots.
You might have just solved their little dilemma:
The British body, which is yet to be given a name, will bring together 20 leading Islamist thinkers.
It is headed for here also.
And yet this country once ruled the world. Take heed America, your turn is next!
Let’s formalize it: The Supreme Council of Idiots. ;-)
Churchill must be rolling over in his grave!
Sounds like something out of a Monty Python sketch.
If this had happened in the early 70's, John Cleese, Graham Chapman (RIP) and the rest of the boys would have had a field day with it.
Hey, we might be electing one as President - the Obomination! His brother is a Muslim and so are many other memebers of his family. I don’t believe a word Obama says about that. He’s pathological liar and a street punk.
I don’t propose to know were Churchill is spending his eternal afternoons, but, I would guess he gave up on the UK many decades ago.
But an “eloquent “ street punk that remains aloof and calm...that’s why his schtick works so well , unlike Jesse Jackson or in the past the Black Panthers. Obama is a street punk that doesn’t “look “ scairy.
Enter stage left...The Magic Negro!
Not only are our leaders going to keep us on the slope, they are going to increase the speed.
If the Democrats win the WhiteHouse in November. 2009 will be when things start happening quick. Because the Democrats have several little plans to help the muslims along they are waiting to spring.
If the Republicans retain the WhiteHouse, it will take a while longer.
They are welcome to come see me about my comment. I have an answer. It involves lead.

Unfortunately, we are well on our liberal way down the dhimmitude (?) path of destruction. As I have stated many times in this chat room … I’m glad I old and shan’t be around long enough to witness the Islamifacation of the US. In the same voice, I will also proclaim, as a lifelong student of the Bible, Islam will never conquer the world.
Cheers!
I knew this jackass had to be working some angle:
"[belief in the Trinity] is difficult, sometimes offensive, to Muslims".
When his current church disintegrates, he'll just mosey on over to The Mosque of England.
Uhh...I think I see the problem.
the archbastard should cut his own pathetic, sniveling dhimmi head off and save his Muslim overlords the trouble. I hate that POS.
Put a fork in them. they’re about done..
Unfortunately for our friends across the pond, I don’t think that moment is as far off as they’d like to kid themselves into believing.
From observing things at a distance, I have to think that Britain is now under a form of totalitarianism. Monty Python could freely make fun of anything, but that was 30 years ago. I suspect that if anyone mocked those who want to impose Sharia on Britain, they would soon be brought before some bogus “human rights commission” and given a show trial.
One of the two sides will give in to the other. Hint: it’s not the one that slices heads off and makes videos of the event as part of religious celebrations.
