Which part do you feel is inaccurate? I have little trouble believing that Islamic militants are calling on Muslims to use this opportunity to further their own agenda, which is essentially what the article says. The degree to which that is happening is not apparent - which I think may be your point.

I read through the article, and the nature of the 'militants' was never specified. If one looks at the Islamic websites, there are no calls for Muslims to join the riots, quite the opposite. The militants are probably anarchists.

One contributor [who?] says the rioters should adopt slogans similar to those used by Arab protesters during the uprisings in the Middle East this year. "The people want the killer of Mark Duggan punished" is suggested ...

But that wasn't a slogan by the the Arab protestors! LOL! They never heard of Mr Duggan.

I see the distinction you are making - between calling for action, and steps being taken on the ground. I would say that the Islamics are not involved in either. At least, so far. I wonder what will happen next. It is a bad situation. Some people talk of race war between "Asians" (Indian) and Blacks in Birmingham.
