You have to understand that the religion of Islam itself isn't responsible for the actions of people.
Take Sudan, for example. Very ****ed up region. ****ed up for ONE reason - Mugabee. A really nasty, possibly evil man. He's just a man. Religion doesn't make him do anything - he does it all by himself.
You have alot of Muslim clerics and such in Britain that criticize Muslims that decide to become terrorists. And the ones that become terrorists are angry guys, sometimes with good reason for being angry.
The world isn't black and white. Its quite frankly very naive to blame solely religion for the worlds ills.
One of the biggest problems in the Muslim world is a lack of true knowledge and understanding of the religion of Islam and mistaking centuries of ingrained cultural practices as part of the religion.
MUSLIMS were urged by a senior Tory peer last night to make a greater effort to embrace mainstream British culture.
Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, Westminsters first female Muslim frontbencher, warned that too many people of her faith were allowing themselves to be sidelined into a siege mentality.
She claimed Muslims had the foremost responsibility to prevent community divisions emerging in Britain.
And she accused some Muslims of wrongly using cultural traditions like Islamic veils to cut themselves off from wider society.
Her warning came in an outspoken attack on Labours multi-cultural policies at a race relations conference in London.
The peer appointed Shadow Community Cohesion Minister by David Cameron earlier this year was speaking a week after travelling to Sudan to help secure the release of teacher Gillian Gibbons, imprisoned for allowing children to name a teddy bear Mohammed.
Lady Warsi said: As long as the Muslim community remains in a victim culture, a siege mentality, they allow others to control the debate.
She feared that Islamic extremists were exploiting the isolation of some Muslims.
The peer added: We must accept that were all in this together, but Muslims have an added responsibility to defeat extremism because extremism is claimed in the name of Islam.
And she rounded on Muslims who claimed female veils were an essential part of their religion.
Many confused cultural traditions from countries like Saudi Arabia and Sudan with religious issues.
She said: Confusing the cultural and the religious is wrong because its divisive. It leads to separation as devout young people think its their religious duty to cut themselves off from wider society.
Lady Warsi admitted being distressed by extremists who wanted Britain to be turned into an Islamic state.
She said: Ive got a clear message to the hardliners and hotheads who claim to speak for British Muslims...
When you say that voting is un-Islamic, youre wrong.
When you say that women should not have access to education or employment, that womens equality is un-Islamic or that women should not adopt leadership positions like politics, youre wrong, wrong, wrong.
Turning to the issue of veils, she said: If a woman wants to wear the face veil in her private life she should be free to do so.
But she should be free to do so, as she is free to wear any other dress she feels is appropriate. No one has a right to insist that she should wear the veil in her private life just as no one has a right to insist she should not.
Lady Warsi criticised Labour policies for encouraging the doctrine of separate identity.
She said: Multi-culturalism has been manipulated to entrench the right to difference a divisive concept to the point of hostility.
She said: To me, Britishness means the opposite of what it means to Gordon. I was brought up to believe that being British meant you didnt go on about it.
Britishness is not something that can be put in words. It is about institutions and traditions, and the shared values which are often felt more than spoken.
