I see today that the Muslim Council of the UK have criticised The Govt for sending out a letter to over 1,000 Mosques asking that Islamic religious leaders look at ways to combat extremism and radicalisation of young Muslims.

After the carnage of Paris and a whole host of Islamic terrorist atrocities worldwide, the main threat to peace in our time is the radicalisation of young Muslims to take up arms and kill innocent civilians in the name of Islam. We have waited to see what the majority of peaceful Muslims would do, how they would respond .... We waited and waited and to date very little has been said by this large group of people.

So after the latest atrocity the Govt's patience is starting to wear thin and they think it is only fitting given these circumstances to put out a message to Islamic leaders to stand up for their peaceful faith and say NO murder in my name.

But what is the response.... Sneering criticism of the Govt for sending out a letter, yes believe it or not they are upset at receiving this letter, a letter David Cameron today stood up and said was fair,just,moderate and long overdue.

So where does that leave us....?? Why will moderate Muslims not stand up and be counted ?

My personal view is slightly controversial but I believe the majority of Muslims agree with the terrorists aims just NOT their methods.

I believe they agree with wanting an Islamic state and sharia law and all the trappings, I have never heard in 20 years any moderate Muslim stand up and say no they like the UK being a Christian liberal democracy and would vote if given a choice to keep it that way.

So I applaud The Govt for finally starting to ask the question of our Muslim brothers, if you want to defeat this horrible terrorist scourge then you have to stand up and state you are a peaceful Muslim living in a western liberal Christian democracy and you have no desire for that to change.
You respect the majority Christian view and are happy to peacefully co- exist in an atmosphere of mutual respect and trust.

Why oh why can we never hear this message......just a very loud public silence.
