Really.......?
That'a not the view of millions of non muslims in this Country nor is it the view of the Govt who have become exasperated at the lack of real progress in fighting extremism in this Country.
With the Country on the highest terrorist alert for decades and our security services overstretched trying to foil one potential terrorist attack after another, clearly something is not working.
Having a Muslim cleric go on TV and condemn the latest Islamic terrorist atrocity is expected in fact it is the least that is expected. But where is the real movement for change at grass roots level, where is the openess from the Imams to promote the peacefulness of the Islamic faith.
Why are we not seeing massive muslim peace marches all over the Country condemning cold blooded murder in their name.
Having a few speakers stand up on Hyde Park corner does not really constitute real change.
This situation is the responsibility of all of us including our Muslim populations, in fact they should be shouting the loudest as they are the ones who stand to suffer the most should the Govt crackdown even further.
So "acting with one voice" when asked by the Govt to help more does NOT mean attack the Govt for sending out this letter saying they have no responsibility to help. They do, we all do but they are closer to the problem than we are so must try and help reduce radicalism and extremisim wherever they find it.
