'Demolition Red' has said nothing new in the post which you are applauding which has not already been said countless times on here in various threads by myself, Nedusa, Livia, and others, so no one on here is " too blinkered" to "differentiate" between Islamic Fundamentalist terrorists and ordinary Muslims, and it is patently false to infer as much as being the reasons why supporters of the letter in question think it is a "fantastic idea" and why we do not regard it as "insulting in the slightest".
It is a fantastic idea.
The 'moderate', decent, peace-loving, law-abiding, Muslims in this country do need to 'stand up and be counted', do need to distance themselves from the Islamic extremists, do need to protest their outrage at terrorism and to condemn it. They do need to cooperate in every way possible with our Security and Intelligence Services with information or suspicions regarding any members of their communities who they feel may be terrorists or have terrorist sympathies.
The letter is neither ill conceived nor insulting and only those whose sympathies lie elsewhere than to the democratic country which welcomed them and in which they elect to live, will pretend any disgust or insult from it.

Totally agree..........why would anyone have a problem with this letter, given what has been and is happening with the growing rise of Islamic extremism and the growing number of terrorist attacks on innocent people, who would NOT want to cooperate in the fullest sense of the word.
Who would not feel outraged at the loss of lives from these attacks, attacks carried out in the name of their Prophet...it beggars belief muslims would not be outraged and would want to demonstrate that outrage at every opportunity.
So to nit pick about how the letter is worded or why do WE have to get a letter is ridiculous and slightly insulting if I am to be honest.
We tiptoe around on eggshells with these so called religious leaders fearful of upsetting their delicate religious sensibilities whilst all around innocent people are being blown/shot or hacked to pieces.
It's time to stand up and be counted and work with the all parties religious and otherwise to find a way forward that alienates and ultimately eradicates these extremist factions.
