It annoys me when people say that Muslims aren't vocal enough against Isis, they are it's just that the media, by large, are not interested in making muslims look sympathetic. The sad thing is, if the mainstream media isn't covering a story than a large part of the public will simply believe it's not happening.
I do actually agree with Farage, Gadaffi and Saddam were evil but by removing them (and not setting up stable replacements) we've created a power vacuum in the Middle East which has given rise to Isis. There's very little point in blaming Islam as a whole when we're largely to blame for Isis' current position of power in the world. Isis would still exist without Islam but they wouldn't exist as they are today if it weren't for our help.

Good post Dezzy, its time we stopped trying to pass the buck. Most people with more than a couple of brain cells fully understand that Islam does not = ISIS and those that don't wouldn't bother reading what British Muslim Clerics have to say. Muslim people over here are no more accountable for what is going on in Syria than the rest of us and they certainly don't need to justify their faith to us.
My sister lives in Leeds and tells me that many Muslim women are abandoning the head scarf because they fear being treated like a pox on this country.
