There are some important points there which I would contend.
Firstly, are the majority really against terrorism? Drawing
parallels with the Northern Ireland conflict, I know several people on the
Loyalist (i.e. Protestant) side who never spoke out in favour of terrorism or
sectarian violence against Republicans (i.e. Catholics), but whose silence on
the subject had the unpleasant air of tacit approval. Are British Muslims any different. Secondly,
the assertion that “The Islamic solution is integration”. This I cannot
agree with. The evidence I see in news from around the world suggests to me
that Islam has all the characteristics of what Iain M Banks calls a
“hegemonising swarm” – it conquers new territory and replicates itself, leaving
only copies of itself behind. Of course, I have to accept that most of what I see
comes to me through a tightly controlled media filter with a hefty dose of bias
– Stories about Abu
Hamza are never likely to make many Westerners happy.
