Moderate Islam in Britain

Perhaps this explains it all- the tiny minority of extremists are those who carry out attacks, the moderates are those who simply support such actions?

Speaking about the Muslim Association of Britain, Labour MP Louise Ellman had this to say,

“They are an extremely dangerous organisation. Leading members of MAB have indicated their links with Hamas and their support for suicide bombings abroad. It is not tenable for a group to support suicide bombings in another country while expecting to be seen as moderate in this country.”

And Azzam al-Tamimi, billed as one of the MAB's leading political thinkers says of committing a suicide attack in Israel, “Sacrificing myself for Palestine is a noble cause. It is the straight way to pleasing God and I would do it if I had the opportunity.”

"It is not tenable for a group to support suicide bombings in another country while expecting to be seen as moderate in this country.” Good for Labour MP Ellman
