Journalist Andrew Gilligan investigates how a fundamentalist Muslim group - the Islamic Forum of Europe - has infiltrated the British political system. Based at the East London Mosque in Whitechapel, the IFE has received millions of pounds of public money and has been visited by government ministers and royalty. Despite claiming to support tolerance and community spirit, Gilligan reveals it also hosts extremist speakers and stocks radical books.

I've been to a mosque in Corvallis, Oregon and there are no teachings like this taught there.

@citizenOfNowhere777 Muslims destroyed the statues and the last of their civilization that those Buddhists believe relate to a promised land called Samsara. When the Muslims destroyed such artifacts it was bound to elicit anger. Would you be angry if someone bombed Mecca?

[citizenOfNowhere777]

@SuperBenzid What are you talking about relating what Taliban did to what Burma govennment did? There is no co-elation between these events. You are just drawing a grass to hold onto. aren't you? Please stop wasting my time.

The Taliban did blow up their Samsara though. It is never right to attack civilians or burn a people's religious places don't get me wrong. But the Muslims blew up the equivalent of their Mecca in Afghanistan. So I blame Muslim militancy and the Burmese Government for that, Burmese government should protect the Muslim population. Burmese shouldn't attack completely unrelated Muslims. But still if the Taliban didn't blow up their Mecca none of that would have happened.

@What you don't get is that it's not because of the religion. For example, do you know how Muslims are teat in Burma, a Buddhist nation? 

[SuperBenzid]

@citizenOfNowhere777 Look how Muslims are treated in Europe in comparison to how the Copts are treated in Egypt. Or the assemblies of god in Iran. Christians in Pakistan. Or South Sudan. Or Indonesia. You burn our churches, kill our people and then claim to be a peaceful people? By comparison Christians are a far more peaceful people. Muslims complain about Palestine but then treat Christians even worse.

@SuperBenzid Are you joking? Germany got it going well because the winners allowed it. The winners allowed it because they didn't want a 3rd WW. WWII was a consequence off the bullying by the winners of WWI. Christians are peaceful people? Very funny!
