Extremism, Islam and the Muslim Community- Part 3

The Forest Gate episode, shooting of Charles de Menezes, millions of pounds being invested by the government into the Muslim community, fingers pointed at the alleged failure of mosques, threats of banning non-violent Islamic groups, Media frenzy in the shape of press coverage, documentaries and TV shows, as well as the recent stigmatising of Rochdale Central (Idara) Mosque in the Policy exchange document titled "The Hijacking of British Islam"- All these factors have raised huge debate and discussion in the Rochdale community from all quarters- Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

Is the government demonising the Muslim community for Political objectives? Can the Media play an independent role in covering these issues? What role lies ahead for the Muslim Community?
