MI5 and police partly to blame for radicalisation – say four in 10 British Muslims

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/11526430/MI5-and-police-partly-to-blame-for-radicalisation-say-four-in-10-British-Muslims.html

How about Islam is to blame with Islamic radicalization? Or should we just ignore that?

When 4 out of every 10 British Muslims think people like of Mohammed Emwazi were radicalized by the British state, we know there is a very dire problem. Even more worryingly, 1 in 7 British Muslims believe the “values of British society” are not compatible with those of their religion.

Or is pointing this out "Islamophopbic"?

How about we blame the perpetrators and not the victims? I wonder how many good Allah fearing Muslims have gone to Syria this week?

So you are against the freedom to believe? Why shove your views down peoples' throats? That's radical.


People can believe in their silly sky faries. The problem comes when they think their sky fairy has told them to behead people who don't believe in the sky fairy.


Religion is poison.

Mohammed Emwazi was proven to be non-religious during his time at school. This proves that religion alone does not alienate someone.

Also, 1 in 7, yet you act as though it's 100%.

And how are MI5/the police the 'victims'? The victims are all in Muslim countries themselves, something which you couldn't care less about especially as you think there was nothing wrong with the Iraq War...

Oh so because somebody was not religious at school, that means they will never ever be religious. Great logic! I also have to tell you that he was religious at school. Sorry to burst your bubble.

1 in 7 is a lot of people given the amount of Muslims in this country. Its hundreds of thousands of Muslims.

Your last point is complete nonsense. There are victims in Europe, the USA and in the middle east. For example 9/11 was 2 whole years before Iraq. Save your vile waterboutary for Isoc meeting.

I'm not religion but I respect their right to believe in 'silly fairy tales' because it's none of my business. Their 'sky fairy' also taught them not to kill anybody and to live by the law of the land.

Again, you do not believe in the freedom to believe and you clearly want it banned. Otherwise, you are a nasty human being. Either way, do you seriously not have better things to do?


Haha no, Islam has commanded its followers to kill on several occasions within the Quran and in some hadiths. You are wrong.

I would not like Islam to be banned. I would like people not to follow it as its a vile ideology, but we can not ban an idea - it won't get rid of it.
I reckon it's the increased exposure to the likes of Anjem Chodary (Not even got any merit to preach on Islam), bad parenting and not integrating with others in society.

Coming from a Muslim.

1 - he drank and smoke. Why would he suddenly become religious?
2 - 1 in 7 believe MI5 and the police helped to alienate him. They probably mean alienation in general, as opposed to just the police. More so society in general. You may disagree, but how would you know? It's not an unacceptable opinion by any stretch. And the sample size is pretty small anyway, and probably done in a Muslim-concentrate area, thus not getting the views of the large number of Muslims who have integrated and don't feel alienated.
3 - you talked about victim blaming. MI5/police are not victims. And 90+% of terrorism related deaths still take place in Muslim countries.
4 - I'm not Muslim. I believe in liberalism. If people truly are infringing upon others rights, they should be stopped by deportation, or punishment. The reality is that barely any Muslims do this. And each instance in which they are is on Sky News immediately and spread 10-fold on social media by the hate organisations.

Try again.

These morons will have no understanding of this, though. Actually, maybe this is a cause of their hatred towards Muslims as well. Muslims have not exactly done anything to them.

1 - so has Christianity... and no I am not wrong that the Qu'ran says explicitly not to harm others and to live by the law of the land.
2 - that doesn't make sense.
3 - why not just be respectful of others views?
4 - why are you a ****?

MI5 are actually recruiting Arabic speaking British Muslims to spy on other Muslims

1) He was a Muslim. He believed in the "prophet" Muhammad and the existence of Allah. Just because he didn't follow Islamic teachings when he was young and was a bad Muslim still doesn't mean he wasn't religious. He identified as a muslim.
2) The police and MI5 only found out about Jihadi John after he tried to join Al Shebaab. He was already radicalised before the state got hold of him.
3) A couple of policemen and intelligence service agents have been killed fighting Islamism. Yes they are. As are we all.
4) Don't particularly care. You are an apologist and a sympathiser. You are part of the problem. If you don't like Britain and the security services, **** off to a country you do like.
Beheading, flogging, stoning, amputation, FGM, Jizya/kharaj tax, Dhimmi, anti homosexuality, Gender apartheid are all sanctioned by ISIS and low and behold all of the above are also sanctioned by the religion of peace (Islam).

Now could it be liberal Britain- that does not sanction any of the above- that makes some Muslims do these things or just maybe could it be the ideology of islam and the example of Muhammad- that do sanction the above.

Good. I already knew this, but good.

1) One minute you call them cherry-pickers and not proper Muslims, next you say he's still religious.
2) I don't care... I'm not saying they are to blame. Voters would no doubt be eluding to alienation in general, to make a point, and a valid one at that.
3) A couple... religion is not a threat to society as you perceive it. If religious people have declined over time drastically, it's not suddenly become more of a problem than it is.
4) Most in this beautiful country would like to see you **** off elsewhere. I contribute a lot more than you.

You are an extremist.

1) It does, and it also says to kill unbelievers and has several accounts of Muhammad doing so.
2) Which bit?
3) I'm not going to be respectful to people who wish to kill me because their sky fair says so. I'm not respectful to an ideology that is sexist, homophobic, racist, murderous and tyrannical. I'm not going to be respectful to anyone who believes in fairies in the sky or that Muhammad flew to heave on a winged horse. Simply put, I'm not respectful to ignorant bigots.
4) Hahaha, why are you?

Well who else would they recruit to do it?

This thread is bound to make the scum of TSR unite in hate.

EDIT: Ah, it already has.

So 4/10 say they had a part to play. That doesn't mean 4/10 are radical. It probably means they acknowledge a role, no matter how small. And that is justifiable. Radicalisation and terrorism is usually based on political factors... meaning that identity comes into play. Not feeling British and subsequent bitterness due to restricted upbringings, feeling unwelcome, failing in British society etc. makes you want to attach to something for novelty purposes. Mohammed Emwazi has been brought up here... you would say he was a king 'cherry-picker' of Islam. So if he wasn't that religious originally, what made him want to go against British interests? Now, MI5 and the police may or may not have played a major role in that and I personally don't believe that they did. But what the generally may be eluding to is this issue of not feeling part of Britain, which has a whole host of factors attributing it.


so they thought ima cut off someone's head because i don't feel British

The British are specialists in espionage they should be able to do it themselves rather than targeting misguided so-called "Muslims".
