ISIS: Every Muslim should get out of his house, find a crusader, and kill him

[Ben Davis]

I think you'll find that muslims want to restrict your freedoms to a far greater extent.

It's this kind of generalisation that's totally wrong & unhelpful in the UK. Most muslims over here want the freedoms offered by a democratic, secular and open society and don't want to curtail the freedoms of others. There are plenty of stats available to show this. That doesn't mean islam as a whole is off the hook or that the UK is completely 'safe' (as I've said before, there are a vocal minority of radical/extreme/fundamentalist muslims here, too) however the main bodies (British Council of Muslims & Islamic Society of Britain) have come out in opposition to both national and international extremism and take public steps, working with the government, to combat them.

My main concern is that the increasing marginalisation of minority groups, caused by current Conservative austerity politics, could exacerbate the problems.
