Britain is like Germany in the 1930`s ?

The government's approach to terrorism is creating an atmosphere of suspicion and unease, the head of the Muslim Council of Britain has said.

Dr Bari's remarks follow recent comments from MI5 chief Jonathan Evans that there are 2,000 people living in Britain who pose a terrorism-related danger, and that youngsters aged 15 are being groomed to be suicide bombers.
Dr Bari said: "There is a disproportionate amount of discussion surrounding us. "The air is thick with suspicion and unease. It is not good for the Muslim community, it is not good for society. "Every society has to be really careful so that situation does not lead us to a time when people's minds can be poisoned as they were in the 1930s."


He added: "I think it is creating a scare in the community and wider society. It probably helps some people who try to recruit the young to terrorism."
Inayat Bunglawala, the council's assistant general secretary, agreed - telling BBC Radio 4's Today programme there was a danger of the terror threat being magnified "out of all proportion".
"What you had in the 1930s was all sorts of popular fictions were spread about the Jewish community that they were responsible for all ills that were occurring to Germany. "They were made into folk-devils, and I think there is a danger that the word Muslim in the UK is becoming synonymous with bad news.

I would say the Muslim community in this country brings a lot of suspicion and mistrust on itself , large sections although not directly supporting do sympathise to varying degrees with the terrorists aims/views.Their true loyalty is to their faith and fellow Muslims around the world .The extreme intolerance shown to those who criticise their faith is an obvious sign that many Muslims are unwilling to accept our values and freedom of speech .There is little or no attempt to integrate with other communities the perceived association with bad news is in the main entirely of their own making.
