"Terrorists can be anybody..." ...Mr Naseem is one of the most respected Muslims in the city and is considered a moderate. He has regular meetings with the chief constable to discuss religious harmony.

Yeppers. I think that's what we can ultimately expect from these guys.

Birmingham is one of the cities where they opened a Salafi school in 2002.

How can the Sunni Pakistanis be so concerned about violence against Shi'a Muslims in Iraq since the Salafi Sunnis are carrying out all of the violence?

With over 200 religious leaders being arrested in Pakistan for anti Western ideology, these kind of comments need to be crushed in Western capitals too. Otherwise, we will be the ones being weak on terrorism being taught by religious leaders.

Islamic countries may be better equipped to crush anti Western rhetoric where there is no freedom of speech or other human rights. I think the terrorists will attempt to exploit the openness of the press to gain sympathy for their cause. Ironically, there is no freedom of speech in England that is protected by the government. I wonder if the Brits are equipped to crack down on religious intolerance of their own Muslim clerics.
