A Muslim youth organisation has criticised Sadiq Khan and his Fairness not Favours: How to reconnect with British Muslims pamphlet, the subject of yesterday’s blog.
Mohammed Shafiq, chief executive of the Ramadhan Foundation, said that Khan "should be pushing the government to deal with real issues like poverty, crime, racism and Islamophobia."
Shafiq said:
"We do not have a victim mentality but are victims of this government's failure to deal with real issues, issues around poverty, tackling the underlying causes of why there is terrorism in this country, issues around exclusion of certain communities.
“To suggest we are obsessed with foreign policy, when Muslims are being killed around the world, when over a million people have been killed in Iraq - human life is sacred, that's an obsession I'm proud of and I think any Muslim would be proud of it too.
"It's time for the government and ministers like Mr Khan to really address the real failure of 10 years of missed opportunity."
Shafiq stressed that the Ramadhan Foundation have been vigorous campaigners against honour killings and forced marriage, which in July of this year they called an “immoral and evil act.”
IF there are "millions of Muslims being killed around the world", then it is OTHER MUSLIMS doing most of the Muslim-killing.
Muslims are professionals at blame-laying, finger-pouinting, and dodging responsibility.
And BTW, "islamophobia" is not a real word, it is a PLASTIC word useable only in PLASTIC language which is never used to communicated anything clearly.
