British Muslims:

After reading a sample of articles concerning British Muslims, mainly about questions of integration and islamophobia, I come to this conclusion First, Britain used to have a good experience with Muslims a fact that should and need to be revived. Hence, British Muslims should do their best to provide a good model especially for the youngsters and the non-Muslims. Second, the image we have in mind that British Muslims refused to integrate into society and the clash between them and non-Muslims is a false image since more than a survey showed clearly that these are the views of just a minority on both sides, so that we should avoid overgeneralization and mixing the views of ordinary people with that of minorities especially politicians. What we have seen already indicates in more than one occasion the contradiction between the results of the surveys and some claims of specialized people and the media coverage; however, British Muslims should work and cooperate with the thoughtful and influential non-British Muslims as the Mayor of London “Ken Livingstone” and the Archbishop of Canterbury “William Rowan”. Thirdly, Islamophobia is just a kind of racism reinforced by the media coverage since it is the major supplier of information that the majority of people rely upon. And Muslims must face this problem smartly, they should take into account that British Muslims (as well as all Muslims all over the world) suffer from what is more dangerous than Islamophobia and prejudice, it is: “poverty, unemployment and ignorance” the real enemy that do what no enemy whatever his strength can do, so that all forces should cooperate to overcome the true enemy that reinforces racism. At last and not at least, the whole world is suffering from the westerners who lost their humanity together with the Muslims who lost their efficiency. This latter, "Efficiency" is the sole remedy for British Muslims who are just a minimized picture of the Muslims all over the world. Bold text--Ezahra (talk) 18:18, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
