Young Muslims to get citizenship lessons in bid to combat extremism - Page 2

Osman

Is the problem of 'radicalisation' really that bad here in Britain?

thats not going to tackle extremism though

I think the idea is to help Muslim kids, and hopefully all kids, feel more empowered and knowledgable about their role as citizens. If targeted directly towards Muslim kids it might help to lessen the "outsider" feeling that I'm sure many Muslims do have when they live in the West.

aint citizenship lessons for freshys?

and these so called "muslim representatives" who cares about them, no one has even heard of them, let alone see them, i dont understand how they represent muslims lol

anyway, i think this is a load of rubbish, surely if they are born in the UK, they are already citizens, then why need the citizenship test!

they are spendin money on this crap citizenship thin, when loads of people are gettin stabbed, murderers and peadophiles are runnin lose, how about sort that out and then indulge in summin else psssh, i should be president

Come on, I though this would have been cleared up by now.

Oh you mean that pesky detail that the IRA were using terrorism in an attempt to end British rule and never claimed they represented Christianity?

Thankfully the IRA learned that their methods were doing more harm than good.

Not in Leicester at least. I mean, you still get the word 'paki' thrown around but I myself haven't heard anything worse. Might also be because I don't shout 'kafir' at the top of my lungs whilst walking down the high street.
