    I presume some of you watched this programme last night? And I am sure we will all see it from different points of view. I suspect that for the many of the viewers the dominating image will be of the Muslim guy screaming at the reporter and the message relayed from Sheikh Mohammed Bakri. I can’t believe that those images are helping anyone of us in any way and I wonder why the Muslim community don’t get their act together to prevent these idiots from providing fuel to those who seek to show Islam and Muslims as negative and threatening.

    Re: Panorama - Muslim First, British Second

    do you know who bakri was employed by and who or what he is?
    do you know what world affairs forum is for?

    edit:
    N.B. (reply to the post below this)
    bakri, a qutbi, was HT chief in Saudi Arabia and later in UK then of al muhajiroun. He declared terrorism on UK tube an Islamic act. and he loved and praised another man who contracted for CIA in Afghanistan during soviet occupation and later became a bogeyman (namely osama bin laden) and was so impressed with alleged exploits/achievements of osama that he declared himself a salafi in honor of osama

    i watched it, it wasnt very good.

    in my opinion this was a kite flying operation, to see how the muslims would respond to such a change in policy and then if get a good or neutral response will go ahead and if not then can just blame it on media exageration.

    but overall i think the program was trying to direct and lead govt policy not inform upon it.

    for example, on sheikh khalid yasin, i happen to know him quite well and his views are not contraversial in the slightest amongst the muslim community.

    if you start banning people for being against homosexuality then you will ban every muslim as any muslim who doesnt agree homosexuality is a sin has disagreed with Allah and his messenger (pbuh) and become a kaffir (disbeliever)

    Re: Panorama - Muslim First, British Second

    I watched the programme. I thought that the Muslim guy screaming at the reporter made for good entertainment whilst Bakri's message was rather more worrying. As for Abdur-Raheem Green, his views represent those of mainstream Islam so if he is going to be labelled an extremist, then we all are.

    By the way, most of us now are considered to be extremists by the government, in accordance with their new criteria. A Muslim is now an extremist if:

    • They advocate a caliphate, a pan-Islamic state encompassing many countries.

    • They promote sharia law.

    • They believe in jihad, or armed resistance, anywhere in the world. This would include armed resistance by Palestinians against the Israeli military.

    • They argue that Islam bans homosexuality and that it is a sin against Allah.

    • They fail to condemn the killing of British soldiers in Iraq or Afghanistan.

    I can tick at least the first four points. Of course, Jihad is not synonymous with armed resistance (Thinker, I think you are also aware of this) but I'm honestly fed up with trying to explain it's true meaning. It grows tiresome.

    To be honest, I think it was never a good idea for Muslims to come to this country. The fundamental values of Islam and those of the west are just too different.

    Re: Panorama - Muslim First, British Second

    I don't see this one as an anti-Islam programme. I feel it was more balanced, although it still made some mistakes (e.g. portraying Abdur-Raheem Green as extremist).

    i happen to know many salafis and former members of al muhajiroon, omar bakri changed his aqeedah and manhaj after debates with various salafis, as far as i am aware he has never met obl so this allegation also holds no water like your others.
    So you lied when you disowned the hizb last time!

    today's neo-Nazis have never met Hitler yet he is idolized by them.

    using your logic, since I've never met Last Rasul Allah, sahaba e ikraam, Quid e Azam or Alaama Iqbal, I cant be admiring them or wanting them as my role models

    Re: Panorama - Muslim First, British Second

    I have been a member of this forum for almost three years. During this time I have been informed by Muslim members here that Islam is a peaceful religion. I have had no cause to disbelieve them.

    I do not watch the news on TV, so until I watched 'Panorama - Muslim First, British Second' just now I have never really watched live footage of Muslims participating in aggressive demonstrations and hateful speeches.

    This is a completely different Islam I have observed just now ...

    Right now I am feeling scared and disappointed.

    Do you have any reason to believe that these actions are acceptable in Islam? In fact, I bet that even though you're not a Muslim yourself, you can come up with Islamic evidences condemning their behaviour.

    Please be kind enough to read my post again! I was merely taken my surprise by the different representation of Islam the programme introduced me to, and expressed this as it came into my head.
    At this stage I haven't proven anything to myself ... although your response, doorster, may give me another little morsel of evidence ...

    I realise that I posted my previous post in the emotional moment, just after having watched the Panorama programme.
    Clearly that wasn't a wise or productive thing to do!

    I think it may be time to take some time out ...

    wow! and ouch

    as if all my earlier posts on this and similar subjects and my constant sucking up to most of you via positive rep & PM messages is not enough. it seems to me that nothing short of my condemnation of Islam itself thus effective kufr/conversion/apostasy out of Islam will suffice!

    So did I! First you start by saying 3 years in this forum and being happy of the outcome basically, then suddenly one thing makes you feel scared and dissappointed! Scared? It made me feel baffled and hit my head on the desk. His post was sarcastic, I do like sarcasm, but it was everything I thought just other ways put. Straight to the point and that was the question I had in mind and that is a question you need to think about. Don't let emotions take over facts. But you can't possible have NOT known there DO exist people like that and actions like that. You don't have to see it. I've never seen anyone get beaten up although I know it happens.

    You see it (the bad sides) in your own religious people, in your religion's and its followers history. And you love you religion despite it all. Now apply that thinking in how it is for us.

    Anger and bashing, ain't scary as it may seem. It's just sad and pathetic.
