 <description>Why is it nothing is the Muslim Communities fault ? 

Explain to us all what sort of twisted and perverted morality the young Muslims had when they murdered in cold blood over 50 people in London on July 7th ? They were just murdering scum, plain and simple. There is no excuse WHATSOEVER for what happened, and that message needs to go out loud and clear. You will also find that what they did was expressly forbidden in the Koran. Go and read it. 

Kindly explain what useful purpose is served by you advocating &#039;cultural apartheid&#039;? What is needed is not more segregation, as you advocate, but far more integration and acceptance and respect for the indigenous culture and the laws and customs of this land. One is given to wonder if you feel you have no need to integrate with the host society and culture what point there is in your remaining within this realm ?  

This multicultural claptrap that you spout is the root of most of the current problems and difficulties. You are first and foremost British Subjects who just happen to be Muslims, just as I happen to be a Christian. This is not, and pray God never becomes, a Muslim state; rather it is a catholic state with catholic laws, traditions and a catholic Sovereign. As a Muslim you have freedom and are accorded all the rights and liberties as is any other subject no matter what his/her race, creed or colour. As a Christian I am not accorded so many rights in many Muslim countries where I am discriminated against and my faith is persecuted by Muslim intolerance and hate. Isn&#039;t &#039;hate&#039; what drove those young Muslim men to commit mass murder ? Hate, hate, hate seems a strong driving force in contemporary Islam. So what you going to do about it and what are you doing about it ???</description>

British Pakistani Youths
Professor Yunus Samad of Bradford University delivered a lecture at Pakistan High Commission on the issues of the Pakistani youth. He criticised the Muslim community, Muslim parents, Masajid and Imams for all the problems of the Muslim youths.

In my view British education system and native teachers are responsible, who have no respect for Islamic values, languages and Muslim community. British education is the home of institutional racism. The schools and the teaching profession never tried to meet the needs and demands of Pakistani or Muslim children. They need a different approach in education. The native teachers do not have a clue of their mother tongues and values. There is a negative co-relation between school and home. The children come to schools with different values which have no place in English schools. They are victim of bullying through out their school life. The result is that they suffer from Identity Crises, making them mis-fit not only for the Muslim community but also for the host society. Majority of them leave schools with low grades or without any qualification. They suffer from mental, emotional and personality problems due to the fact that they have been mis-educated and de-educated by a system which does not understand them. In my view British education is responsible for all the problems of Pakistani youths, and not the parents, Masajid or Imams.
