 |
|
Muslim women are to be invited on Government-funded assertiveness training courses in a bid to counter Islamist radicalism.
Communities and Local Government Secretary Hazel Blears is to publish a document arguing that women have the potential to become a voice for moderation in Muslim communities and steer young people away from the clutches of extremist recruiters.
She will tell local authorities to use part of a £70 million Government fund, set up to counter extremism, to pay for courses in confidence building, communication and mediation skills for Muslim women.
Women are expected to be offered work placements with business leaders and successful athletes, while funding will be made available to set up Muslim women's groups to provide a safe space for discussion.
Professional motivational firms may run role-play courses to teach Muslim mothers how to speak out if they fear their children are being seduced by extremists and to challenge those peddling jihadist ideas.
A Whitehall source said: "Muslim women can have a unique moral authority at the heart of families as sisters, mothers and friends and must be supported to play a greater role in tackling extremist ideology."
But the assistant secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain, Inayat Bunglawala, said: "The Government at first wanted our imams to act as spies on young British Muslims and now they seem to want Muslim women to do the same."

WELL HAZEL BLEARS CAN F*&^ OFF! WHAT A OBSCENE WASTE OF MONEY!
...However, on the other hand, if my mother had received this sort of training, I might not now have the recurring obsessive compulsion to strap a detonator to myself under me woolly jumper and set it off on the No.35 (well, it never arrives on time...)
My poor mum, she singularly failed in her patriotic duty to wallop the inner terrorist out of me...

They don't even need muslims to blame nowadays 
| Quote: | Fox hypes terror of 'White Al Qaeda Army'
The hosts of Fox & Friends are all worked up over a claim in the British press that al Qaeda may be recruiting Caucasian members to infiltrate Western societies.
"Have you heard about this new thing going on in Great Britain," asked host Gretchen Carlson, "[where] Al Qaeda [is] rooting up all these Britons, essentially, 1400 strong, apparently, in a new, what's being called a new 'White al Qaeda Army.' Tougher to detect, potentially ..."
"Yeah, because they're not Muslims," co-host Steve Doocy commented. "They look just like regular British people."
"This is what we've always talked about," Carlson went on, "That if you have people in one country transplanting to another religion and they maybe aren't exactly what you think they are, that can be more difficult to fight.
"Yeah. They're converting them in prison, to, uh..." "To kill us!" "Yeah, great," said co-hosts Brian Kilmeade and Steve Doocy in turn.
Brian Kilmeade then brought on Mike Baker, a former CIA agent and professional counter-terrorism expert. "Mike Baker's here -- this word that al Qaeda's building up a white terror army of up to 1500 operatives in the UK:" said Kilmeade. "How soon could they strike us here, and would they be trying to do something similar using convicted criminals?"
Baker told Kilmeade that al Qaeda looks for operatives who can fit in, just as the CIA does, saying, "If they can recruit a Scandinavian, that's the holy grail for them." He added, "They need people who can move around freely and do their bidding," apparently implying that blue-eyed blondes are the people who blend most seamlessly into Western society.
However, Baker dismissed Kilmeade's suggestion that al Qaeda would be particularly interested in recruiting in US prisons. "To go into a prison and try to recruit individuals -- that person's already tainted. What they really need, they need people who haven't run afoul of law enforcement in the past. ... Their problems are extreme in trying to recruit someone who can go out there and carry out their business."
Baker also commented on the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, saying, "You're not going to sway the conspiracy theorists, and there are a lot of them, who exist on the anti-Musharraf side. ... They just will not be convinced that the government was not involved in this."
