Storm Track Infiltration: For Muslims, It’s Time to Choose

The free democracies continue to wonder why Muslims are the cause of problems in their countries whether it be violent acts like the suicide bombing attacks in New York, London, and Madrid or the more subtle arm twisting by Islamist who seek a new world order centered on Islam.

And yet, the simple explanation that seems to escape many in the free world – especially its leadership – is right under of their nose. I’m talking about the results of different polls taken over the last year on the opinions of Muslims living in the West. The anger from certain sectors of the Islamic population in Britain over the Iraq war has not dimmed.

Imam Ibrahim Mogra also criticized the Government. He said: "There is a direct relationship between the foreign policy of the Labour government and the 7/7 bombings, of course there is.” "It is this factor that has been pointed to again and again by those within the Muslim community. It was also cited in the videos made by Mohammed Sidique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer. Blair needs to acknowledge this."

Firebrand MP George Galloway, who was also present, joined in the criticism of the Government and said he said he stood by his stated belief that the invasion of Iraq was the main reason why four young British Muslims became terrorists.

This is proof again that Muslim Islamists owe allegiance to the nation of Islam – the ummah – instead of to the country they live in.

Sir Iqbal Sacranie, who recently stepped down as head of the Muslim Council of Britain, described as "unhelpful" recent comments by Tony Blair that the community needed to do more to root out extremism. He added: "In 12 months since this tragedy, what is a real great sadness is that we still do not know or are aware of the full facts of the tragedy - what caused it, how it was caused, and why it was caused.”

I would suggest starting with the question to all Muslims in Britain “Which nation do you owe allegiance to? If you are a true Muslim you are told by your inmans and clerics that you are a citizen of the ummah and that as a citizen of the ummah you are bound by the Shari law which is incompatible with the secular laws of the free world.

No progress can be made in integrating the followers of Islam into the 21st century until that question is answered and use as the touchstone for all discussion about Muslims and the secular world from here on out. Muslims will have to take a stand against those Islamist who seek to segregate them from the free societies they live in. The question is when will they take that stand and refute the words of Imam Ibrahim Mogra, George Galloway and Sir Iqbal Sacranie.

Or maybe the real question is do Muslims really disagree with these spokesmen?
