Sir - Many years ago I had a friend whose family had lived on the border between India and Pakistan, the family told me stories of conflict between families and religious groups, about the hate their family experienced because both of my friends parents had become doctors, in fact they were forced to move to England so they could practice.
When I heard about the Trojan horse letter, I thought that it may well have been a knee jerk reaction but know I'm thinking it may have been a good thing. It’s getting more likely that the teaching and practices being taught in schools containing Muslims has to looked at, controlled and regulated, if only to ensure the safety of those in the school. it's possible those teaching, those practices may offend another group.
I’ve recently found a web site which proclaims it’s the intention of some radical Muslim groups to turn this country in to a new Muslim state.
I’m quite happy to see Muslims in England but I often wonder why the Muslim leaders living here do not openly distance themselves from radical groups , why they don’t speak out and condemn those who commit what are barbaric acts against their neighbors in the name of their faith. Is it that the British press is not publishing their case or are they as a community scared of doing so.
My worse fear is, a radical group could enter this citiy's Asian community, there could be in fighting between the groups which could turn to open violence within our community.
