Lady Warsi - If There's A Terror Attack In Britain It's The Governments Fault.

Because they foster a feeling of mistrust and unease through a lack of engagement with the Muslim community. The woman is unbelievable and seems to have put the egg before the chicken.

Fantastic. Thank you NJ. That is far more worthy of being published than Warse wipes's tripe.

I'm still trying to figure out why she has become a 'Lady'.

[New Judge]

Because in 2007 the Tories, then in oppsition, appointed her "shadow minister for Social Cohesion" (whatever that might be). As she was not an MP (she had failed to be elected when she stood as Conservative candidate for Dewsbury in Yorkshire) she had to be appointed as a Life Peer in order to take up the post. She took the title of "Baroness Warsi of Dewsbury" thus demonstrating the iniquity of appointing someone to the Lords in order to take up a Ministerial post (the good people of Dewsbury declined to have her as their MP so they got her as their Lord).

I must say that her latest musings, the subject of this question, would be the last thing I would suggest to promote "social cohesion".

^ why did they go to so much trouble ??

The first thing that I thought was female, ethnic appearance and being Muslim but surely that's not the case, is it?

[BlackadderV]

Of course not Orderlimit. Perish the thought. Good job she's a Mohammedan otherwise she might be your local bishop now.

[Orderlimit]

haha Blackadder- perish the thought indeed

Lady Warsi is not above suspicion when it comes to some values (Islamic and other). But I have little interest in the inconsequential matter of her personal life or her motives in making the quoted statement. In fact I haven't bothered to read it. May I invite serious (i.e. non-Warsi) answers to the central question: what are the causes of Islamic extremism, and how do we combat it?

[vetuste_ennemi]

...which, I hope, is what the OP was rinviting us to talk about.

[BlackadderV]

You ask two questions:

1 what are the causes of Islamic extremism?

ans, Mohammed

2. , and how do we combat it?

ans. Christ only knows.
