http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/World/UK_monitoring_30_terror_plots/articleshow/2949643.cms With terror networks and active terror plots galore in Britain, the Interior Ministry has accurately assessed the threat to UK. Its proposed proactive scheme to deal with the menace effectively and strengthen legal tools for law and order machinery is overdue already. Home secretary Jacqui Smith could not have been more correct when she pointed out the futility of waiting for another 7/7 before rushing to initiate appropriate measures to deal with elements opposed to peace and harmony in the country.
However, all the good intentions of the Interior Ministry will be negated if they bring in ‘moderate Islamic clerics’ from Pakistan to assist British imams in combating extremism in their communities. The UK might as well import good terrorists to reform the bad ones. There are no ‘moderate clerics’ in Pakistan. The Home Secretary would do well to pull out a BBC documentary from its archives titled ‘The Islamic Blowback’ dealing with the role of Pakistan in growth of Islamic extremism in Asia before heading to Pakistan to look for ‘moderate Muslim clerics’.
