		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Any neutral observer of the media in this society can state the obvious that Islam and Muslims appear to be the “black sheep” of society. They are constantly being linked to terrorism, exhibiting Islamic values being incompatible with British Values (Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams’ Shari’a Row) Intervention by the Government in Mosques and in State Schools with the new PVE (Preventing Violent Extremism) tool kit being rolled out recently. Glorification of Terrorism Act, specifically legislated to categorise the type of Muslims who speak out against the injustices happening in Iraq and Afghanistan, the list is endless. </p>
<p>There appears to be a concerted, global and at all strata of society policies against undermining Islam as a political, economical, social alternative to Western Liberal Capitalism. Some might call me cynical and a conspiracy addict, but I am not.  I am stating the obvious.  Let’s take the example of the publication of this “Mills &amp; Boons” genre book. </p>
<p>In the current climate for the Muslims, where we are being lambasted with negativity about Islam and the real sensation of the community being palpable by the Government, it becomes of paramount importance for the authority to assess and neutralise the re-emergence of a global Islamic movement. One of the steps would be to isolate the Muslim community in Britain from the Global Ummah (Global Islamic Brotherhood) as this directly impacts their national interests and security. </p>
<p>Two choices are available for the Muslim living in the UK: assimilate with our policies or be labeled as a violence-loving, extremist, both of which are unacceptable. Those that have become “tolerant” and apologetic will accept the book&#8217;s publication as acceptable and they will fit in with the first category. Those that will condemn and speak out against the book will be honed in as extremists, thus isolated and shunned by the rest of the society. </p>
<p>As believers in the Creator, Allah (swt) , we are obliged to speak out against injustice and oppression, especially if it affects us directly. Not only is it satisfactory for us to argue against the publication and highlighting the bankrupt justification of Freedom of Speech, but to also work and discuss towards a strategy of not allowing this insult to re–occur, again and again.
