Congratulations to Paul Goodman MP, Shadow Communities Minister on finally getting an answer to where the £45 million in the government's Preventing Violent Extremism Pathfinder fund is being spent.
Amazingly, recipients include several groups with strong Islamist links, including the Islamic Foundation, the largest overtly Islamist organisation in the UK. The Islamic Foundation draws it ideological inspiration from Mawdudi - the leading radical Islamist writer in the Indian sub continent in the last century, who described democracy as being wholly incompatible with Islam...
Once again, this Labour government are opposing Islamists who use violent means to acheive their ends - but actively appeasing (and even funding!) 'peaceful' Islamist groups who want to acheive the same long term aims. Both groups aim at achieving an Islamic state in Britian with sharia applying to both Muslim and non Muslim alike. It's just that the 'peaceful' Islamist groups aim to get there by by increasingly aligning UK lawwith sharia - by pushing test cases in the courts and asking the government for special concessions for parts of sharia to be incorporated into UK law.
Actually of course Gordon Brown is already doing that...the government consultation period on introducing sharia compliant (sukkuk) treasury bonds has just ended...
