Tomorrow Alex Salmond, Scotland's First Minister, will be launching a new group called the Scottish Islamic Foundation. Like so much that he has done throughout his career, Salmond will be encouraging rather than diminishing separatism and division within our society.
For as a Centre for Social Cohesion briefing sent out last night reveals, the new organisation is riddled with connections to the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist organisation with an increasingly high-profile presence in the UK.
The Brotherhood's motto is:
"Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur'an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope."
The chief-executive of the Scottish Islamic Foundation is Osama Saeed who has previously worked for Salmond, and whose record of Islamic sectarianism is recounted in our press release.
I suppose Mr Salmond recognises a fellow-sectarian when he sees one.
What is perhaps most worrying is that in February of this year, the Scottish government appointed Saeed - as the representative of the about-to-launch Scottish Islamic Foundation - onto its 13-member working group looking into whether or not to renew the Trident nuclear weapons system.
Who would ever have thought that decisions over the future of Britain's nuclear capability would fall into hands the hands of men like these?
