I am delighted to be able to send my best wishes to everyone at this year’s Muslim News Awards for Excellence.”
Opposition Leader, Rt Hon Jeremy Corbyn MP, said: “This awards ceremony is an important opportunity to recognise the huge contribution that Muslims across Britain make to our country every day, showcasing the talent and excellence of individuals in their fields of expertise.

Why do they need special separate awards?
Hardly conducive to inclusivity

The issue is that those you mention are not at odds with the rest of us |

IRA...they weren’t Muslims No, they were born because of an enforced separation on their people. Notably now virtually extinct because of integration |

As for the IRA, knee capping s and thuggery still happening. If you believe that then go and live in somewhere like Bradford for a while or watch any of the documentaries that feature Muslims and you will see how much they love us Any IRA thuggery that is still happening is nothing to do with the "troubles", it is rival criminal gangs |

You are lumping every Muslim into the same boat, as I’ve said before, some, not all, are out to harm us. A few of those live here and make their mark, but there are vast amount of Muslims who promote peace and live here harmlessly. You do know this.
Perhaps we should look at what caused some of the issues in the first place and take some responsibility for toppling regimes and ousting governments.

Perhaps we should look at what caused some of the issues in the first place and take some responsibility for toppling regimes and ousting governments. We could argue this for evermore. There are currently two different fly on the wall documentaries on TV, one about bailiffs collecting debts on behalf of the high court and the other about traffic police in Yorkshire. One episode recently featured bailiffs trying to collect a debt from a Muslim owned garage and the other featured a police chase ending in a cul-de-sac in a mainly Muslim estate The resulting mob of raving threatening young Muslims physically and verbally attacking the bailiffs and police was unbelievable. The language featured would clearly show you what they thought of white people. No intention of integrating |

I’m not in the country to see either of those programmes. However you are right we could argue until we are blue in the face, it’s just such a shame that the way a programme has been edited has coloured your view on an entire group of people. I still say that it’s a tiny minority who want to do harm. Verbally attacking Balilffs and Police in groups happens all the time and isn’t a prerogative of Muslims.
