The Battle for British Islam

The Battle for British Islam, Panorama - BBC One



This is on tonight. Let's hope they get the balance right:

"As France tries to come to terms with the deaths of the 12
people murdered in the Islamist attack at the office of Charlie Hebdo
magazine in Paris, Panorama investigates the battle for the hearts and
minds of British
Muslims. John Ware hears from Muslims facing an angry backlash for
trying to promote a form of Islam which is in synch with British values.
They believe that the way Islam has been practised here has more in
common with extremist ideologies than some police officers, politicians
or Muslim leaders have been prepared to admit."
