Why should they anyway? We've got plenty if muslim foundations, churches and colleges, here.
Hopefully the Pak authorities can do a bit of housekeeping at home. Some allies, if they don't.
I just want to ask: how do you think it can be supervised what who (British citizen or any other) learns/is taught outside his/her native country?
By traffic restrictions (like USA > Cuba, GDR > Federal Republic of Germany)?
What about pilgrimages to foreign countries? Only allowed when program is checked before and result papers afterwards?
I'm saying: young males are going abroad (without their families?) to "religious" instruction. It's pretty clear their families have no real handle on what is being taught there. Mainstream muslin opinion in this country is against violence (and will be more so, now they see what has happened to the community and the families in Leeds)
Those who have been, should be interviewed and debriefed by authorites competent to do so. Those who want to go, should justify this. The places they are going should be checked. The people who are teaching them should be vetted. If they are preaching jihad, suicide and violence, they should be confronted. If they will not stop, they should be stopped.
Otherwise, we will have to employ Plan B and bomb Leeds, Coventry and Birmingham.
One thing's for sure, "we are where we are", and we need a solution, quickly. Part of the solution is to get ALL the people onside, and isolate the troublemakers.
