Such a bad look, religion is incompatible with modern life, some far more than others, depending where you are.

“A former government advisor has accused the Home Office of attempting to silence him after he warned about the threat of Islamism.
Fiyaz Mughal, the founder of Tell Mama, a project that records anti-Muslim incidents in the UK, raised concerns publicly last year that ministers were failing to take seriously the threat of Islamic extremism.
He said it was “astonishing” that during a Home Office summit on extremism, the threat of Islamism was not mentioned for the first 90 minutes.”
I agree, it’s astonishing. Not all muslims are terrorists but the majority of terrorists attacks, globally, are caused by people who subscribe to Islamic ideologies.
When the founder of Tell Mama is sending a warning signal that we need to pay more attention to this threat, we should listen. When the United Arab Emirates stopped funding their citizens to study in the UK because of fears of Islamic radicalisation, we should take this on board as a problem not being adequately addressed.

2/3 of Abrahamic religions are problematic, the other 1/3 people want to accept it as a victim and introduce it more to the country. Ignoring the fact that we are not a religious country and have battles for peoples right to love who they want and believe what they want without hurting anyone in that belief.

Islamism is incompatible with European/British values. Look at other religions like the Sikhs or Buddhists, they cause 0 problems in our soceity, integrate and contribute positively.

> Mr Mughal was working as a contractor for the Home Office’s Channel programme, which is part of the Government’s counter-extremism strategy.
> In an article for The Telegraph published last year, he said…
> The day after the article’s publication, he was contacted by a senior Home Office official who wanted to discuss his engagement with the media as well as the possibility of future government work.
So… guy contracted by the Home Office to do some stuff, attends a conference run by the Home Office as part of this, and then writes an article for the Telegraph complaining about it. The Home Office then gets in touch with him to discuss his ‘engagement with the media’ – i.e. him complaining about a Home Office conference in a newspaper openly hostile to the Home Office. Or maybe about why he didn’t raise these concerns with them first. We don’t know, because he is vague about what they wanted.
Let’s see how he was ‘silenced’:
> Since then, he has been invited to take part in multiple government projects, taskforces and working groups on tackling extremism.
So, he wasn’t silenced.
And now he’s got another article in the Telegraph.
