Findings which was done by one UK’s top expert on
radicalisation have shown that Britain’s “Muslim ghettos” are to blame for
Islamic extremism within the UK.
The investigation which was made by Maajid Nawaz, the
founding chairman of Quilliam, a counter-extremism think tank, criticised calls
young Muslims were being radicalised online in their bedrooms as a “myth” and
was “side-stepping the problem”.
According to the finding, it was claimed that “lack of
integration” within communities was makes it “easier” for terrorist
organisations to recruit young Muslims.
Saying that about a
tenth of all UK’s Islamic terrorists emanates from only five council wards
located in Birmingham.
The 1,000-page analysis, obtained by The Sunday Times, displayed
isolated Muslim neighbourhoods were further likely to have a greater number of
terror-related convictions.
The also shows that offences became doubled in the last five
years, with the number of those convicted but hitherto unknown to the
authorities rising sharply.
Featuring on his Sunday radio show, the host resounded the
contents of the report, as he claimed a “vast majority of terrorists are linked
to networks within our communities”.
“This failure to integrate means the community itself
suffers,” he said.
“Those areas where there is a concentrated Muslim ghetto
that isn’t mixing with the rest of the country, those insulated communities end
up producing people that do not understand the values of our country.
“And it is, therefore, easier to recruit them to terrorist
organisations.”
The 38-year-old also used the moment to call on Muslim
communities to “take responsibility” for integrating better within British
society.
He went further saying: “To claim terrorists are radicalised
in bedrooms sides steps that problem of community responsibility. This lone
wolf myth needs to be debunked.
“The overwhelming number of terrorists are linked to
networks which exist within our communities.”
