The web group has more than 2,800 members and this follows a march by the Welsh Defence League designed to stir up...

'Muslim police club nets £10,000 public cash', Express reports'Muslim police club nets £10,000 public cash', Express reports An exclusive association for Muslim police officers, backed with £10,000 from the SNP Government, was extended across Scotland’s eight police forces yesterday. Despite having only 46 members, with just another 90 Muslims among more than 17,000 officers in the country, the association could get more taxpayers' cash. Black and ethnic minority officers already have their own organisation, Semper Scotland, which has around 130 members – many of them Muslims – and receives £51,000 a year from the taxpayer. But the Scottish Police Muslim Association (SPMA), launched at the police training college...

'Britain must end the appeasement of Islamist terrorists: the Human Rights Act should be scrapped ''Britain must end the appeasement of Islamist terrorists: the Human Rights Act should be scrapped ' Nile Gardiner denounces the ruling by the Special Immigration and Appeals Commission that two terror suspects could not be deported to Pakistan on the grounds they might be tortured there. His colleague Douglas Murray goes with "Why do al-Qaeda's rights trump those of the British people?" Neither Gardiner nor Murray bothers to mention that the two individuals have not been convicted of any offence – or indeed allowed to hear, still less to challenge, the evidence against them.

Following on from the paper's full-page splash on the "hijab gates" myth, it now gives space to Andrew Gilligan at Comment is Free to continue his witch-hunt of the Islamic Forum Europe.

Ask your MP to sign EDM 1079Ask your MP to sign EDM 1079 Please ask your MP to sign Early Day Motion 1079 – Muslims in Britain. You can do this easily by clicking on this link. It takes less than two minutes. The motion follows rising concerns about negative portrayal of Muslims in sections of the media and anti-Muslim demonstrations by extreme right wing groups such as the English Defence League, which recently marched on Parliament demanding the closure of the East London Mosque.

We believe the targeting of communities in this way is creating a climate of fear and division, and undermines civil liberties and the right to freedom of...
