No recuerdo muy bien de quien es la cita, pero estoy seguro haber leído en algún sitio que “no sólo somos responsables de nuestros propios actos, sino también de aquello que aceptamos sin discusión” (fué Schopenhauer?).
LONDON: Young British Muslims are more likely than their elders to support Sharia law and admire Al Qaeda, but three-fifths of 16-to24-year-olds say they have as much in common with non-Muslims as with Muslims, according to an opinion poll published on Monday…
…The poll conducted on December 4-13 by Populus for the Policy Exchange, an independent think tank, found that 37 percent of the 16-24 age groups would prefer Sharia law, compared to 17 percent of those over 55. There was a nearly identical split between age groups on those who would prefer to send their children to Islamic schools supported by the state.
Thirteen percent of the younger group expressed admiration for organisations such as Al Qaeda that “are prepared to fight the West,” compared to three percent of those over 55.
Munira Mirza, the lead author of the report, attributed the difference to government policies. “The emergence of a strong Muslim identity in Britain is, in part, a result of multicultural policies implemented since the 1980s which have emphasised difference at the expense of shared national identity and divided people along ethnic, religious and cultural lines,” she wrote.
The poll found that three-fourths of the sample group – 1,003 participants aged 16 and older – disagreed with a local council’s decision to ban advertising for a Christmas carol service, and 64 percent thought another council was wrong to ban pictures of pigs in its office for fear of offending Muslims… Fuente: Daily Times
Me alegra poder citarles aquí mismo las palabras de uno de esos musulmanes sensatos de los que siempre hablo, a los que tanto admiro (son valientes, están en el punto de mira de los fanáticos) y de los que tan poco se habla:
MUSLIMS who don’t like British society should leave, says the head of Bournemouth’s main mosque. Majid Yasin, director of Bournemouth Islamic Centre, believes some people are confusing culture with religion, after a survey revealed growing radicalism among young Muslims.
A national poll found support for Islamic schools, Sharia law and veil wearing in public is much stronger among young Muslims than their parents. But Mr Yasin said: “Many Muslims bring their own traditions here from their home countries. “But if people are living here they should respect this society and this country and not try to create a different society or culture. “Some people use the freedom here in the wrong way. By all means respect your traditions, but not by force. “For example, there is no specific Muslim form of dress, simply that women should be modestly dressed.” Fuente: Daily Echo Dorset
Si el bueno de Majid Yasin no se calla, asumiendo su responsabilidad, por qué he de callarme yo?
Y tu?
