Meanwhile though, within the Muslim community there's an even higher level of intolerance at Jews & Israel. While many will say they are accepting of Jews & it's just about Israeli politics, in reality they have swallowed the classic falsehoods about Jews used for centuries, & all sorts of false claims about Israel. So the cleanups need to go in many directions. Yes, it’s gotten dangerous & passed from only oddballs believe it – to being believed by mainstream.

The extremist hijack the whole notion of peaceful and tolerant Islam which is why the public gets mixed messages. Hence it is important to note that Islam has no link to terrorism what so ever as discussed in the historic Fatwa on Terrorism. Islam is a peaceful and tolerant faith and I agree there is a real need to educate the public and to promote the truth about Islam. My organisation Minhaj-ul-Quran UK has always been working to promote British values of integration, democracy, interfaith harmony and tolerance for many years. We have been at the forefront of the fight against extremism in this country. The founder of Minhaj-ul-Quran International, Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri has recently said that "The hollow notion of ‘Clash of Civilization’ needs to be replaced with ‘Dialogue among Civilizations’. The enhanced engagement among different religions especially Islam and Christianity would serve to build bridges and raze down walls that separate us. Islam stands for peace, harmony and human development." I agree with Lady Warsi that Islam is misunderstood.
