Brit mosques 'worse than Iraq'
Of course UK muslims are saying this is completely untrue! but then what do we honestly expect, They have achieved untouchability in the UK.
THE Deputy Prime Minister of Iraq has claimed mosques in Blackburn are more extreme than in his own country.
Dr Barham Salih’s comments have sparked outrage among British Muslim leaders.
Shadow culture minister Tobias Ellwood revealed the comments Dr Salih had made to him at a dinner party in Baghdad.
The Tory MP claimed the Iraqi said: “I am not surprised that you British are facing so many problems with extremists after what I saw in those mosques in Blackburn.
"What I saw would not be allowed here in Iraq - it would be illegal.”
Mr Ellwood made the claims in the House of Commons during debate about terrorism.
He said: “My eyebrows raise when you have a very senior Iraqi leader make comments like that.
“I do not believe these comments can be dismissed out of hand. I was absolutely shocked. He went inside the mosques, and said literature he saw would be illegal. He was quite clear.
“The comments are only directed at a very small proportion of mosques in the UK - the vast majority of Muslims wouldn’t want to be labelled.”
Dr Salih visited Blackburn, Lancs., as a guest of the town’s MP Jack Straw in 2005.
Salim Mulla, chairman of the Lancashire Council of Mosques, said Dr Salih was positive about what he had seen in the town when they spoke during his visit.
He said: “We are going out of our way to bring the community together. Nobody is working harder than us at breaking down barriers.
“For Dr Salih to make these sort of comments is not very helpful at all.
“I don’t know where he’s coming from. He was very co-operative when he visited, and took lots of photographs.
“How many incidents have we had in Blackburn? He is talking a load of rubbish.”
