£90m campaign attracts just 15 Midland Muslims
Jan 7 2007
ARMY bosses are facing a Muslim recruitment crisis in the Midlands - after signing up just 15 new soldiers in a year.
Top brass had hoped to gain 1,200 new servicemen and women of all faiths from the region by April.
But despite a £90 million national recruitment campaign, just 15 Midland Muslims have joined the British army.
That's despite thousands of pounds being spent on initiatives in Birmingham, which has a 200,000-strong Islamic population.
Desperate recruitment chiefs had organised activity days, offered halal rations and allowed female Muslim soldiers to wear headscarves in a bid to boost numbers.
But with Britain still at war with insurgents in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Army is struggling to sell itself to Islamic youths.
The total number of Muslim troops in the army is only 330 and many community leaders are not surprised by the low figure.
Dr Mohammad Naseem, 82, chairman of Birmingham Central Mosque, said: "People are not being allowed to live how they want to live and that is creating a gap between the Government and many Muslims.
"Many are asking why they should go and fight for a country that does not respect their wishes. There is also a lot of anti-war feeling in the community and that is definitely a factor. Islamic soldiers can only go to war if they believe it is for a just cause."

Read the bolded & italicized excerpts, give yourself a few minutes and think about the implications of that statement...
90 million pounds sterling is not enough to entice moslems to fight for the U.K. but the implicit reason for the lack of volunteers is not the lack of money but the fact that Britain is not islamic enough...Moslems are not volunteering for the British military because they have to live the "British Way" versus the "moslem way" and they don't like it...
The answer to the British governments dilemma?!?
GREATER DHIMMITUDE & SPECIAL RIGHTS FOR MOSLEMS ! ! !
