DAR AL HARB - U.K.: SHARI'AH WANTING MOSLEMS IN ENGLAND ARE THE "MIRROR IMAGE" OF THE BNP (BRITISH NATIONAL PARTY)

Cameron: Radical Islam is mirror image of neo-Nazis
By Joe Murphy, Evening Standard

David Cameron today attacked radical Muslims as "the mirror image" of the neo-Nazi British National Party.

He used a keynote speech on race and integration to signal plans for tough measures against extremists on both sides.

Attacking the BNP for preaching "pure hate", he went on: "And those who seek a Sharia state, or special treatment and a separate law for British Muslims are, in many ways, the mirror image of the BNP.

"They also want to divide people into 'us' and 'them.' And they too seek out grievances to exploit."

The Tory leader spoke out as a disturbing opinion poll found that radical anti-western attitudes have grown in a generation of young Muslims. The survey found that almost four in 10 would like to live under Sharia law and some 13 per cent "admired" terrorists like those in al Qaeda.

Mr Cameron said the Conservative policy review would publish a report on extremism tomorrow and pledged to unveil new measures against them before long.

Multiculturalism, he was due to say, was "manipulated" to separate communities rather than help them live together. Warning of "educational apartheid", in his speech he was set to say that poor schools were also to blame because they condemned some children to poverty and were too ignorant to challenge prejudice and extremism.

"Those who get left behind are prime targets for extremists who offer easy explanations and point the finger of blame at other people," he was due to tell his audience. "Young white men are told, 'The blacks are all criminals.' Young Afro-Caribbean men are told, 'The Asian shopkeepers are ripping you off.' Young Muslim men are told, 'The British want to destroy Islam.'"

Mr Cameron's speech adds: "The best answer to ignorance like this is a good education."

And the Tory leader was calling for a slow-down in immigration, which "puts pressure on housing, on public services, and helps create division, fear and resentment - among British people of all ethnic backgrounds".
