UK challenging Radical Islamism by promoting Mainstream Islam

UK's four- pronged approach to de-radicalise its Muslim minority holds important lessons for the Indian effort to counter extremism at home.

Recently, I had the opportunity to study aspects of the first strand of the Four P's strategy — preventing the emergence of violent radicalism on the part of the Muslim youth in the UK. The plan addresses disadvantage, mis-perception, and alienation by putting money into a number of projects addressing inequality and discrimination. Targeted schemes have sought to improve the educational and physical infrastructure of the ghettoes, and even more boldly, to directly challenge radical theology by promoting moderate Islam as well as inter-faith dialogue. The approach has been to knit together various ministries, local governments, civil society, community institutions like mosques, gurudwaras and temples to attack the problem. -- Manoj Joshi

Islamic History
An Indecent Attempt to Tarnish the Image of the Companions of the Prophet

Maulana Nadeem-ul-Wajidee's critique of Arif Mohammad Khan's "fallacious" arguments on Yazid's succession and Karbala

 Maulana Nadeem-ul-Wajidee analyzes the fallacious arguments of former union minister Arif Mohammad Khan regarding the occurrence of Karbala, bringing the Sahaba-e-Karam (companions of the Prophet) into disrepute with reference to Yazid's succession. He argues that a respect for all Sahaba-e-Karam is an essential part of Islamic faith. According to the Maulana the Sahaba could do no wrong and all their decisions have to be respected by all Muslims. He says that mr. Arif Mohammad Khan's arguments against the succession of Yazid is just a rehash of Maulana Maududi's comments on the subject.
