A dubious leap of faith

The Muslim working groups are too trusting of a government that wants
to pass the buck

When the government announced in the aftermath of 7/7 that it was to
conduct a consultation with Muslims to identify the causes of
extremism, many of us heaved a sigh of cynicism.
Apart from seeing it as a diversion from a public inquiry, we were
worried that foreign policy would not feature in the terms of
reference, despite the fact that Downing Street's own advisers and
intelligence services were citing Britain's disastrous invasion of Iraq
as a key factor in growing religious radicalisation.
