The Europe minister, Denis MacShane, was at the centre of a political
maelstrom today after urging UK Muslims to follow the "British way" of
political dialogue and reject Islamist terrorism.
Speaking in his Rotherham constituency 24 hours after the Istanbul
bombings, Mr MacShane likened terrorists to Nazis and urged imams and
other Muslim leaders to use "clearer, stronger language" to speak out
against them.
But his remarks provoked an immediate backlash across a wide spectrum
of UK Muslim opinion, being branded both "outrageous" and
"disgraceful".
