Muslims in Britain Report

A report by Cambridge University which appears to have been largely ignored by the mainstream Murdoch cabal has suggested a number of interesting recommendations.

London Muslim is first to admit that anything by academics that starts off by mentioning philosophy and theology tends to be a major turn off for me. However, if I'm interpreting the Cambridge academics accurately their report seems to be saying the terms "Shariah" and "Jihad" are misinterpreted in the UK. No shit Sherlock, pretty sure Muslims in the UK could have come up with that for free rather than engaging in a nine month research project.

However, I'm perhaps being churlish as I've not had my lunch yet and should welcome what Shahid Malik calls " a groundbreaking report" as an important contributor to the debate about Muslim stereotypes in the UK.
