On Tuesday Muslim leaders in Britain announced a national task force to fight extremism. This came after a poll found that 13% of British Mulims regard the July 7 bombers as martyrs. On the same day Tony Blair called for Britain's Muslim community to do more to combat not just the extremists' methods, but their false sense of grievance about the west. He insisted government alone could not root out extremism.
To explore the role Muslim women can play in tackling extremism within their community, Martha Kearney is joined by Baroness Uddin, of the government's task force and Zareen Ahmed, Chief Executive of the British Muslim Forum. |
