Hi ! I found this on a french newspapers. This is an automatic Google translation, it's about a town in England Luton: "Seven men advancing side by side, occupying the entire sidewalk. It is freezing cold but they will not sit down inside a cafe. They have little time, leaflets advocating the application of Sharia to distribute and to see their visitor shivering amuses them. They refuse to state their profession, to say how they earn their living. "It was a very important job," they say simply giving out leaflets entitled "Introduction to Islam, seven chapters," Islam and Muslims "to" Your choice ". The discussion begins on Leagrave Road, a straight street lined with shops that sell halal meat especially, fabrics of all colors, records and books of prayers. The women are all veiled, many dressed in full niqab. Men wear traditional dress and long beards. The stalls are full of fruit and bags of rice from 20 kg in this street peaceful and alive, like those of Cairo or Karachi. "When I was a child, non-Muslims were more numerous here," recalled one of the proponents of Shariah, Saiful Islam, 31. "Where have they gone?" it asks you. "They have gone elsewhere. They have failed to integrate ..." His word is good friends with her smile Ibrahim Andersen, red, blue-eyed former skinhead converted three years ago. Taymour Abdul Wahab, the suicide bomber who blew himself up Saturday in Stockholm, studied at the University of Luton in 2004 where he obtained a degree in sports medicine. He lived there a few weeks ago in the district of Leagrave Road, as the alleged mastermind of an attack (failed) against a shopping mall and a nightclub English in 2004. Or two men serving life sentences and 26 years in prison for their involvement in the conspiracy against the city of Glasgow and Heathrow Airport in 2007. Military insulted on their return from Iraq It also Luton (220,000 inhabitants) that members of the commando who struck London on 7 July 2005 (56 dead, 700 wounded) reached the capital city, 35 minutes by train south. It's still in this old mill town, seat of Vauxhall motors whose 30,000 workers have almost all been dismissed in 2002 that soldiers who marched in their return from Iraq have been treated as "child killers" and "Assassins" last year. In retaliation, the right-wing activists have created Français Defence League (EDL), small group and openly racist anti-Islamic. Having planned to march through the streets of Luton in February, the EDL has finally abandoned the idea of inviting the American pastor Jones, who wanted to burn the Koran on September 11 before giving it up. About kamikaze Stockholm, Saiful Islam believes that his action is "shocking but not surprising. It's the foreign policy of the United Kingdom, Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan that could lead people to become extremists. Until United States and Great Britain occupy these countries, the attacks will continue. It is unfortunate but inevitable. Muslims feel that the West is at war against them. Here, when one wears a long beard, you get to deal with the Taliban. " Saiful Islam denies being a radical. Yet he wishes the application of sharia, Islamic law, for all the inhabitants of Great Britain and elsewhere. "We do not require you to become a believer, we will not require you to become Muslim but we believe that Sharia is the solution to the ills that plague our societies." Brochures cons "the myth of terrorist martyrdom" Last month, a BBC survey showed that 5,000 British students of Koranic schools have received lessons on how to amputate the hands and feet of thieves, what is the best method of execution to punish a man convicted of Homosexuality ... A manual for school children 6 years explained to them that those who do not believe in Islam are doomed to the "fire of hell" after death. Secretary of the Bury Park Mosque, also known as "Luton Islamic Centre, Farasat Latif runs a language school, for students of Pakistan or the Gulf. Nothing like home, "he assures. In 2007, he drove out of the mosque bomber missed Stockholm. "He tried to preach extremist ideas. He said that Muslims who did not call for jihad were sold. We asked him to stop, he refused. So we have denounced in public, without mention his name but so that everyone knows who we were talking about. After that, he never returned. " Why not have accused the police? "I could not pick up the phone and say, 'There's a gentleman here who think the government of Saudi Arabia is an apostate." They would have told me that I made them waste their time. " The unanimous opinion, Farasat Latif is a moderate. His school writes and distributes pamphlets denouncing "the myth of terrorist martyrdom," saying that the bomber is promised not to heaven but to hell. If he complains about the situation of Muslims in Luton, which worsen every year since September 11, 2001 ("We are insulted, threatened, sometimes beaten), Latif believes that" 99% of people in this town are not racist . It is the 1% that poses enormous problems. " "City of sh1t" But alongside these soothing words, Latif advocates more radical ideas, starting with the application of Sharia. "Of course women should be educated, but their location is first at home, caring for children. You say that Sharia oppresses women? Me, here in England, I see teenage oppressed by men who are becoming pregnant at 14. I see women oppressed by the cosmetics industry and the ready-to-wear. " He also denounces the "international Jewish lobby," State of Israel as "fascist," believes that "before the war, Afghanistan was one of the safest countries in the world." And argues that "George W. Bush and Tony Blair were the largest recruiters of Al Qaeda, far more than bin Laden." This mini Berlin Wall, a pedestrian bridge between Leagrave Road in the rest of the city. On the one hand, the Muslim Quarter and its 35,000 inhabitants. On the other, the Asian district, with several thousands of people from India and Sri Lanka in the 60 and 70 to work at the plant, the "English sector," perched on the heights; center city where all gather for shopping. In "Duke of Clarence" pub postcard, only English-born play billiards, beer down on beer and cursing the "city of sh1t when there's nothing more than work, more football club worthy of the name, nothing but unemployment and social problems. " Français The Defence League is attracting more and more unemployed youth. "They pose as the last defenders of Christianity, is upset that an elected official requires anonymity for fear of reprisals. They use the news to try to provoke a war between Christians and Muslims. They may be that 50 activists but their reputation is growing throughout the region. As a result, the vast majority of people in this city is stuck between two extremes: on one side Islamist, fascist on the other. " "We must never give up" Residents are fighting against what appears to some as inevitable. Educator Center for Youth and Community Development, Halim working with youth for three years. "My role is to tell them: 'If you're British or if you live in England, you must respect the laws of this country." My role is also to show them that if they are unhappy, they want to protest against the war in Afghanistan, they can write their alderman, their MP or the Minister of Foreign Affairs. I also tell them that, according the Qur'an, it is forbidden to kill and kill other people, and if they have problems, they must use legal means. " Difficult but not a lost cause: "We must never give up." A city cut in four. Massive immigration during the 60s and 70s, she has a point in two people of foreign origin. Religious tensions, an economy badly affected, the main cause of all evils: Luton is a town that is suffering. "Once a year, we see the media back and always for the wrong reason," laments Peter Adams, who works at bringing people from different ethnic and religious communities through sport, music, activities in schools or hospitals. "The only thing that we refuse to do is to pray together," he smiles. "Sometimes, in schools, we hear children say terrible things about Muslims. The British-born who read the tabloids do not come to the center. Our situation is really difficult." Before the altar of the church of St. Mary, where he receives, Peter Adams makes a prayer: "That this city, seen by many as a breeding ground of terrorism, will become a place of peace." But he really believes? |

A lot of that is bollocks about certain quarters and what not. It's basically Bury Park which is almost all Muslim and then the rest of town which is pretty mixed and the different races more or less get on fine. |
