Muslim group urges U.K. to deny visa to Modi
2009-03-19
The Council of Indian Muslims (U.K.) has urged the government to refuse a visa to Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi to enter Britain because of his role in the 2002 communal riots in his State.

It said Mr. Modi had reportedly accepted an invitation to address a business event 'India Summit 2009' to be held here in May.

In a letter to Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, Chairman of the Council Munaf Zeena said Mr. Modi's presence posed a "threat to inter-communal relations in the U.K."

Criticising British MPs who had shown support for Mr. Modi in the past, he asked: "How justified will [the] British government's stand be in asking British Muslims to oppose extremism while allowing someone who has been accused of genocide to be welcomed on British soil?"

#2  To refresh memories, the 2002 communal riots began when muslims murdered Hindu religious pilgrims on a train. Most were burned to death, I believe. That the Hindu became enraged, fought back and gave much more than they suffered galls muslims. So screw the Muslim Council.

#1  How justified will [the] British government's stand be in asking British Muslims to oppose extremism while allowing someone who has been accused of genocide to be welcomed on British soil?

So where are these Muslims who oppose extremism?
If they are not talking, I don't think we have to worry about them. Those who talk, love genocide.
