#1 Given that the Baroness is a 'moderate', I don't see how banning her from appearing at the conference will help the 'moderate' muslims at the conference.

A fair point, lord garth. This was the last thing I posted before my nap, and clearly I should have thought through the organization a bit better. The PM and the Conservatives don't want to confront the radicals in public, because it gives them attention. But their junior partners in the government, the Lib. Dems, believe confrontation is important on this subject, so they will be sending on the Communities minister to make a speech. Labour also will send someone to speak, but one assumes he won't be confrontational.

#3 What a shocker the more extreme speakers are from Pakistan!

There needs to be moderate scholars out there who can confront the extremist with their Islamic Knowledge or is that the problem ie true followers of the Koran espouse violence!

#4 "Moderate Muslim" is it like a "A little bit pregnant"?

#5 The other post today about violent muslim gangs getting off without any prison time puts the laugh to both parties attempts to stand up to extremism.

I suspect that Baroness Warsi could go and everyone in the west thing she won some very good points and then a year later find out that her presence sent jihadi recruitment through the roof. They do seem to have a problem with strong women after all, and an even bigger problem with not taking advantage of weakness when they spot it.

#6 I'll believe in a 'moderate muslim' when they actively take a stand to stop the Ground Zero mosque. Until then, i think they belong in the same category as the Easter Bunny, the Great Pumpkin and the Tooth Fairy.( might even give them proper noun status, complete with upper case letters and everything)
