A SENIOR Muslim leader at one of Britain’s largest mosques is threatening to sue David Cameron for libel over his recent criticism of Islamic extremism.
Do not criticize Islam, in any of it's permutations, as that would call up uncomfortable dialogue, and we just cannot have that now, can we?
Mohammad Naseem, chairman of Birmingham Central Mosque, revealed that he was consulting lawyers.
He took exception to a suggestion by the PM that some worshippers at the mosque believed that the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the US were part of a Jewish conspiracy.
He took exception, but there was no denial or charge that the statement was untrue.
Mr Cameron cited the Birmingham mosque, attended up to 20,000 worshippers on holy days, as an example of one place where extremist ideas could be spread.
He said in an interview at the weekend: “You have to confront the extremism itself.
“You have to say to the people in Birmingham Central Mosque, or wherever, who are saying 9/11 is a Jewish conspiracy, that that is not an acceptable attitude to have.
“We don’t tolerate racism in our society, carried out by white people, we shouldn’t tolerate extremism carried out by other people.”

Is that what some of the people inside the Mosque said? That the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001 were a "Jewish Conspiracy"? Did Prime Minister Cameron actually hear them say this?
