"Contest 2" and The Life of British Muslims

I think Muslim in Britain will face more pressures and their life will me more tougher as British government finalized their new counterterrorism strategy with code name "Contest 2".  This strategy widen the extremist definition to those who hold views that clash with what the government defines as shared British values.

According to a draft of "Contest 2" British Muslims will be considered as extremist if they :

1.promote syariah
2 say that homosexuality is a sin
3.advocote caliphate
4.believe in concept about jihad
5.support the right of Palestinian to fight against the Israel's occupation of their land
6.failing to condemn the killing of British soldiers in Iraq or Afghanistan

I wonder how can British government make such catagories for extremism. The strategy seems not to counter terrorism but to alienate almost two millions Muslims in the country who repeatedly complained of maltreatment by police for no apparent reason other than being Muslim.




Hope British government will review their new strategy and invite Muslim figures to discuss it before it puts into effect next month or Muslims will again and again become a target of an unfair and unilateral policy made by western countries. However, Britain needs much support from Muslim society to fight against extremism.
