UK Muslims Launch Body to Promote Secular Democracy
London (CNSNews.com) - It's time for the "silent majority" of British Muslims to be heard over the noise made by religious extremists, speakers launching a new community organization in Britain said on Thursday.
A small group of radicals had hijacked the image of British Muslims, activists said at the launch of British Muslims for Secular Democracy (BMSD).
Launched at a London press conference, the Quilliam Foundation said its aim was to combat the influence of extreme Islamist ideology.
Mustafa said in a statement it was time to question the capitalist system and liberal western values associated with it.
"Our campaign will show the sublime values of Islam and the ability of the Islamic system to solve modern problems," he said. "The Muslim world is crying out for Islam."
