Time to disband the Muslim Council of Britain
It may be the time to work to de-recognize and disband the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), a network of organisations -- mostly paper tigers with no representation of the larger Muslim community. Over the years, it has done more harm than good by defending ''Islam as a religion'' rather than working for the betterment of British Muslims. Similarly, those organisations who are working to improve the daily lives of British Muslims should now leave the MCB.
The government too is coming to its senses, as reports Dominic Casciani:
''[W]hile the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) remains the largest umbrella group, government is taking a keen interest in other small but growing organisations, such as the Midlands- and north-based British Muslim Forum.''
