| Letter From the Public: They Want You To Be Scared |

Many Muslims may feel the same way we do but their perceptions will be influenced by the media and we all know what agenda certain elements of the media follow. When I was first leafleted by MPACUK I thought they might be extremists but seeing quotes from Hansard on the leaflet I felt there may be something more to this organisation. Just goes to show how the climate of fear pervades our minds. What do you think about this? If you have any comment to make on this or other topics mentioned, have your say, right here on Britain's Biggest Muslim Website.           Readers have left 2 comments.

On a more strategic level the drip drip effect of the Government and media labelling Muslims as extremists is having its desired effect. The creation of a climate of fear. Why do you think the same old tired report by Anthony Glees gets recycled EVERY September about extremists on campus. It is to scare Muslim students into not joining Muslim Orgs and getting organised. Scare 'em young.
