Denis MacEoin, academic turned novelist and author of several negative ‘research’ reports on British Muslims (one of which was later withdrawn due to its use of confabulated evidence), has published a new study of Sharia courts in Britain in conjunction with the think-tank Civitas. Predicatably, the report has provoked hysteria in the right-wing media. A regularly updated list of blogs/news on this report will be available in the sidebar of The Daily Terror (click on ‘issues’) — bog-standard cheapo html site so it doesn’t have rss, sorry!

Speaking of Ed Husain, I’ve always been mildly confused by the section in his book in which he names the widely available Islam: Beliefs and Teachings by Ghulam Sarwar as a sort of “gateway book” to Jihadism — like going to Bingo with your mother can lead to gambling addiction, or ritalin to a heroine habit — if your Kurt Cobain, that is. Apparently, it was Ed’s condemnation of Sarwar’s text that led Denis MacEoin to put it on his list of hate books allegedly abounding in British mosques. In fact, Islam: Beliefs and Teachings contains only a page on “politics” — not exactly radical jihadi stuff, it has to be said, which I read, disagreed with and subsequently ignored. I suppose, unlike Ed, I have a mind of my own.
