	THE HANDSTAND
		MAB’s formal request to the Times editor that it is allowed the right to full reply, is yet to receive a satisfactory response, and thus this document was seen as essential, lest the likes of Browne think that we, or British Muslims, have anything to hide, to fear or to be ashamed of.
		MAB is proud of the diversity its membership profile displays in terms of origins, cultures, traditions, schools of thought, ages, skills, educations and specialties.
		MAB constantly called for open dialogue to be conducted with all elements of society, whether it be with the various faith communities or otherwise.

	Muslim Association of Britain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) is a Muslim group in the United Kingdom established in 1997.
		MAB states its aim as to "promote and propagate the principles of positive Muslim interaction with all elements of society to reflect, project and convey the message of Islam in its pure and unblemished form".
		MAB condemned the 7 July 2005 London bombings and joined the StWC in holding a vigil for the victims at the Peace Garden in Euston, London on Saturday 9 July 2005 and a further solidarity gathering at Russell Square, close to one of the Underground stations targeted, on Sunday 17 July 2005.

	Briefing on the Muslim Association of Britain
		In fact, the MAB is a political organisation with a very specific political agenda - and, as we shall see, a reactionary one which the labour, anti-war and student movements should be doing everything in their power to oppose.
		In short, the MAB is open about being part of a political current which aims to establish a state run under Islamic law, with decisions made by a religious elite and the population subjected to drastic rules based on the almost 1,300-year-old Qur'an and re-invented traditions from over a thousand years ago.
		Certainly MAB stewards on the anti-war demonstrations have attempted to restrain groups such al-Muhajiroun; certainly its politics are not as extreme as those of eg al-Qaeda.

	Sohaib Saeed: If Qaradawi is an extremist, who is left? \| Guardian daily comment \| Guardian Unlimited
		So when he arrived in Britain on Monday in advance of his long-awaited conferences in London, the barrage of attacks against him in the media was distressing for the British Muslim community.
		One of the reasons for the Muslim Association of Britain to host Mr Qaradawi was to allow the British people, media and policy-makers to put their questions to a real expert on Islam and modernity.
		For all Muslims, Jews are "people of the book", and Mr Qaradawi has emphasised the special relations Muslims have had with Jews down the centuries, notably when the west persecuted and expelled them.

	Evaluating Muslim-Jewish Relations in Britain - Ben Cohen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		There is the image of the Muslim as victim: highly vulnerable, particularly in the aftermath of the 9/11 atrocities, to physical abuse, verbal insults, and the vandalism of mosques and community centers, and disproportionately exposed to poverty and discrimination.
		Finally, there is the image of Muslim as citizen: advancing communal interests and concerns through the established channels of British political life and forging an identity which harmonizes a devotion to Islamic beliefs with a commitment to the country in which 45 percent of the community was born.
		Yet Britain appears to be heading in the other direction; one of the potential problems of the religious discrimination legislation is that, while providing extra protection from crude Islamophobic actions, it may end up as a gateway for further demands which actually encourage greater separation and the strengthening of Islamist positions.

		MAB said that the Muslim world has not forgotten what the West has done to it during the years of colonialism and therefore so long as the wrongs done in the past are not righted, terrorism will continue.
		The way Muslim Association of Britain has tried to shift the blame away from the murderers on to the murdered, is typical of radical Islamists and their fronts.
		Britain is not only supplies young and angry Muslims for Hamas's jihad against the civilized world but it is also a rich source of funds.

		MAB invited him to Britain in July this year to head up the “pro-hijab” conference organised by MAB and hosted by the Greater London Authority.
		A MAB speaker, replying, said that MAB was proud to be associated with the Muslim Brotherhood.
		To taint the British left with MAB’s reactionary politics is to cripple and marginalise it, and to betray socialists and democrats in the mainly-Muslim communities.

		Since the bombings, the media and Muslims have been at pains to explain that most of the country's 2 million Muslims are peaceful.
		But the attacks are turning attention to the increasing numbers of young British Muslims who are rejecting their parents' traditional culture in favor of a radical and expansionist Islam.
		Although so far, there is no evidence that British Muslims were involved in the bombs, there is little doubt that many British Muslims feel that Britain "deserved" the attacks for supporting the US invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.

		The Muslim Association of Britain, the British branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, said that Galloway was a man it could do business with when he told the Independent that "abortion is morally and ethically wrong".
		It had gone as close to supporting Ba'athist fascism as it dared and had formed a working alliance with the Muslim Association of Britain, which, along with the usual misogyny and homophobia of such organisations, also believed that Muslims who decided that there was no God deserved to die for the crime of free thought.
		Their objections aren’t rooted in the fact that the Muslim Brotherhood is made up of a bunch of terrorists, mass murderers, bigots and extremists who want to install a series of laws that would legalize crimes against humanity.
