 The Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) - Lord Patel of Blackburn and a Case of Gross Misrepresentation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Lord Patel, who was speaking at a televised press conference chaired by the aid to the British High Commissioner in Bangladesh, also stated that British Muslims were far from being discriminated against and that those held in prison were all guilty of crimes.
Anas Altikriti, speaking on behalf of MAB commented: “Lord Patel does not speak on behalf of British Muslims, and with these comments, he has made sure that he is unlikely to ever do so in the future.
British Muslims have made their stand in regards with the war in Iraq and the anti-terror legislation clear and firm, and that stand is in clear contradiction of the Labour Government whom Lord Patel seems to be campaigning for during his oversees travels.

Adam Hafejee Patel Esquire, having been created Baron Patel of Blackburn, of Langho in the County of Lancashire, for life by Letters Patent dated 14th February 2000--Was, in his robes, introduced between the Lord Taylor of Blackburn and the Baroness Castle of Blackburn.
My Lords, I believe that the documents to which the noble Lord refers are three reports from the Performance and Innovation Unit in the Cabinet Office.
My Lords, I am quite sure that the public's view on farmers is not based on press releases issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food; it is based on far more profound matters.

 Joffe Report
This failure of their Lordships to recognize the existence of euthanasia by omission was especially poignant in the wake of the 1993 Law Lords' judgement in the Anthony Bland case, an event that occurred exactly twelve months prior to the publication of this 1994 Report.
Lord Mackay was sent a copy of my book (in fact, he had two because I sent him one, and Affinity sent him another) – perhaps he did not bother to read it, or perhaps he disagreed with it.
Furthermore, Lord Mackay stated that, ‘The message is the need to recognise that assisted dying and voluntary euthanasia can be regarded as simply alternative ways of legally ending a terminally ill patient's life.’ I know The Guardian newspaper can print gobbledegook, so I am not entirely sure of the accuracy of this strange quotation.
