'War in Europe is a civil war'

 

Britain’s Children’s Newspaper – subtitled, ‘The Story of the World Today for the Men and Women of Tomorrow’ – was a remarkable and mature publication for youngsters.

This is a war, but not against Islam

The horrific attacks against innocent people in Paris have shocked and appalled the world. The Islamic extremist terrorist group, ISIS, has admitted ‘responsibility’, and now some are calling for an all-out attack on Islam and all Muslims. That, in my view, would be a terrible mistake.

It’s mostly Muslims who are the victims of ISIS; it’s mostly Muslims who are fighting ISIS; most Muslims in Britain and the rest of the world are strongly against ISIS and similar terrorist groups; the vast majority of Muslims are loyal and upstanding citizens.
