The interview that the head of the Muslim Council of Britain has given to The Daily Telegraph today is phenomenally unhelpful to the cause of community cohesion. Muhammad Abdul Bari throwing around analogies to Germany in the 1930s is only going to polarise the debate.

How else do people improve? Where you find a LOW level of creative output (most Muslim countries) you also find a refusal to acknowledge any fault or blame with themselves - everything is always the other guy's fault, so no need to improve oneself.
