LONDON(Mirza Khan Raja)MIRZA Khalid Mahmood MP, Chair of All Parties Parliamentary Group invited people to discuss '' the role of the government's new Joint Terrorism Task Force'. Khalid Mahmood started off the discussion talking about lozells in his constituency and expected government to keep an eye on the situation how and what is taught and whether the one who teaches is qualified to do so. He was not advocating censorship and was aware of human rights, no infringement of basic human rights can be tolerated by British society. He expressed his opinion that Western Powers were biased against Islam, they acted in unison and helped to establish East Timor and South Sudan as Independent states but procrastinate badly in case of festering Palestine and Kashmir. Though this in no way justifies extremism and terrorism. Rt Hon Hazel Blears MP, Rt Hon Julian Lewis MP,and Dr Yousaf all spoke briefly about the subject and highlighted Media's bias. Hazel Blears spoke elaborately and brought into her talk, when 7/7 happened and she was secretary of state in Tony Blair's government. They all said that Islam was and is a religion peace and it was wrong to blame the great religion of Islam for anything the nuts will do. But there was and is a need to protect 'emotionally vulnerable' who can be lured in their fold by the extremists among us. Dialogue and inclusion these elements was necessary. Islam and Pakistan became focus in discussion. There were questions from audience and comprehensive discussion took place, Rt Hon Mirza Khalid Mahmood declared the debate closed.
