'UK will become Nazi Germany' if it's not careful when tackling terrorism, says Muslim leader

The UK must be careful how it tackles terrorism and treats Islamic culture if it is to avoid recreating a society reminiscent of Nazi Germany, the head of the Muslim Council of Britain has warned.

Muhammad Abdul Bari, in an interview with the Daily Telegraph, criticised the Government for fuelling tensions in the Muslim community rather than dissipating them.

He told the paper: "There is a disproportionate amount of discussion surrounding us. The air is thick with suspicion and unease. It is not good for the Muslim community, it is not good for society."

The Muslim leader added: "Every society has to be really careful so that situation does not lead us to a time when people's minds can be poisoned as they were in the 1930s.

"If your community is perceived in a very negative manner and poll after poll says that we are alienated then Muslims begin to feel very vulnerable.

"We are seen as creating problems, not as bringing anything, and that is not good for society."

The Government's foreign policy and particularly the Iraq war, which he described as a "disaster", had been used by criminals as a weapon to encourage young people into extremism, he said.
