re: #301 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut
And I would guess that bits like “We reiterate the British Muslim community’s unequivocal denunciation and condemnation of the Nazi holocaust against Jewish and other non German communities before and during the Second World War” stem from what tiny success the British government’s strategy of coopting the MCB with funding, recognition and the power of constant consultation has had, that and the fact that they’d blown it often enough to be losing that favor.
