The leader of the Muslim Council of Britain says that if the British don’t stop criticizing Muslims, they’ll have to deal with two million Islamic terrorists.

Britain will face up to two million Islamic terrorists unless there is an end to ‘demonising’ of Muslims, the leader of the most influential Muslim organisation has said.

Treating all Muslims as if they were terrorists will encourage large numbers to become terrorists, Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari said.

The warning from the chief of the Muslim Council of Britain - the grouping that Tony Blair’s Government has considered the leading voice for Muslims - came amid rising tensions over the increasingly suspicious attitude to Muslims in the rest of society.

Dr Bari declared: “Some police officers and sections of the media are demonising Muslims, treating them as if they are all terrorists, and that encourages other people to do the same.

“If that demonisation continues, then Britain will have to deal with two million Muslim terrorists, 700,000 of them in London.

“If you attack a whole community, it becomes despondent and aggressive,” he added.
