"Four major Muslim groups in Britain have moved to support the government's efforts to tackle Islamic extremism, by setting up the Mosques and Imams National Advisory Board (MINAB). The new body seeks to ensure mosque personnel have a better understanding of British Muslims' needs and address their concerns more effectively. "As a secondary effect, MINAB will also reassure Britons that British Muslims are loyal to the UK principles and do not represent a danger," said Nadeem Kazmi, a senior advisor for one of the four groups, the al-Khoei Foundation."
