Muslims need to stop behaving like victims / Independent, 6 Jul 2006

Tariq Ramadan:
"Instead of withdrawing into isolation they must step out of their ghettos. This is an appeal to Western Muslims, but also to our non-Muslim fellow citizens. One year after the London bombings we have good reason to be concerned. The scars left by this atrocity and other terrorist attacks, and the ongoing "war against terror", have combined to portray Islam as a threat to Western societies. Fear, and the emotions that accompany it, has become a part of the public mindset. "
