MIRROR: The excellent Channel 4's Dispatches last night infiltrated the "sister's circle" at Regent's Park Mosque.
It all sounds perfectly innocent, a group of Muslim women enjoying, as we all do, quality time in the company of like-minded friends.
But ladies expecting tips on turning a pair of curtains into a burkha or a session of recipe-swapping might be shocked to find the "sisters" in earnest debate over more vexing issues.
Such as the fate of homosexuals: should they be thrown from a high place before being killed or merely stoned to death? Or how should the problem Muslim who converts to a different faith be treated?
From female preacher Um Saleem, a hardline Islamist solution: "Kill him, kill, kill, kill him...you understand."
Oh yes, I think we get the message.
If Dispatches: Undercover Mosque - The Return made your stomach turn, imagine how the image of "sisters" preaching violent intolerant prejudice in the name of Allah will affect the majority of Muslims.
The rabid Miss Saleem says she doesn't believe Muslims should live in Britain, "land of the evil, land of the disbelievers".
Well, don't let us keep you, love. [Source: Mirror] By Sue Carroll | September 2, 2008
