RE CT Riley’s letter about the “extremist” Islam4UK (HAS, Jan 14). There is no way that they are brave enough to be called “extremists”. A true extremist is willing to put his life on the line for a cause. How many of these safe-in-this-country mouthpieces are willing to do just that?

Are they living in situations like the people in Afghanistan, Sudan, or the Yemen, etc, for whom death can be just around the corner through malnutrition, bomb or bullet? Are they heck as like.

Next time they are on the television or in newspapers have a look at the British Muslim extremist and see how many of them look as though they are starving or in fear of their lives.

They live in a country where they can spout their racial hatred without any fear whatsoever. They are all well fed and most are probably looked after by the British, not the Muslim, state.

It’s about time the state said to these people: “Your country looks after you, so you start looking after your country, including your Armed Forces. If you want Muslim rule, then go and live in a Muslim country, not a Muslim ghetto in Britain.”
