Muslim seeks to gain seats in British election

[longknife]

God bless the Queen.

Except that she’s the head of the Church of England and makes her a foe of Islam.

And Muslims are gaining more and more political power across her realm.

Mosques in Finsbury Park in North London, Birmingham’s Central Mosque, and Masjid Alhikmah and Community Centre in Aberdeen have all called on its worshipers to register to vote.

Nasir Mahmood, Deputy Chair of Birmingham Central Mosque, said: “It is the civic duty of every citizen – Muslim or not – to exercise their democratic right to vote. As community leaders, we must do our utmost to help our members participate as fully in the election as they wish to. This initiative is key to engaging our communities and helping Muslims make their voices heard this election.”

Harun Khan, The General Secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain Secretary General, said: “As active participants in our society, Muslims – in all their diversity – can play a significant role in what may become a close election, and we hope that the parties listen and reach out to Muslim communities across the country to engage on issues of concern.”

Britain is a diverse country. Why shouldn't their representation in government reflect that?

There is nothing in the article about Muslims gaining seats in the election. It just talks about Muslim leaders urging that Muslims register to vote and to vote. Being a segment of British society, they should be involved in the electoral process.
