Interfaith: Home / Blog article: Christian bishop warns on Islamic no-go areas
January 6, 2008Christian bishop warns on Islamic no-go areas
by Brian Turner
Islamic extremism has turned some communities into no-go areas for people of a different faith or race, a Church of England bishop has said.
The Bishop of Rochester, the Right Reverend Dr Michael Nazir-Ali, said non-Muslims may find it difficult to live or work in some places.
He said there was “hostility” in those areas and described the government’s multicultural policies as divisive.
Muslims and some politicians have accused the bishop of scaremongering.
But other politicians agreed with the bishop, saying he had highlighted a real problem.
It comes as the government said Muslim women would be offered assertiveness training in an attempt to fight extremism in their communities.
