British to “wage propaganda war” against al-Qa’ida

Independent Online Edition > UK Politics

The *Independent* today reports on the planned propaganda campaign to spell out British values to young Muslims in some sort of effort to lure them away from extremism, apparently modelled on an American campaign a few years ago. I hope they manage better accuracy than the picture of young women in blue *hijabs* in today’s Indie, captioned to the effect that the campaign will point out that no girls could go to school in a caliphate.

As any knowledgeable Muslim will point out, when there was a caliphate girls, and women, *did* get an education and many of the major imams actually took knowledge from women. With one well-known exception, most of the countries where Muslim girls have been denied an education are secular states.
