Muslim council of Britain publishes rights and responsibilities guide (24.09.04)

David Blunkett, the Home Secretary, has welcomed the publication of the Muslim Council of Britain's "Know Your Rights & Responsibilities" pocket guide which will be distributed to all Muslim households in Britain. As well as providing a range of advice on citizenship issues, the guide describes the averting of possible terrorist attacks as "an Islamic imperative". Mr Blunkett said: "As I have consistently made clear, the small minority of people engaged in religious extremism do not speak on behalf of the communities they claim to represent and we must continue to counter the false perceptions they promote".
