Muslim schoolchildren in the UK should be made to take
"de-radicalization" lessons to counter the dangerous ideology of
Islamic State, a Pakistani senior Islamic scholar and politician has
said.
Dr Muhammad Tahir Al Qadri warned the battle against Islamic State
(formerly ISIS/ISIL) must be fought on a theological and ideological
front, as well as politically and economically.
***The prominent scholar of Sufi Islam has developed the "first"
counter-terrorism curriculum for schools and universities which he
will launch in London on Tuesday.*** [Emphasis added.]
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today program, Qadri said the UK should
tackle radicalization through the education system.
"It should be on the curriculum. Peace should be taken as peace
studies as a subject. De-radicalization should be taken as a subject.
Counter-terrorism should be taken as a subject."
"The problem is that we have not been addressing this issue on the
theological front and on the ideological front. We have been taking it
just as a political, economic and social issue."
"We should try to influence the generations – whether second or third
or fourth – to always be peaceful and always [condemn] the act of
extremism, act of terrorism wherever it is," he added.

Muslims must not 'quietly condone' ISIS – Cameron
Qadri said lessons should be compulsory for Muslim students, but
optional for non-Muslims.
He emphasized that Muslims should be taught the true teachings of the
Koran, "based on love and tolerance and coexistence and togetherness."
Qadri is an outspoken critic of Islamic extremism having published a
600-page Fatwa on Terrorism in 2010.
Speaking at the launch of the book in London, he said: "Terrorism is
terrorism, violence is violence and it has no place in Islamic
teaching and no justification can be provided for it, or any kind of
excuses or ifs or buts."
Qadri returns to the UK on Tuesday to launch his counter-terrorism
curriculum which he hopes British state schools and universities will
adopt.

radicalization – Muslim Forum
The Sufi scholar said the syllabus draws on Koranic verses and
teachings of the Prophet Muhammad to expose the illegitimacy of ISIS's
ideology. The Times of India quotes Qadri describing Islamic State as
"an enemy of humanity."
His comments follow Prime Minister David Cameron's criticism of Muslim
communities in the UK for "quietly condoning" extremism, after more
than 700 Britons are estimated to have left Britain to fight for IS.
Speaking in Slovakia last week, Cameron called on British Muslims to
do more to stop radicalization and reverse the flow of young people
who are joining ISIS in the Middle East.
"If you're a troubled boy who is angry at the world or a girl looking
for an identity, for something to believe in, and there's something
that is quietly condoned online or perhaps even in parts of your local
community then it's less of a leap to go from a British teenager to an
[ISIS] fighter or an [ISIS] wife than it would be for someone who
hasn't been exposed to these things," he said.
