Britain’s largest Muslim group decides that it will acknowledge the Holocaust after all:
Britain’s largest Muslim organisation is to end its boycott of Holocaust Memorial Day.
The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) voted this weekend to halt its protest because of concerns that it made the organisation vulnerable to charges of antiSemitism. Representatives have controversially stayed away from Holocaust Memorial Day activities, which began in 2001.
The Council, which had wanted to rename the event (one suggestion was Genocide Memorial Day) to focus attention on other genocides, expects to lose members as a result of its 18-8 vote to end its boycott of the event.
Good. Let the hard-liners separate themselves from the rest. It makes them easier to scrutinize.
