"We hope the government will do more to ensure its policy doesn't allow people to believe that the lives of some civilians are worth more to it than others," said Abdul Bari.
CAIRO — British Muslims have blamed Prime Minister Tony Blair's foreign policy on Iraq and Lebanon for fueling extremism around the world and putting the life of civilians at risk.
"It is our view that current British government policy risks putting civilians at increased risk both in the UK and abroad," said leading Muslim leaders and politicians in an open letter to Blair cited by the Guardian on Saturday, August 12.
The Muslim letter said that Blair's government has extensively focused on drafting laws to fight extremism at home.
"While some of this will have an impact, the government must not ignore the role of its foreign policy," it added.
