Yes, that has been reported...and the body of the Manchester murderer is in a mortuary somewhere because no one wishes to deal with his remains.
130 is a start, but it won't be effective unless ALL imams do the same...and more.
The communities need to be handing these extremists in...and yes it has been reported that the community of the current attackers did this, nothing was done because no laws had been broken...perhaps it is time to have a different body to look after such reports, rather than the police.
The seed change needs to take place in their own communities...and not just in the Mosques.
The young men do not listen to the words of the imams, they do not speak the language of the young men.
This comes from Nazir Afzal(himself a Muslim) who was the Crown Prosecutor for the North West of England.
He was the man who looked again at the testimonies of the Abused girls in Rochdale, he was responsible for the convictions achieved in those cases.
It is not before time.
