The civil war among Muslims in Britain
The previous government’s controversial programme for preventing violent extremism is currently being reviewed by the Home Office. How did it happen that programmes which were introduced with the aim of promoting “community cohesion” and preventing the influence of violent extremists ended up achieving the opposite of what they set out to achieve? Since the introduction of such programmes British Muslim communities have been engaged in what is effectively a ‘civil war’ which has left young Muslims (the intended beneficiaries of the programmes) further marginalised and more vulnerable to extremist ideas.

"On the other hand Shi’a Mosques and Imams in the UK continue to engage in healthy debates on matters relating to domestic and foreign policy. Could this explain why young British Shi’as have not been vulnerable to violent extremist ideas in the way that Sunnis have?"
Don't expect that has anything to do with 'Taqiyya' :roll:

I doubt it is taqiyya.
and it would also depend on the questions asked.
Ask them if they are for or against Iran, and I am sure their answer will generally be one that atleast some will consider "militant". and some (maybe those who have or have family that has felt the negative effects of ther egime) will disagree.
Does that mean they are at war with each other?
No.

I don't think TheRevival is the place for you tbh.
This isn't a very politically Muslim corner of the internet.
