Mosque leaders blame UK foreign policy for extremism


The majority of Scotland's Islamic leaders believe UK foreign policy is to blame for members turning to extremism, according to a new report. A study by the Council of British Pakistanis in Scotland found nearly half of the country's 31 mosque leaders thought extremist behavior existed in Scotland. The "vast majority" cited the UK government's foreign policy as the reason, it found. A lack of parental guidance and the misinterpretation of the Islamic religion were also given as factors.
