British Home Office on Sunday announced that it would hold meetings with Muslim minority leaders in the United Kingdom which aim at enhancing cooperation following the terrorist blasts that lately ripped off the British capital, London. Speaking at a news conference, a spokeswoman from the ministry indicated that eight meetings would take place in the ministry during this summer where Interior Secretary Charles Clarke would also present suggestions and future perspectives.
The meetings are expected to tackle burdens of Muslim minorities, as well as concerns of the British government, the spokeswoman said. Officials of the ministry will visit cities and villages that have a Muslim majority to discuss various issues concerning their stability and the overall security in the kingdom, she said. Minorities of other religions and origin will be also included during the ministry's visits. The main issues, the spokeswoman said, will be societal problems for the youth, combating radicals and extremists, Muslim women, mosques and their role in building healthy youth, along with other security issues. |
