Tablighi Jamaat is more dangerous, in the end, than Al Qaeda. It attracts less attention, and far less worry. But its ultimate goals are the same.

The BBC has decided to broadcast its 'Question Time' this Thursday evening, discriminatorily against men, with a women-only audience in Dewsbury, to celebrate International Women's Week.

The BBC's David Dimbleby, who chairs the programme, will not point out in his introduction that Dewsbury is a HQ for TABLIGHI JAMAAT,  nor to be mentioned by BBC, the nature of TABLIGHI JAMAAT:

[Extract from a 'Middle East Forum piece]-

.."there is no doubt that some of the vast sums spent by Saudi organizations such as the World Muslim League on proselytism benefit Tablighi Jamaat. As early as 1978, the World Muslim League subsidized the building of the Tablighi mosque in Dewsbury, England, which has since become the headquarters of Tablighi Jamaat in all of Europe.[10] Wahhabi sources have paid Tablighi missionaries in Africa salaries higher than the European Union pays teachers in Zanzibar.[11] In both Western Europe and the United States, Tablighis operate interchangeably out of Deobandi and Wahhabi controlled mosques and Islamic centers.

"Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

"The West's misreading of Tablighi Jamaat actions and motives has serious implications for the war on terrorism. Tablighi Jamaat has always adopted an extreme interpretation of Sunni Islam, but in the past two decades, it has radicalized to the point where it is now a driving force of Islamic extremism and a major recruiting agency for terrorist causes worldwide. For a majority of young Muslim extremists, joining Tablighi Jamaat is the first step on the road to extremism. Perhaps 80 percent of the Islamist extremists in France come from Tablighi ranks, prompting French intelligence officers to call Tablighi Jamaat the "antechamber of fundamentalism."[12] U.S. counterterrorism officials are increasingly adopting the same attitude. "We have a significant presence of Tablighi Jamaat in the United States," the deputy chief of the FBI's international terrorism section said in 2003, "and we have found that Al-Qaeda used them for recruiting now and in the past."
