A day before the attacks in the U.S., I wrote a scathing column in a London newspaper calling for moderate Muslims to denounce the Taliban and other "Islamic" rulers who make me ashamed to be a Muslim. I criticized British Muslims for failing to condemn militants, the oppressors of women and those who have developed such a joyless and oppressive Islam on our own shores.

He said that suspects within the Muslim community who carried out acts that did not correspond with Muslim teaching should be tried by their co-religionists and not by others. Later he said that if evidence were provided by the U.S. pointing to Osama bin Laden's guilt he should be handed over to an "international tribunal" for trial. Asked to explain the Taliban's actions in Afghanistan, the vice-chancellor said...
