You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[Islamism]] ([[political Islam]]) has existed in the [[United Kingdom]] since the 1970s, and has become widely visible and a topic of political discourse since the beginning of the 21st century.

[[Islam in the United Kingdom]] has grown rapidly due to [[Immigration to the UK|immigration]] since the 1980s. In 2011, 2.7 million Muslims (4.8% of total population) lived in the UK (mostly [[Islam in England|in England]]), more than quintupling over a 30-year period (550,000 in 1981), with a continued tendency of rapid growth.<ref>((cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/immigration/10562574/Almost-a-tenth-of-babies-and-toddlers-in-England-and-Wales-are-Muslim-census-figures-show.html|title=Almost a tenth of babies and toddlers in England and Wales are Muslim, census figures show|last=Perry|first=Keith|date=January 10, 2013|work=The Daily Telegraph))</ref>

==Early history==
Radical Islam has been present in Great Britain since the 1970s, but has not received wider public attention prior to the  [[7 July 2005 London bombings]];  [[List of terrorist incidents in Great Britain|terrorism in Britain]] during the 1970s to 1990s was mostly due to the [[Northern Ireland conflict]], and it was only after the 2005 incidents that the presence of radical political Islam in Britain was widely recognized and studied.((fact?|date=July 2017))

Dawatul Islam is an  Islamist organisation based in London, founded in 1978<ref>[http://www.linkedin.com/company/da%27watul-islam-uk-&-eire] Da'watul Islam UK & Eire on LinkedIn</ref>((unreliable source?|date=July 2017)) from the [[Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan]]-originated [[UK Islamic Mission]] to cater to East Bengali Muslims in Britain after the founding of Bangladesh in 1971.((citation needed|date=July 2017))

Syrian Islamist [[Omar Bakri Muhammad]] moved to the United Kingdom in 1986, and established a chapter of [[Hizb ut-Tahrir]], and later 
[[Al-Muhajiroun]] ("The Emigrants"), which was proscribed under the [[Terrorism Act 2000]] on 14 January 2010. 
Social disturbance began in the Muslim community in England in 1988 with the publication of the satirical novel [[The Satanic Verses]] in London.((citation needed|date=July 2017)) The book was condemned with a fatwa the following year.<ref>((cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/february/14/newsid_2541000/2541149.stm |title=BBC ON THIS DAY &#124; 14 &#124; 1989: Ayatollah sentences author to death |publisher=BBC News |access-date=2013-10-20))</ref>

In 1989, an [[Islamic Party of Britain]] was founded by a Sheffield-born [[conversion to Islam|convert]].((citation needed|reason=Islamic is not Islamist|date=July 2017))

The [[Islamic Forum of Europe]] was founded in 1990.
It was reportedly founded by former members of the [[Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami|Jamaat-e-Islami]]-affiliated group Dawatul Islam, with whom it came into  conflict over management of the [[East London Mosque]] "throughout the late 1980s"<ref>Husain, Ed, ''The Islamist'', Penguin, 2007, p.24-5, 166</ref> resulting in "two High Court injunctions" in 1990 in "response to violence" at the mosque.<ref>Husain, Ed, ''The Islamist'', Penguin, 2007, p.279</ref>

The [[Islamic Society of Britain]] (ISB) was set up in 1990  to promote Islamic values.<ref>[http://www.isb.org.uk Islamic Society of Britain].

In 1997, some supporters of the [[Muslim Brotherhood]] "broke off" from ISB to form the [[Muslim Association of Britain]].((relevance inline|date=July 2017))

==Development after 2005==

[[The Saved Sect]] operated from 2005 but was banned in 2006.
The extent of the phenomenon was illustrated during the [[Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy|''Jyllands-Posten'' Muhammad cartoons controversy]] of 2006, when [[Al Ghurabaa]], successor organisation to the disbanded [[Al-Muhajiroun]], called Muslims to "Kill those who insult the Prophet Muhammad", resulting in [[2006 Islamist demonstration outside the Embassy of Denmark in London|extensive protests in London]].((citation needed|date=July 2017))

Following the 2005 terror attacks, the phenomenon of Islamism within the resident Muslim population in Britain receive wider interest.
An early publication was ''[[Londonistan: How Britain is Creating a Terror State Within]]'' (2006). ''[[Undercover Mosque]]'' aired in 2007 (with a [[Undercover Mosque: The Return|2008 sequel]]).
[[Islam4UK]] led by [[Anjem Choudary]] (a [[British Pakistani]] born in the UK 1967) had been active from 2009. It has also been banned under the [[Terrorism Act 2000]] on 14 January 2010.

Since 2006, the [[Islamic Forum of Europe]] (IFE) has been under scrutiny as fostering Islamist politics among Bangladeshi immigrants.<ref name=delwar>Delwar Hussain, "[http://www.opendemocracy.net/content/articles/PDF/3715.pdf Bangladeshis in East London: from secular politics to Islam] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120412204104/http://www.opendemocracy.net/content/articles/PDF/3715.pdf |date=2012-04-12 ))", [[openDemocracy]], 7 July 2006</ref> IFE and the [[East London Mosque]], have hosted extremist preachers including [[Anwar al-Awlaki]].<ref>((cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/election-2010/7728272/Radical-Muslims-lose-grip-on-London-council.html |title= Radical Muslims lose grip on London council| author= Andrew Gilligan |date= 16 May 2010|work=The Daily Telegraph))</ref>

Responding in a comment piece in the Guardian newspaper, [[Inayat Bunglawala]] of the [[Muslim Council of Britain]] suggested that many of the people interviewed on the programme had "hidden agendas of their own" suggesting that Jim Fitzpatrick's claim of the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]] having been "infiltrated" by IFE was motivated by upcoming elections.<ref>Inayat Bunglawala, "[https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/belief/2010/mar/03/dispatches-islamic-forum-europe Watch out: democratic Muslims about]", ''The Guardian'', 3 March 2010</ref>
The IFE and YMO were featured in the book ''[[The Islamist]]'' (2007) by [[Ed Husain]], where he explains that the YMO attracts mainly English-speaking Asian youths, providing circles or talks daily at the East London Mosque; while teaching about [[Islam]], it covers the political system of the religion.<ref>''The Islamist'', pp. 52-60.</ref>

The [[Islamic Human Rights Commission]] (IHRC, established in 1997) was classified as "a radical Islamist organisation that uses the language and techniques of a human rights lobbying group to promote an extremist agenda"  by the [[Stephen Roth Institute]] in 2005.<ref>"The Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) is a radical Islamist organisation that uses the language and techniques of a human rights lobbying group to promote an extremist agenda. Formed in 1997 by its current chairman, Massoud Shadjareh, the IHRC supports jihad groups around the world, campaigns for the release of convicted terrorists and promotes the notion of a western conspiracy against Islam. Shadjareh and the IHRC subscribe to the radical Islamist belief that Jewish conspiracies are afoot to undermine Muslims, and they liken Jews and Israelis to Nazis. Members of the IHRC's board of advisors have even called on Muslims to kill Jews. They include the Saudi Islamist Muhammad al-Mas‘ari and Muhammad al-‘Asi, an American convert to Islam who was banned from preaching at his mosque in Washington, D.C., and has been a frequent visitor to Britain.
