LET'S REPHRASE THAT
The BBC reports:
Let's reposition that in the following manner, and see how it might read put in a sane way:
The BBC reports:
...In London, a conference by a radical Islamist organisation banned in some Asian and Middle Eastern countries is expected to denounce US and British foreign policy.
Hizb ut Tahrir (HT) predicts more than 1,000 Muslims will attend its event. A previous conference attracted a similar-sized audience.
HT is considered to be on the fringe of Islam in Britain and its members believe that western society is incompatible with Islam.
The political organisation's primary aim is to establish a single Islamic regime across the Middle East. Jewish groups accuse it of anti-Semitism, although the organisation itself insists it does not advocate violence.
Dr Imran Waheed, a UK representative of the organisation, said: "Over the last few weeks we have seen intense discussion about Western foreign policy and the Muslim world. In an attempt to blur the debate, some politicians and media have equated Muslim anger against Western foreign policy as terrorism.
"In fact, the reality in the Muslim world today, from Tashkent to Tripoli, is that the vast majority of work against western imperialism comes through non-violent political struggle."...

¶ by Robert, Sunday, July 31, 2005"Over the last few weeks we have seen intense discussion about Muslims who blow themselves up because they have a problem with the Western world. In an attempt to blur the debate, some politicians, media and jihadists have equated Western disquiet with Islam-extolling suicide bombers with distrust of all individual Muslims.
"In fact, the reality in the Western world today, from Warsaw to Washington, is that the vast majority of work against jihadist imperialism comes through non-violent political struggle."
