Islam in a cold climate

Description

A struggle is underway for the hearts and minds of Britain's young Muslims. Islam is the fastest growing faith in the UK with around two million followers. Most are ordinary and proud citizens at home in an increasingly multicultural nation. But some young British Muslims are seen as its greatest terror threat -- by fellow citizens and governments at home and abroad. ""Islam In A Cold Climate"" focuses on the struggle to stop the radicalization of young men, and at the other challenges facing the Muslim communities. It offers a powerful and wide-ranging overview of the UK's Muslims. We hear from voices across the spectrum -- from those dedicated to establishing Sharia law and who condone the use of violence, including the leader of the recently outlawed Islam UK group, to those actively working to prevent the radicalisation of young men and women and those who argue that multiculturalism has failed society. The film, shot across the UK features key Muslim MPs and Government Ministers, former Jihadists, young people, opinion makers, Imams and others.
