comments     Arfaeza A Aziz     Published     Updated

British High Commissioner to Malaysia, Bruce Cleghorn, denies that the impending war against Iraq is a war against Islam, as alleged by some quarters.

In a recent interview with malaysiakini , Cleghorn assured the Muslim community that his government has never associated the religion or its followers with terrorist or violent acts.

He said the British have acknowledged that any terrorist or violent acts committed to date have been the work of "an unrepresented group of men who do not represent the Muslim community at large".
