 The allegations made by Conservative MP, Robert Halfon, in the House today about ENGAGE are wholly untrue and a gross abuse of parliamentary immunity by a sitting MP.

Mr Halfon accuses ENGAGE of being “aggressively anti-Semitic, homophobic and has extensive links to terrorism in Tunisia and the Middle East.”

We call upon Mr Halfon to substantiate his allegations and if he can not, and we are assured he most certainly cannot, to retract the defamatory claims and offer ENGAGE a public apology.

We are dismayed at the attempt by Mr Halfon to malign the reputation and work of an organisation that exists to empower and encourage British Muslims to play a more active role in British media and politics.

Mr Halfon would not dare to make such allegations outside of Parliament knowing full well that he would be forced to defend them in court. We challenge him to repeat these accusations outside of Parliament.

Mr Halfon has abused his position as an MP, cowardly using the cloak of parliamentary immunity and Absolute Privilege to make these libellous claims. It is disreputable in the extreme and we expect a full apology.

By making a serious defamatory comment we should sue him in court as a person who should be unbiased and fair also he should be made to resign

This weasel should be held to account for his libellous rant & see if he would dare utter such hateful lies without the protection of privilege.

If ENGAGE is really guilty then surely the security services & judiciary would be knocking at the door.

This is just like the false accusations of rape.

we Christians, Jews, hindus, jains mandeans, Sikhs agnostics and atheists have had quite enough special pleading, wingeing and whining from your silly cult, if you do not like the way we do things - who gives a damn?

one person one vote - that's it.

except that your cult's beliefs and actions makes it necessary to regard all sunni muslims as potential terrorists

"We..." - my, my one person speaking for so many.

Even according to the highest arbiter on the English language, Islam is a religion, here's a clue, try reading your Oxford English Dictionary.

"beliefs...muslims as potential terrorists" - ah yes that hoary old chestnut. I think that instead of irrational hysteria, it would be better to look into the facts. Even the CIA & EUROPOL reports may surprise those fooled by the idiot box.
