Click to play videoLondon: The release of a video-taped message from a London bomber on the eve of the July 7 terror attack anniversary has again brought the Jehadi movement in England into focus.
Muslim leaders in Britain admit the existence of a strong and a rapidly growing Jehadi network within the country.
"During 80s and 90s, we had so many Jehadi leaders who came and spoke and recruited a lot of young people here in this country, and of course all the network has existed, remained," Ghiyasuddin Siddiqui of The Muslim Institute says.
Many Muslims believe the call for Jehad on the latest tape is a blow to British Muslims.
"It has tremendously damaged the Muslim situation and I think the time has come the Muslim community recognises that unless and until we expose, marginalise this fringe group, their own existence in this country will be in doubt," Siddiqui says.
But many Muslim leaders do see the community as more persecuted than persecuting.
"A year back it was the terrorists who were doing it. Now it is the British government that is collectively punishing the people. This is what is felt by a lot of young Muslims, just going out, walking on the streets, not knowing when you will be stopped and searched,” Munaf Zeena
of the Council of Indian Muslims says.
Pleasant enough on the face of it, the city is uneasy again over Muslims in Britain after a Jehadi interview with one of the bombers and a survey that suggests that many Muslims see the bombers as martyrs, not terrorists.
