Sarcasm aside, is it not good that someone is attempting to do something positive to reduce the effects of extremism?
Doing negative things (like banning religion, which is what some on here have suggested) will only help reinforce the image that muslim believers are somehow being persecuted for their beliefs, and will only increase extremism.

Well, 'Guardian/Observer' are also ignoring the camp, but are also reporting the immigration scam/'honour killing'.

Did you even read the story you posted? The stated aim of the organisation backing this cultural centre is "to achieve a tipping point in Muslim-West relations within the next decade, steering the world back to the course of mutual recognition and respect".
Doesn't sound to me like they are trying to exclude non-muslims.. Rather the opposite.
