If the Imam could tell their people to stop attacking others and sending death threats just because a book was burnt or they drew a picture, that could help. If not, he can continue worrying.
As he should be because that’s the Islamic community him and other Muslim faith leaders have created over the past couple of decades, one that has deintergrated.
I had Pakistani Muslim mates at school back in the 80s, they’d probably be considered liberal Muslims now. It wasn’t until university that I encountered strict(er) Muslims from the Middle East which was what the community would largely become (Saudi money?). One mate from Jordan was very liberal but his housemates and parents were conservative and his housematse would grass on him to his parents if he did anything that might be considered haram and so he had the threat of his parents stopping funding for his studies.
‘Imam deeply worried that native-British people don’t agree with the death penalty for apostasy, drawing cartoons of Muhammed or adultery’
And I am deeply worried by the fact surveys of British Muslims show that their views are at odds with the rest of the UK…
– Only 17% think it is undesirable that women take a more traditional role in society
– Only 27% say it would be undesirable to outlaw gay marriage (compared to 60% of the wider public)
– Only 28% say it would be undesirable to outlaw homosexuality in the UK (compared to 62% of the public as a whole)
– Only 26% say it would be undesirable to outlaw abortion, compared to 63% of the public as a whole
– Only 35% say it would be undesirable to legalise polygamy, compared to 70% of the public
Maybe the Imam should be worried about that? As it is clear those views are not compatible.
You know what makes British people “deeply worried”. The fact when polled a third of British Muslims sympathised with the 9/11 attackers, and over 2/3rds believed homosexuality should be illegal.
Any Religion is flat out incompatible with the modern world.
We should make sure to put up our defences for the radical version of ‘Christianity’ that has thrived in America and lead to things like the repealing of federally mandated women’s health care.
Your 2000 year old book is fucking irrelevant.
Well, over half of british muslims feel my right to marry should be banned, so maybe consider that.
