Here`s two Muslim Clerics having it out on an Aussie news channel about the Manchester attack and radicalization ... One actually sounds a bit like our very own T.Robinson! Had a white Christian expressed the same views as the Cleric on the Right...Racist,hate speech slurs would abound!! I`d imagine he has put himself in a great deal of danger within his own community.
Great to see some honesty brought into the debate by one of their own for a change, if I saw more of that in the UK then it would give me a glimmer of hope.
Excellent video clip, adds extra weight to the debate when one of their own is warning the Australian Government about what could lay ahead in the future. If it was an Australian in the clip then a lot of people would just say he is just being Islamophobic.
Funeral directors and councils in Greater Manchester refusing to handle Abedi 's body, good for them just like Brady he should not be buried in Greater Manchester. Anyone need a urinal making very low grade ash on offer!
For me this is not about religion, it is about cultures. Most western muslims are moderate, its a fact. Some drink, some dance etc etc. The difference between these and the more radical is the cultural difference between middle eastern imams and beliefs and the west. To a lesser degree it happens in Christianity with some CoE countries persecuting gay people for example. The middle eastern culture is very patriarchal, misogynistic and almost medieval. It is that Islam which causes the issue. That culture is an anethema to the west and vice versa. It would not matter what religion it was, it could have been Christianity, because its the core fabric of that society which revolts against the west. Western Islam is a safe as western Christianity, its the radical version from Saudi and Syria which is the issue. There is also a difference between Persian and Arabic muslims it seems. We do not see many Iranian or Iraqi born terrorists in my opinion. Anyway, just a theory.
