I’ve come across a number of blog posts and forum discussions commenting on the programme last week, to which I responded in two parts. Most of it has, sadly, been along the typical knee-jerk lines, with many people simply unable to get their heads around the idea that people like those portrayed in the documentary actually exist. While it is nice to know there is still a level of innocence among our youth, we really need to wise up to what’s going on, if we’re going to: (a) protect our religion from corruption; (b) help people with their very real dilemmas.
I draw your attention to the following detailed article by Dr. Riyad Nadwi of Dar al-Uloom Oxford. He attained a PhD in Psycholinguistics after in-depth Islamic studies in India, including with the phenomenal Sheikh Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi.
Is this the Mountain that will Break the Back of Civilisation as we know it?
Sh. Riyad’s think-tank, the Oxford Cross-Cultural Research Institute, ”aims to cut through the ‘spin’ that surrounds contemporary debate to provide a fresh, independent commentary on current affairs.” It’s worth looking through his other articles.
