Why the West is wrong about Islam? Oborne failed to make a case, or even attempt to. This was just a series of assertions, not even arguments. He hardly spoke about Islam at all, this was just him saying how wrong Rupert Murdoch, Michael Gove, Douglas Murray and others are without substantive evidence. I was waiting for refutations that, in his words, the West thinks Islam is a “barbarous, cruel religion, which threatens the West and is seen as evil”, but none came.
The contention that the clash of civilisations was false was not even attempted. Oborne obviously knows next to nothing about Islam, and has either been conned, or is content with the virtuous bliss of ignorance. However, his idea that the Muslim Brotherhood is a ‘prophylactic against violence’ betrays some knowledge. You have to ask the question, why would members of the Muslim Brotherhood be getting ideas about violence? Where would they be coming from?
And someone ought to inform him that ‘Love thy neighbour’, is not a tenet of Islam, as it has no concept of random fellowship, only bitter division.
