Andrew O'Neil and pals try to smear CAGE's Asim Qureshi on BBC This Week

[@27bri27]

Wow. He was treated so bad. He got asked questions that he couldn't answer honestly for fear of revealing his true self. Poor asim.

[@sillysod33]

They didn’t need to try to smear him. He smeared himself every time he opened his treacherous mouth.

[@Ladyblobblob]

Good fair questions: shame he didn't fully answer. Speaks volumes to the rest of us... shame.

I hope MI5 are monitoring the owner of this KZbin account for extremism.

This is such a difficult issue. On one side I stand by and support the Muslim community for the clear oppression they're suffering in this country. Whoever argues that non-whites in the UK aren't disadvantaged is talking rubbish. I would be angry if I were Muslim and British today. Very angry. I see why Asim Qureshi is angry. I see why Mohammed Emwazi was angry. What I disagree with is this expression of anger and resorting to violence. History has show what a futile course of action this is. On top of this, fundamentalist Islam only isolates the Muslim community further because it is so strongly rejected by Western values. The public switch off if spokespeople are supporting jihad, the death penalty, FGM, stoning or anything else along these lines. There has to be a move away from this thinking towards the mainstream to get this issue dealt with and eliminate the mistreatment of Muslim people in Britain. Non-Muslims will be more resistant to seeing things from the perspective of Muslims if the media are empowered to drive an anti-Muslim agenda with interviews like this.

@@michaelhart6476 Well said...This clown is doing a disservice to the Islamic community as well as giving bigots all the ammunition to spread hate and ignorance about Islam and decent Muslims...He is a traitor to his people and faith but fortunately some us can see thru it. Much respect and well wishes from America.
