Muslim journalist Mehdi Hasan, political editor of the Huffington Post, warns Anne Marie Waters (the girl in red wearing) that her "astonishing claims" might endanger her future as a Labour Party candidate, but assured her "don't worry, the BNP will take you".
Hasan asks why, if Islam is "responsible for killing," such a tiny percentage of believers actually participate in violence. He asks the audience if they really believe that 1.6 billion people are all "followers, promoters and believers in a religion of violence".
Hasan urges them not to "fuel the arguments of the phobes and bigots and legitimise hate", but to "trust the Muslims that you know and that you hear."

Thank you.
Like our Ex-PM said:
1. The world is in a bad shape because politicians instead of journalists run it. I came to this conclusion after reading a copy of The Economist, the British magazine. The writers in the Economist seem to know everything that ails the world and they also know how all these ailment can be cured.
- POLITICIANS vs JOURNALISTS @chedet.cc
I guess...
we also need to be equiped with at least
the fundemental of the worldview of Islam.
You are truly welcome sir and your comment are truly greatful for me.
It is really frustrating to hear people says that muslims are terrorist. It just like saying amongst all the religion in the world, islam is the baddest, meanest of all. Truth to be told: Islam really are a religion of compassion and mercy. Just like other all religious act, islam DO teach us to live peacefully without war.
