Is Islam "A Threat To Our Way Of Life?" - Paul Salahuddin Armstrong

  • Summary

  • Welcome to The UnShaw Podcast.

    In the summer in Britain, tensions between Muslim communities and far-right activists ignited after a false rumour spread, linking a horrific triple child murder to a Muslim immigrant. For a moment, it seemed we might be on the brink of a repeat of the widespread riots and violence that gripped the nation in 2011, following the police killing of Mark Duggan in North London.

    However, this time around, the far-right's attempts to incite fear and chaos were met with mass counter-protests .

    But this raises bigger questions: Are the concerns about Islam in politics justified? Do claims from right-wing groups that Islam seeks to dominate communities hold any truth? Does the Quran promote violence against non-Muslims, as some say? And should the rise of mosques across the U.K. in the past two decades be a cause for concern?

    To help unpack these complex issues, I’m joined today by Paul Armstrong, Managing Director of the Association of British Muslims. Paul's unique perspective, as a devout Muslim and a white Briton, brings fresh insight into this debate. Together, we’ll explore common criticisms of Islam and whether they stand up to scrutiny.
