Can it really be the case no one around them knew? Lots of parents don't know 13 aged children that well. Lack of honest communication between parents and their children is something which is a bit of a challenge in moslem commun s, especially working class communities. So i do think there is a challenge. As i said in the book, i want to try and be clear eyed, and i want to be optimistic, but i also want to be clear eyed.
In this week's episode Sarfraz Manzoor speaks to Ros Urwin about his investigative journey across Britain in search of the roots of division - from the fear that Islam promotes violence, to the suspicion that Muslims wish to live segregated lives, to the belief that Islam is fundamentally misogynistic. His new book They is a search for a more positive future. We hear stories which go against common stereotypes about Islam that reveal a much more tolerant and progressive community than commonly assumed. Manzoor unpicks why society is divided in this way and how we can bridge the gaps between groups.
