Don't pretend that the cloak of Islam and Islamic belief and religious fervor means that people like us cannot say that people who call for the murder of minority are not mainstream, are not acceptable and have to be critiqued. So, Tariq Ramadan, Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies at Oxford University,. Final word goes to your closing statement, incorporating some of the points raised by our audience. Thank you for that and welcome to Social cohesion.
