Controversial Views on Islam and Speakers

Every now and then, every time we have a conference,

every time we

invite a speaker,

they always can come with the same accusations.

This speaker supports death penalty for

homosexuals. This speaker supports death penalty

for this crime or this crime or that he is

homophobic. He, they subjugate women, etc.,

etc., etc. It's the same old stuff coming all the

time.

And we always try to tell them, I always try to tell them that,

"Look, it's not that speaker that we're inviting

who has these extreme radical views, as you say.

These are general views that every Muslim actually

has. Every Muslim believes in these things.

Just because they're not telling you about it, or just because they're not

out there in the media doesn't mean they don't believe in them."
