Islam Is A Peaceful Religion: Adam Deen in
an Oxford Union Debate following the murder of a British Soldier by an Islamist
fanatic in Woolwich
By Adam Deen
It's quite easy to assume from the
sensations headlines at the very idea of speaking about Islam peace seems
nonsensical. After all week doesn't does not go by without a extremist Muslim
hitting the headlines. And this evening our esteemed speakers arguing for the
opposition are going to paint this sinister picture referring to the usual
polemics and we had a taste of that so far, but what I would say in order to
assess the debate this evening effectively, we must distinguish the Muslim, the
imperfect practitioner from Islam. The spiritual message and the ethical ideals
and interacting adhered to, and also what I would say is that we must allow
Islam to define itself, not Saudi Arabia but all these horrible places that
were mentioned. We must allow Islam to define itself and assess how Islam sees
itself in its entirety.
