I've been saying this for years, the UK media is complicit in giving guys like this publicity. To makes quick buck.

Whether you're an extremist, a moderate, a muslim or a christian, you all believe in and take orders from an invisible man in the sky.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, people obviously just want to turn to a name they can trust on subjects like this.
For instance in the vast majority of muslim countries it is not a legal requirement to wear a full headscarf? I bet you didn't know that.

Re: Interesting Twitter thread on terrorism and the media
That's ok then, the vast majority of countries it's not mandatory, only the millions upon millions living in Saudi Arabia, Iran etc. Oh Tower Hamlets London isn't great either.

So similar to the furore when "Life of Brian" first hit the cinemas (most cinemas, anyway - some wouldn't show it. Their loss)
