Muslims speak to the Church of England Synod
London British Muslims sent a Church of England synod for the first time in fifteen days in a discussion with Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby on the suffering of religious minorities in Iraq and Syria. Fuad Nahdi, Head Radical Middle Way, a think tank engaged in interreligious dialogue, recited an Islamic prayer and welcomed the Anglican gathering. "The persecution of Christians in Iraq and Syria is abhorrent and totally unacceptable for any human being sane. But do not forget that Muslims have borne the brunt of these extremists," said Nahdi during his speech. "thousands, even tens of thousands have died in the last two years and they will continue to die if we pretend to ignore it," the Kenya-born militant, who was wearing a blue dress and hat, said hundreds of delegates.
assembled Nahdi also talked about the growing anger among Muslim youth in Britain in response to criticism that they face because of the actions of the extremists, they have nothing to do with "thousands of miles away. "" All the pressure is on us to try to justify things that are unjustifiable, "he said, calling for a peaceful existence and" fight against ignorance "joined by Christians and Muslims. also Nahdi wrote in an article published in the Guardian newspaper that he hopes his appearance "as the first Muslim to address the General Synod shows tht disciples of these great religions can be allies." The Church of England is the mother church of the worldwide Anglican Communion, which has about 80 million followers in over 165 countries.
