islamic terrorist and separatist organisation.o create an independent caliphate. that kind of rhetoric has been floating around without hard evidence. so you think the west is being duped? duped, yes. it's a political decision. when you talk to western government officials, this is one of the problems i'd like to highlight here. because of the chinese government's strategic approach to creating hysteria, some of the good people in the national security intelligence communities in the uk and the united states and elsewhere have tapped into the chinese rhetoric, believing that china and the west are fighting a similar type of fight against terrorism, which defeats the logic. trouble is, i mean, whether or not you accept that some uighurs in exile are keeping some very unpleasant company, a study said they are forging strategic alliances with leading jihadist organisations affiliated with al qaeda and the taliban. there was a report only this week, mid—august 2018, that the chinese special envoy to syria is worried about uighurs havi

how are muslims responding to islamic phobia? how is it reshaping islam particularly in ways that i consider positive. one way is that for the first generation of one immigrant muslims came largely after 1965, muslims from south asia like us and from the middle east and persia from other parts of the world in the pacific, they built separate institutions. there is a bosnian mom, a pakistani mosque, et cetera. they principally understand muslim identity for things that are done in private orienting around this. they pay literally no attention to the african american muslim experience. in some ways they define themselves in contrast to it. what happened after 9/11 in the era of islamic phobia? you realize that you need each other and that you're not just an indonesian muslim or a pakistani muslim, saudi muslim, you are an american muslim. you didn't just arrive in 1967 after the immigration and naturalization act, there have been arabic prayers in this country probably from the time those first arrived. so, the whole narrative resh

in the islamic tradition abraham is called ibrahim the beloved of allah so according to islamic tradition abraham is also buried in the tomb of the patriarchs and hence that what we call in the jewish tradition the tomb of the patriarchs of. the cave of my fella. in arabic is called. the abrahamic mosque is that it's the longest standing holy place in the jewish religion here we had the temple of jerusalem but the temples were destroyed the walls that we see down were just the outer retaining walls but the tomb of the patriarchs was never destroyed the building that we see now was added on to so this is what makes it very important for the jewish faith and also the love that islam has for the profits of the bible are also mentioned in the koran so hence the profits that are buried in the tomb of the patriarchs make it as a well a holy place for islam because abraham in fact is abraham for muslims is considered the father of the islamic faith the the first one to testify and the oneness of god the father of monotheism. so the irony is that here we are in jerusalem and also in hebron which
