the muslim world has a great problem. it is underdeveloped and at this point in time and i'm not saying religion causes this but with the case of violence you look at the muslim world today. i cannot remember the figures but eight or nine or killed by other muslims and that is a very important statistic we have under development and under education and one great book that addresses the issue to be published by cambridge university press a highly important book that looks at these issues very critically. the point is there is a great need for reform and religion if we like it or not to be justified were used to justify the ongoing trends and issues in the middle east and far more patriarchy. and in tunisia are recently just last year there was a debate about introducing legislation and the most progressive for the parties and to oppose this legislation. so i do think there is a great need because muslims are still trying and struggling to come to terms with modernity. this is a big issue. this is a deep seated issue that n

you know because the government agenda has this and it says this guy muslims have been lynched muslims have been hunted down but now the stigmatize it even with this illness how is the left you know government policies on street now you can hear it everywhere and the of the it comes with the threat of extreme violence and of really i mean already if started building the detention center of the cities for that new law with now you know this for the duckie with this illness to do to create something with the word should really keep its i thought i cannot exaggerate . more so you say you say that the crisis here is approaching genocidal i mean that is really shocking if it has if it has gotten to the point you wrote recently in a piece sort of related to best you said that the tragedy is immediate it is real it is epic but it is not new it is the wreckage of a train that has been careening down the track for years whose eyes have been closed and who is eyes need to be open right now in order to prevent what you see as the threat of us of a genocide. well that i wrote actually that was i w

if you look at the muslim world today, i can't remember the figures but 8 or 9 muslims that are beingkilled today are being killed by other muslims and that i think is a very important statistic we have pervasive underdevelopment, undereducation in the muslim world. a lot of issues and problems, one great book that addresses these issues recently published by cambridge university, under development, highly, you know, important work i think that looks into the issues very critically but the point is there's a great need for reform and religion whether we like it or not is being used, is used to justify ongoing trends issues and problems in the middle east. a great problem of gender inequality. in tunisia debate about introducing legislation for equal inheritance and the most progressive islamic parties opposed this legislation and what are you going to do with this? i think this is important issue. i do think there's a great need for reform in islam because i think islam or muslims, rather, are still trying to in my opinion, trying to -- are struggling trying to come to terms with it.

how significant is the gathering of muslims together? country has improved —— people's perception. for us, seeing the many thousands of stories we've heard for people who have left more optimistic, feeling a sense of belonging, is incredibly difficult to accept the fact that we will not be able to reach out to those in the same way. but the challenges of ramadan this year may yet present an opportunity. i'm always apprehensive about fasting and will i be able to get through the day, how angry will i get when i'm hungry? how much i'm going to shout at the children. i think the pandemic is actually bringing me closer to religion and making me more spiritual. i can imagine how awful it must be to do it on your own, but i think it will bring us back to the true essence of fasting. next, teenagers from around the world have been drawing pictures to illustrate how they're coping with the pandemic. from fighting the disease like zombies, to showing their appreciation for health workers, here's how for young people from different corners of the

if you look at the muslim world today, i cannot remember the figures, but eight or nine muslims beingled today are being killed by other muslims. it's a very important statistic. we have pervasive underdevelopment, under education and the muslim world, a lot of issues and problems of one great book that addresses these issues of islamic group of authoritarianism and underdevelopment, highly important look, very critically but the point is there is a great need for reform. and religion whether you like it or not is being used or justified or is used to justify ongoing trends issues and problems in the middle east, the great problem of patriarchy for example, a great problem of gender inequality. in tunisia recently last year there was a debate about introducing legislation for equal inheritance in the most progressive islamic parties enough to oppose this registration. and what are you going to do with it, i think this is a really important issue, i think there is a great need for reform in islam because i think islam's or muslims rather are still trying, in my opinion, trying -- strug

well and in some aspects it is in others it isn't look muslim wasn't scholars muslim leaders they understand that this is a very difficult time even even the most orthodox leaders there the stance that the way things used to be done even last year that that is no longer acceptable just like every other sector of society they're trying to salvage and save what they can while adapting to new realities we must accept ramadan as a test sent to us by allah we lived and sometimes forgot about who gave us hope of life wellbeing and work today there is an opportunity to think to look at the past and into the future. especially important topic here in russia there's a very straight self isolation locked out in a texan russia has some 20000000 muslims which pales in comparison to some other countries but every nation seems to be seems to be establishing an order to things how this ramadan is going to be run by a toxic certain said professions are being exempt from observing the fast for example nurses who are working in tremendously stressful conditions wearing personal protection that which is you kn
