I didn't see it that way, he seemed to think that by being agreeable, and servile and ultra friendly would appease the Islamaphobe.
He did not even know the basic rules of debating 101.
Fascinating case study Robinson was laying a trap, with each question so he could attack with a follow up. The Imam did not even give him an opportunity to follow up. Just submitted and volunteered opinions for the benefit of the Islamaphobe and his propaganda and served them on a platter.
These are the sort of answers I would have given when I was like a 12 year old school kid, and had no knowledge of Deen or Islamic history and geo-politics and no confidence.
These 15 minutes of fame will haunt the imam, and his comments have stirred a lot of division and discord amongst the Muslims. Judging by the reaction on Social Media.
Palestinians Vs non Palestinian claiming to speak on their behalf.
Arabs Vs Desi's
Pakistanis Vs Indians.
Barelwis Vs Deobandis.
Salafis Vs Deobandis.
Gujaratis Vs Non Gujaratis.
He gave a bad representation of Subcontinental scholarship, bad representation, of Deobandi school of thought, bad representation of the Gujarati community. Bad representation
of Islam overall, and managed to stir up ethnic tensions with in the Muslim community.
