Muslim response to IS in Iraq
Loading player...
With Gaza in the spotlight, there has been very little focus on violence elsewhere in the Middle East. Right now, we are seeing a conflict in northern Iraq, where a group called the Islamic State is persecuting Christians and other minorities. Yesterday, The Vatican called on Muslim religious leaders to condemn the activity of Islamic State fighters in Iraq.
What should the Muslim response be to the current violence in Iraq? Well we ask imam, Dr Rashied Omar who is a scholar in religion, conflict and peacebuilding at the university of Notre Dame. He is also the imam at Claremont main road masjid.
Guest: Imam Dr Rashied Omar
Position: Scholar and imam
