Is it worth talking with the radicals and the extremists?

Posted on February 25, 2017February 26, 2017 By Mike Ghouse 1 Comment on Is it worth talking with the radicals and the extremists?
Is it worth talking with the radicals and the extremists?

Is it worth talking with the radicals and the extremists? Should members of the Muslim community engage extremists and radicals in public discussions? By Mike Ghouse Each one of us thinks differently.  We have a choice to ‘stay away from each other’ and let the ill-will, suspicion and doubts simmer to become unmanageable.  I hope…

The Difficult is the Path Itself, discrimination in France

By Abdennour Toumi — Paris – France The “Charlie” spirit still haunts France’s politicians, media, academicians and streets. France pre-January 7/15 is no longer France post-January 11/15. Meanwhile on the avenues, in the banlieues (suburbs), and Sunday markets everything seems to be going at a normal pace, and life moves on.  Still the tension is…
