Three questions about Islam
| 10:18 UK time, Thursday, 28 December 2006
The Muslim pilgrimage of Hajj and the show comes live from London and Mecca tonight. Rabiya is there for us and we're going to use this opportunity to consider a year when the relationship between Islam and the West has been at the centre of many of our discussions on WHYS.
From the rights and wrongs of Muslim women to of the Prophet Mohammed, there is no other issue (and I include the war in Iraq) which you have wanted to talk about more.
So here are three questions to consider:
Do Western societies need to be more flexible in accommodating Muslims? (and the other way round - do Muslims need to be flexible with their faith while living in the West?)
Is the fact we've talked so much about the relationship between Islam and the West a sign that dialogue is increasing, or a sign that the relationship is deteriorating?
And... do Muslims living in Muslim countries care if relations with the Western world are good, bad or indifferent?
