"If you erase the Jewish connection with the Holy Land, where does it leave us? Islam just floats in the air". Our guest today has an unequivocal message of peace between Muslims and Jews and his solution comes from faith and identity - from religion, not secularity.
His name is Imam Mohammad Tawhidi, also known as the Imam of Peace. He has an extraordinary outreach in the world, with over 900,000 Twitter followers plugged into his worldview. In the secular west and its historical colonies with national borders, is it possible to unite them through faith? The Abraham Accords suggest this is a key to a lasting peace. But what about the Palestinians? Where do they fit in? Is it true the gulf Arabs don’t even regard them as Arabs, let alone a Muslim cause?
And is antisemitism behind the world’s support for them? Get your head around this fascinating theological conversation with Imam Mohammad Tawhidi.
