Does Racism Drive Islamophobia? Out of Context (Part 9) - Omar Suleiman

An engaging conversation between a Christian Pastor and a Muslim Imam, "Out of Context" is a 14 part Interview series answers pressing questions about Islam and gives valuable insight into the spirit of the faith.

In Part 9 of the interview, Shaykh Omar takes questions from the audience. There is certainly an element of bigotry and racism, says Sheikh Omar Suleiman, because you'll find that the same people who are Islamophobic are also anti-Semitic. Within Islam, which is very monolithic, the majority follow the Sunni tradition while the remaining 10 percent belong to many different sects. The sectarianism we see today in countries like Iraq is a product of political turmoil. Before the war, Sunni and Shia intermarried for instance, despite their clear theological differences.
