Religious Leaders Speak out

November 20, 2006 · 3 Comments


Over at the BBC you will find an interview with an Oxford Professor, Tariq Ramadan. The professor sounds really nervous to me as he tries to answer some tough questions from the interviewer. You can compare the comments from representatives of all three “desert” religions, including an interview with a Christian, and with Chief Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks.

    Not just any old “Christian”, that second interview you mention. It’s the Archbishop of Canterbury, head of the worldwide Anglican communion, Rowan Williams.

    It’s especially important to make this clear as he also does such a terrible job of responding to Humphrey’s passionate but patient questioning.

    You are correct, Bob! You get a smily face (:-)for close reading.

    Gee, Bob, thanks for making this clear. I too noticed who the speakers were when I read the interviews.
