I get that that's how he acts, but I figured the people allowing him air time must have known he was full of shit. I don't get how people are acting surprised that the oaf was a fraud. He reeks of dishonesty. Did something in particular happen?
This may come across the wrong way, but my thoughts are that they didn't care. There are certain media (Guardian, BBC) who go out of there way to be the complete total polar opposite of anything even remotely critical of islam. They bend over backwards to make islam into the tellytubbies. If they could find a few imams to put their arms around each other and dance while singing "I love you, you love me, we're one happy family" they would do it. Not just once, but repeatedly as many times as they could get away with and reference it in every other sentance.
Muhammad was a decent bloke. Sharia is misunderstood. Halal is more ethical than non halal. It's possibly islamophobic to be critical of a 50+ year old man sticking his dick in a 9 year old child in this day and age. Islamists come from some strange other dimension because they couldn't possibly come from our reality. Mo Ansar is their dream muslim. I think even if there were suspicions, they would be ignored because he's so perfect for their agenda
They do have an agenda in my opinion. It's not even an agenda I'm against, there should be major media outlets to give some positive islam/muslim related news instead of all doom and gloom, but the fucking extremes they take it to...their own readers/viewers are calling them out on their bullshit.
