Isn’t Samira Ahmed a muslim? Not that I’m saying muslims shouldn’t be allowed, but it did surprise me… And I absolutely adore AC Grayling.
Maybe Samira Ahmed is an agnostic, atheist, or just a liberal Muslim engaging with the issues? She's a good journalist, I like her. Although Krishnan rules Channel 4 News, sorry Samira.
I've variously heard her referred to as having a Muslim background and being raised as a Muslim, but I've never heard her clarify the point. She's an excellent journalist and an incredibly smart individual. I never finished watching Islam Unveiled (a Chan 4 Dispatches documentary) but, whilst I recall thinking it was generally good, she did engage a little in the "{insert bad thing associated with Islam} isn't in the Koran, so it's not actually anything to do with Islam" fallacy. If I remember correctly she tried this with stoning, but I'd have to rewatch. She quit Channel 4 a while back, works mostly for BBC Radio 4 now AFAIK.
