Shadee Elmasry – Islam in Europe

It's now the year 21100. Now nobody knows

the future, but we could forecast.

Is there a significant mass of native British

Muslims

such as yourself? Yeah. I I think, Islam

will be the only monotheistic

presence left in Europe.

By that, I mean, out of all the

Abrahamic faiths, Christianity,

Judaism, obviously, which is a tiny, tiny faith

anyway, these are all in radical

terminal decline in the west. I say that

with no happiness. We want some counterpoint to,

militant liberal secularism,

but Islam will be left on its own,

I think, to bear witness to Tawhid,

to the prophets, to Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Mohammed,

peace be upon them all, an uncompromised, undiluted

faith. And it would be the only one

left. It would be, I think, the inevitable

go to religion when people want a tradition

which is rooted in the prophets, rooted in

history, rooted in revelation. I think the prospect

of Islam in in Europe is very, very

promising, actually.
