(Brussels Signal) An Arab activist who campaigns for better relations between the Arab world and Israel has warned that Europe is badly handling radical Islam.
Speaking at a meeting organised by the European Jewish Congress in Brussels today, Loay Alshareef said that in terms of education, great [progress] had been made in the Arab world. He added, though, that he was worried about what is happening across Europe as far as religious intolerance and anti-Semitism are concerned.
According to the Egyptian-born activist, Islam as a religion struggles with interpretations of holy texts, with many voices pushing for literal and eternal interpretations, whereas there has been room for nuance in the past.
