Muslim at Synod

A Muslim leader spoke at the Church of England’s General Synod in mid-November in what is believed to be the first time that a non-Christian has addressed the Church’s ruling body.

Fuad Nahdi, Executive Director of ‘Radical Middle Way’, joined a panel discussion on violence against religious minorities in Syria and Iraq. Andrea Williams, a member of General Synod, said: ‘This debate was disappointing. Fuad Nahdi began by equating Jesus and Mohammed as prophets, in front of Synod, and sought to portray Islam as a religion of peace, failing to acknowledge that the atrocities in Iraq have Islam at their root’.
