Imam breaks down boxing thinking
National Student Rabbi Yanki Jacobs thinks it is tragic that the imam is denounced by his community. He calls it a good thing when Muslims themselves come to a trade -off, regardless of their group. He notices that many people behind the scenes say something different than they dare to express publicly. ,, Your religious conviction should not determine your political position. We need independent thinkers to break the box thinking. I hope that more people from the Islamic community dare to argue for love and peace instead of hatred. ”
