The more knowledge the better. And I think any person with much insight into even just his or her own religion would never make such an obviously egotistical, self flattering statement at the expense of others.
That sort of talk doesn’t spring from any holiness that I’m aware of…

Hi Paul - in fairness to Norm, I don’t think anyone has ever claimed him as a spiritual authority but the misinfo about Islam has (imo) almost reached the level of disinfo now.
I’ll vote for ‘forgiveness’ btw - the interview was cool!

Tebbit on Islam
It seems that Norman ‘Rottweiller’ Tebbit is once more unleashed and giving us all the benefit of his opinions on Islam. Normally I wouldn’t give him much attention, and all the more so now he is sinking into his dotage but it is worth addressing as his views are a recapitulation of an opinion that has gained common currency and is, imo, a factor that militates towards less understanding rather than more.
