This is how to deal with people who blame Muslims for Charlie Hebdo attacks;This exchange between LBC radio presenter James O’Brien and a caller to his show is a masterclass in how to deal with people blaming Islam for the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris.
In the heated exchange between the pair, the caller begins by controversially stating that he believes that an apology is needed by all of Islam, despite previously stating an apparent awareness that the attacks were only committed by a minority.
O’Brien then replies by asking the caller if he had apologised for the attacks, prompting the caller to reply ‘Why would I need to apologise for that’.
It’s at this point that O’Brien really begins to make the caller look a bit silly, and replies by stating that a previous Muslim caller would have no need to apologise either, as the attack occurred when he was in Berkshire and was not committed in the name of Islam.
O’Brien continues to question the man, called Richard, by saying that the failed shoe bomb attack of 2001 was committed by a man called Richard Reid, and by the caller’s logic, he should consequently apologise for atrocities committed in the name of all Richards, irrespective of being entirely different people.
Although the caller is pretty much beyond the point of rescuing his argument, he attempts to justify his claims once more, before O’Brien simply says ‘You’re allowed to admit you’ve made a mistake my friend’.
