Islam and Scotland - are they incompatible?

Humza Yousaf has recently announced that he feels so threatened in Scotland by “Islamophobia” that he might have to emigrate. That means that, in a year and a half as First Minister, Yousaf changed Scotland into a country which is not fit for habitation by Muslims like himself.


His ignorance about Scotland may be profound, but what does Humza Yousaf actually know about ISLAM and its history? His pose of spiritual rectitude has been questioned by Elon Musk. Many others think he is a victim looking for a victimiser – a sort of spiritual masochist. Does he consider his first duty is to himself or to Allah?

These issues are addressed in this article: https://thinkscotland.org/2024/08/does-humza-yousaf-know-his-islamic-history/.

The book under review is fascinating, too! Enjoy…
