Subtle shifts are taking place, and supposed enemies are now friends

excerpt…
Optimism surged too when the Aga Khan, the spiritual leader of my Shia community, came into London last weekend. The cadence and beauty of his words uplifted the hearts of the thousands gathered. Islam, he has always proclaimed, should make us peaceful, generous, reach out to others whoever they are, inspire intellectual curiosity and artistic endeavour. Non-Muslim spouses of all backgrounds were welcomed. Ugly stuff does go on in many mosques and Muslim homes, and there is too much self segregation. But that isn’t the only truth about who we are, an impression vindictively projected by sections of the media.
