Here's part two of our lovely chat with Mossin's ID. If you haven't had part one with many funny things including our chat with Mossin but also many other lovely emails and voice notes, head back to the feed to go and listen to part one.

Now then here's part two.

A lot of men on talks about this a lot who's been on this podcast about there can be an image of Islam as being homophobic but actually a lot of all of that is actually colonial stuff that was put in.

Because I'm not a historian I try not to go too far into the kind of you know where does it come from who's responsible for it. What does that mean for what it looks like today?

Oh thank God because I'll be way out my depth.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

But I recognize things as they stand which is that there are just like in pockets of society in pockets of the Muslim community there is homophobia.

But I think that the problem is that we exist in a world where nuance is missing.

So I think that Muslims are vilified and I do think it's easy to equate faith with certain prejudice and the situation is just in my experience is way more complex than that.

A lot of the people reaching out to me are heterosexual Muslims who are reaching out to say that they love to the book and that they really support what I'm saying.

What could you sort of become a figurehead for a few things as a result of the book and one of them was was is that you know you were the first person from your school to go to Oxford.

Yeah.

A lot of people have got in touch with these saying that's really resonated with them.

Yeah and that's why I said earlier that the book that's why we changed the subtitle because for me it's not just about sexuality and faith it is a book about class and race and just identity and written.

I should say that the fact that I am the first person from my school to go to Oxford is not something that fills me with pride.

It's something that probably once did and now as I reflect upon it as an adult and I look at our society it's shameful.

Like why is it that you get a hundred people from one school in one year who go to Oxford in Cambridge and then from my school in the 20 years after which it was formed there was not one person.

So the fact that I'm the first is something that we should all be ashamed of and it speaks to a much bigger issue when it comes to opportunities particularly in Britain.

You know I think we often we think about America as this really capitalistic society and we look at America we say well at least we're not like that at least we have more balance.

We're not as aggressively capitalistic as America but actually what is more capitalistic than paying for your children to go to the front of every line by giving them a private education.

And America doesn't have private schools the way we do they don't have a kind of a hierarchical education system the way that we do.

So for me class is this thing that I just feel is ignored or it's just definitely not it's definitely not addressed in the way that it should be particularly in Britain.
