Summary

As the scale of the grooming gangs scandal in the United Kingdom begins to dawn on the rest of the world, there is a gravely large amount of blame to be shared about. It’s a well-known fact that this type of abuse has been committed by various demographic groups, but the clearly racialised nature of the gangs in places like Rotherham is being weaponized by those who hope to stir up social tensions. Covering this evolving story further, Piers Morgan brings Sunday Times columnist Matthew Syed into the studio, who reacts to Piers' interviews with Editor-in-chief and CEO of Zeteo News Mehdi Hasan and Visiting Professor and Global Ambassador at Northwood University Gad Saad. All have a lot to say on the grooming scandal, the assimilation of immigrants to the west and criticising Islam. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:00.0	Look at Elon Musk. He's now posting about Islamophobia being fiction. This guy who once pretended to be a liberal has gone full, hard, far right. How many white men involved in this rape gang scandal in these... Hang on. Hang on. Just for the record. Oh my God. In 2023 in Glasgow. Hello. There were seven years of Charles Sexcrows' prosecutor. We don't have the percentages. That's the whole point. What you're doing is you're massively distorting. I'm finished saying one man. You're massively distorting the story, aren't you? No, you are. Sometimes Elon might be very blunt in the way he says what he says, but the content of what he's saying really is coming from a good place, right? The vast majority of Muslims are peaceful.
0:38.6	That's not true.
0:39.5	Well, is it not true?
0:41.7	Does Islam contain endless edicts that are profoundly problematic to the Qafar?
0:49.0	The answer is a resounding yes.
0:51.1	Does the Bible do that?
0:55.9	Well, the UK's rape gang scandal has now become a global scandal, which it always
1:00.0	ought to have been.
1:01.2	Elon Musk has amplified very grim details of a truly horrifying case and a horrifying cover-up
1:07.1	to millions of new people.
1:08.5	And whether you agree with him or not, or his methods,
1:11.1	or his rhetoric, there's no denying that he's raised some very difficult questions,
1:15.5	which are now being properly asked. And there are questions too about Elon Musk. There are
1:20.1	questions about Tommy Robinson. There are questions about Islam and about Islamophobia. Does it
1:24.8	even exist? I'm going to tackle these questions with three influential
1:28.1	and opinionated people with profoundly different insights. Medea Saan, the CEO of Zateo News,
1:33.9	Professor Gadzad, author of The Parasid, and Matthew Saeed, who's the author of Rebel Ideas and a
1:39.3	Times columnist. So Matthew, great to have you with me. I'm going to keep you sitting there,
1:46.4	listening to both of these, almost like you're going to hear the two views and get your reaction
1:52.0	to what Medi has to say and then to what Gad has to say. Because I kind of think that you and I
1:56.6	are probably somewhere in the same place in the middle here. It'd be interesting when you hear a very determined one side view
2:04.1	what your take is on that.
