New British Prime Minister: Islam is leaving Muslim countries for centuries back

Boris Johnson has been elected today as the new leader of the Conservative Party, thus reaching out to practically become the country's new prime minister. He has been sharply criticised for saying that Islam has made the Muslim world “to literally remain centuries behind” west, in an essay that came to light by The Guardian.

Writing about the growth of religion in an added appendix for the later edition of Rome's Dream in the 2006 book of the Roman Empire, Johnson says that there is something in Islam that has repented development in parts of the world, translated Periscope in Albanian.

In an essay entitled “and later came Muslims” of 2007, Johnson wrote: “has got to have something about Islam that really helps explain the reason why we didn't have a raise of debt, we didn't have liberal capitalism, and therefore no distribution of democracy in the Muslim world. ”

Something made Muslim countries [isslam] literally remain for centuries behind sunset. ”

The main candidate to take the party leader sees the main problem at “the fatally religious conservism”.

Mohammed Ammen, former head of the Muslim Conservative Forum, has said Johnson's analysis risked “actively promoting hatred for Muslims”. Amin was expelled from the forum in June after having criticised the party leadership's unwillingness to report Islamophobia, and had criticised Johnson's popularity with the rise of Adolf Hitler in the 1930s.

In the same essay, Johnson acknowledged that Christianity had its own history of “exuberance”.

Johnson's great grandfather had been a Muslim Turk, and this he hoped would save him from charges of Islamophobia. /Periscope
