Re: Marr's video, and I think (and I am still working on this...so I may be incorrect in part ...) I think that the overwhelmingly rigidity of the performance of Islam tolerated in the UK, intersecting racism in the UK's Ummah, intersecting the class(ism)/racism in larger British society can produce a set of dynamics that can facilitate the emergence of this subset in the UK Ummah...this tiny subset...that seeks out Intentionally the #Identity of those deemed the #Others and once acquiring that Identity seeks a purification and/or validation and/or sanctification by a certain performance of identity that is valued by a subset of the newly vested identity.

And this a quick and early stages analysis and look at a tiny subset of people.

And I do recgonize it is more complex and this is way too simplistic and not meant to be over-reaching as I define myself as a convert...and yet there is a reason that some would say Muslims are the new Black...that sociological heirarchies/Identity/spaces occupied of #theBlack (particularly from the US) and #theMuslim (post 9/11) share some similarities in the #Political construction of their respective #Identities
