There
is a good point to that (Islam being in the centre of world attention)
because people are now asking questions, and the community gets a
chance to explain to them what Islam is, and what Islam is not. As
the Chinese saying goes, every threat also brings with it an opportunity,
so I see it in this particular situation that we have this problem
and opportunity to explain and for both sides to work closely together.
