This is how to deal with people who blame Muslims for Charlie Hebdo attacks

This exchange between LBC radio presenter James OBrien and a caller to his show is a masterclass in how to deal with people blaming Islam for the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris.</p>

In the heated exchange between the pair, the caller begins by controversially stating that he believes that an apology is needed by all of Islam, despite previously stating an apparent awareness that the attacks were only committed by a minority.

OBrien then replies by asking the caller if he had apologised for the attacks, prompting the caller to reply Why would I need to apologise for that.

Its at this point that OBrien really begins to make the caller look a bit silly, and replies by stating that a previous Muslim caller would have no need to apologise either, as the attack occurred when he was in Berkshire and was not committed in the name of Islam.

OBrien continues to question the man, called Richard, by saying that the failed shoe bomb attack of 2001 was committed by a man called Richard Reid, and by the callers logic, he should consequently apologise for atrocities committed in the name of all Richards, irrespective of being entirely different people.

Although the caller is pretty much beyond the point of rescuing his argument, he attempts to justify his claims once more, before OBrien simply says Youre allowed to admit youve made a mistake my friend.

Owned.
