Sympathy for Jihadis
More Or Less checks out a claim about sympathy among Muslims for Jihadis, ѿý Trending reports on a popular hashtag #ExMuslimBecause and the Why Factor asks why we wear suits.
In More Or Less, Ruth Alexander investigates a claim in a front page article in a popular British newspaper that one in five British Muslims have sympathy for jihadis. Is it, in fact, correct or misleading?
ѿý Trending reports on a popular hashtag #ExMuslimBecause used by thousands to explain online why they left Islam, but criticised by others as “hateful” and ill- timed. And, we hear about the outcry on Russian social media, calling on citizens not to holiday in Turkey following the shooting down of a Russian plane. But was it started by ordinary Russian citizens, or led by pro-Kremlin accounts?
And in the Why Factor, Mike Williams looks at a style of dress that’s spread around the world and survived, largely unchanged, for the three centuries – the suit.
