This is funny, because if you read the article, you find that he specifically talks about increasing the small number of
women on the TfL board, an idea which radical muslims would actually have a problem with. He does mention ethnic minorities, but the overwhelming accent is on gender equality.
Now don't get me wrong, I think that's a poor argument because I believe the best person for the job should be chosen, regardless of gender. However I can certainly appreciate the irony that here we have a muslim that is actually standing up for women's rights - in direct opposition to the ideology of extreme muslims, which is to repress women in society.
Something to think about...
