Progressive Scottish Muslims: Islam design tartan unveiled is far from representative. Islam and Muslims are not a monolith..

My view: But is 'Islam' a culture? In the same way that we can talk about our Scottish culture? If so, which Islam?  Which 'Islamic' country does this tartan represent in terms of all the Muslims in diaspora who live in Scotland?   Then this raises the question about whose Islam?  Is this a Shi'a, Sunni, Ahmadi, Alawi 'Islam' tartan?  Muslims are not a monolith and nor is 'Islam' --- this is certainly not a progressive move

Another result of Jinnah's fateful destruction of India for the sake of identity politics; In Great Britain, where many Pakistanis has sought refuge from Jinnah's experiment, Muslims have ceased belonging to a religious tradition as much as belonging to a nationalistic cult devoid of morality and ethics, with the expressed purpose of just feeling important. I expect more things like this in the coming century.
