Ibrahim was asked about his opinion regarding said backlash during an interview on February 11, 2007 by Alan Johnson.Johnson asked Ibrahim why he believes his home was raided and he was arrested on June 30, 2000. “Point of departure” here refers to his departure from what were considered to be his steadfast beliefs and views on politics. “A man asked to come to my home, what was I supposed to do? Turn him away and say, ‘Get out of here, you son of a b****’?” asked Ibrahim. This is exactly why he is causing a ruckus, because it seems he is very similar to American political preaching.
