Are you worried that war could break out between India and Pakistan? Qasa is asking this after Pakistan says it has shot down two Indian jets in retaliation to Indian military airstrikes in Pakistani territory. After that Asian Networks Mobeen Azhar talks to Qasa about his new documentary The Satanic Verses: 30 Years On. It looks the lasting effect that Salman Rushdie’s book had on the Muslim community and how the events of 1989 continue to have an impact today. Then we hear from Shaukat Warraich from Faith Associates about their ‘Beacon Mosque’ initiative. Its aim is to help raise standards at mosques and Islamic centres by praising their positive contribution to the community. And then it’s time for our feature ‘What’s God got to do with it?’ where our panel of guests will also look at how to raise standards at other places of worship.
