Yesterday evening we went to the Ismaeli Centre in London for an event organised by a friend, and got a fascinating short insight into this intruiging strand of Islam. Many interesting people including Pauline Neville-Jones and Sayeeda Warsi. The President of the Ismaeli Society gave a very interesting talk including the striking phrase (attributed to the Aga Kahn) that we are not dealing with “a clash of civilisations” but “a clash of ignorances”.
