Criticism
In June 2012, members of the Muslim community in Trinidad and Tobago, including imams attached to mosques, denounced Ishmael and his TV show "Breaking Barriers" in a letter. They stated that Ishmael had used the TV show to attack ministers and members of Parliament, and other leaders. According to the letter, Ishmael's views were not representative of the Muslim community in the country.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“Unless criticism refuses to take itself quite so seriously or at least to permit its readers not to, it will inevitably continue to reflect the finicky canons of the genteel tradition and the depressing pieties of the Culture Religion of Modernism.”
—Leslie Fiedler (b. 1917)
“Good criticism is very rare and always precious.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art—and, by analogy, our own experience—more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
