Summary
Abdur Raheem Green is a British dawah preacher, and the founder and chairman of iERA, the Islamic Education and Research Academy. He was born Anthony Waclaw Gavin Green in Dar es Salaam in September 1964, to a father who was a colonial administrator in the British Empire and a Polish mother; Wikidata's item for him agrees on the September 1964 birth and also carries a rival 1962 value, which is not followed. 1 2
Dawah and iERA
Raised a Roman Catholic and educated at Ampleforth College, Green embraced Islam in 1988 and became known for dawah at Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park and in televised formal settings. 1 In 2009 he founded iERA in the United Kingdom as a missionary organisation for the propagation of Islam, and he chairs the charity. 3 1
Positions and faith
This section should be read as a presentation of what the sources give, not as a verdict of the museum.
The English article's infobox gives his denomination as Sunni, without a cited source in its text, and its categories file him as a British Sunni Muslim; those are one article's filings. The article's text quotes the academic Innes Bowen describing him as having "remained a Salafi" while becoming a popular speaker across a wide range of organisations, and Wikidata gives his religion only as Islam in the generic value. No two independent sources name a legal school for him, and the movement the academics describe has no value in the museum's faith vocabulary, so no faith value is recorded for him; the question is flagged for the founder. 1 2
