On October 11, 2010, The Centre for Social Cohesion Director Douglas Murray and Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a former Dutch politician and renowned author, won a major debate in New York organised by Intelligence Squared. They were arguing against the motion that ‘Islam is a religion of peace’. Arguing for the motion were Maajid Nawaz, former member of the extremist group Hizb ut-Tahrir, and Zeba Khan, a writer and advocate for Muslim-American civic engagement.
Today, on Frank Gaffney’s Secure Freedom Radio, Douglas joined Frank to discuss the controversial proposition, its content, and surprising outcome.
