From Fatwa to Jihad: The Rushdie Affair battle of ideas
Description: 2009 was is the twentieth anniversary of the publication of Salman Rushdie's novel, The Satanic Verses, which led to one of the most famous free speech controversies of modern times. Deemed offensive to Muslims because of its portrayal of the prophet Mohammed, the book provoked large demonstrations by British Pakistanis and Bangladeshis, some of who publicly burned copies of the book. The book was banned in India, and in February 1989 the Ayatollah of Iran issued a fatwa calling for Rushdie's head. As a result, The Satanic Verses became a totem of the battle for free expression across the world.
Today, the controversy continues to illuminate not so much a clash of civilisations as fault lines within the West itself. The response to the fatwa first revealed many anxieties familiar in contemporary debates about identity and 'social cohesion'. In particular, the spectre of multiculturalism has haunted the book's wider reception. Many believe that home-grown terrorism is proof that policies designed to quell discontent and minimise social atomisation, have achieved the opposite effects.
The journey from the Ayatollah's fatwa to self-directed jihad waged by a small sect of British Muslims is complex. What does the Rushdie affair really tell us about the origins of radical Islam? And does the West still have an appetite for intellectual freedom?

Mehdi Hasan | Islam Is A Peaceful Religion | Oxford Union
Description: Mehdi Hasan gives his argument for Islam being a peaceful religion.
Hasan asks why, if Islam is "responsible for killing," such a tiny percentage of believers actually participate in violence. He asks the audience if they really believe that 1.6 billion people are all "followers, promoters and believers in a religion of violence".
Hasan urges them not to "fuel the arguments of the phobes and bigots and legitimise hate", but to "trust the Muslims that you know and that you hear."

Muslim questions a Sikh - Dawah Man VS Basics of Sikhi
Description: Basics of Sikhi organised the Urban Turban Sikhi Awareness event in Hounslow. Imran Ibn Mansur Khan (AKA Dawah Man) from Islam Hounslow approached us for a short Q&A. It lasted one hour and was filmed. Note, we were not looking to debate them and neither are we interested in criticising Islam or trying to prove its flaws or even trying to prove Sikhi to them. Therefore, most of the conversation is revolved around the questions by Brother Imran (Dawah Man). We thank him and the Islam Hounslow team for being very civil on the day. As Guruji teaches us, we are all human and should try and get along in spite of our differences, as the greater good lies in recognising our similarities. May Vaheguru/Allah help us all to have compassion in our hearts and to submit our ego to his will and call upon his Name. Vaheguru! Here is a link to Guru Nanak Dev ji's writings on Islam (for a Sikh, this is Gods own view on Islam) http://www.sikhitothemax.com/Page.asp... - lets hope that the Islam Hounslow team may be true Muslims of this type. Vaheguru.
