Hizb ut Tahrir Britain to participate in ICA debate HTB National Events

Friday, 08 February 2008

Hizb ut Tahrir Britain’s senior member Akmal Asghar will participate in a debate at the Institute of Contemporary Arts with Faisal Devji, one of the world’s most acclaimed theorists of militant Islam, and Yahya Birt, a writer and commentator on Islam.

Faisal Devji is associate professor of history at The New School for Social Research in New York and author of Landscapes of the Jihad. Mr Devji believes that a close reading of alleged 9/11 conspirator Khalid Sheikh Mohamed’s hearing transcript while in captivity in Guantanamo Bay bears comparison with Gandhi’s famous trial for sedition in 1922.


According to Devji, both the modern Islamic militants and the mahatma rely upon the caliphate to re-imagine the world, and a comparison of their ideas can teach us a great deal.

Chair: Roger Hardy, Middle East and Islamic affairs analyst, BBC World Service.

£10 / £9 Concessions / £8 ICA Members.
