In April- May 09 Quilliam Director Maajid Nawaz toured Pakistan. Maajid Nawaz delivered a series of lectures at over 20 public and private universities, addressing over 5,000 students from a variety of backgrounds. Talking of his personal experiences within an Islamist organization and the journey he undertook to eventually recant his ideas, Maajid engaged with these students to discuss the threats from extremism that loom over Pakistan today. The tour was a resounding success, see:
