Channel 4: Marking the 60th anniversary of the UDHR - featuring Maajid Nawaz

Maajid Nawaz, director of the Quilliam Foundation, talks about how Amnesty International's support for him while he was in prison in Egypt led him to reject and renounce his support for Islamism. This short video was produced in collaboration with Amnesty International to mark the 60th anniversary of the Declaration of Universal Human Rights. The film was made by Native Voice Films for Channel 4 in association with Amnesty International. It was orginally shown by Channel 4 on 11 December 2008.

Both of u spoke in derogatory terms of the general muslim community as "weak" and "secular".

There are a large number of non muslim brits who are also against the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, and there is a way of showing your disapproval the idea to have a "protest" at Wooton Basset, was another relic from the 90's HT theory of "Any publicity is good publicity, any act no matter how notorious if it gets attention its worth it". And these attention seekers were the persons to do it!

sham

Maajid and Anjem I am a figure from your past, as an innocent observer at Westminster university. I saw your activities in the 1990's and what you are.

You people both used to despise the 1950's 1960's generation who came to the UK in peace, built masjids, quietly went about working hard, praying, not causing civil unrest, or promoting terrorism and they tolerated racism on a scale u wouldnt imagine. U people always spoke of them as not being proper muslims doing Daawat.

You can read the mind of the average british person when he saw these two "defenders of islam " sit with paxman. Both were barbarians, shouting, slagging off, refusing to extend basic courtesies, basically there for theyre own satanic desire for attention. With Maajid it was "ME ME ME" he only wanted to discuss his own alleged apostasy. While admitting Anjem had been his solicitor in his "Murder case". what a shambles. Two despicable individuals the last persons capable of showing islam in this

Anjem may be very very misguided in his methods and like Maajid he also was once a fornicator, drug taker and called himself "andy" at least his intentions i beleive are sincere , even tho his ignorant actions are causing a lot of harm for the majority of muslims in this country who disagree with him.

Last nights newsnight discussion was a disgusting display of two ex HT idiots engaging in the most ugly, ignorant, uncivilised display of ME ME ME, Both choudhry and Maajid are a disgrace

[nugentmilicent]

They now pay him to preach anti HT.

Basically anyone associated with HT had the worst possible "role model "in Omar Bakhri, a benefit cheating , fake sheikh, who would do anything to get attention and notoriety. He encouraged the mindless babble and rabble. Anjem choudhry is but the latest "role model" of such organisations.The difference is although choudhry is equally gutless,lazy, hypocritical, uncivilised and savage, in showing none of the beauty of islam, @ least Anjem is at heart a muslim

Please shut up mtariq38 when was Maaajid Nawaz a role model for anything but satanic ego satisfaction, cultism, and being a lazy layabout?

Nothing much has changed, where once Maajid sponged off the feeble student grants and free higher education system of the 1990's to stay a "student" and spread a propoganda he wasnt qualified to spread with the unique HT brand of "ghetto talk", ignorance, lack of patience and humility, these days he is doing the same for the british government

[mtariq38]

Mr Newaz once a upon time you were a true role model for the youth speaking the truth not fearing the blame of the blamer. I sincerely hope your love for the dunya was worth your place in paradise.
