Book tickets or watch again until 31 October here
Why are Muslim men portrayed as inherently violent? Does the veil violate women’s rights? Is Islam stopping Muslims from integrating? In The Muslim Problem, Tawseef Khan challenges stereotypes from both inside and outside the faith and shows that while we may think we know all about Islam, we are often wrong about even the most basic facts.
For this roundtable discussion Tawseef Khan has curated a group of thinkers and writers, to talk about some of the issues raised in his book. Leyla Jagiella is the author of the forthcoming Among the Eunuchs: A Muslim Transgender Journey; Miqdaad Versi is director for media monitoring at the Muslim Council of Britain; Yousra Samir Imran is the author of semi-autobiographical YA novel Hijab and Red Lipstick which is based on her experiences living under the guardianship system in the Gulf, and a freelance journalist with bylines including The New Arab, gal-dem, Cosmopolitan, Stylist, Elle and Harper’s Bazaar.
Tawseef Khan is a qualified solicitor, specialising in immigration and asylum law and a human rights activist. He was the recipient of a Northern Writers Award in 2017 and lives in Manchester.
