In prison I had the opportunity to debate and discuss people that had subscribed to all forms of Islamism.

I'm a progressive. What I find is that a subsection within the left that instead of standing for consistency in progressive values, so feminism as applied to mainstream society, as well as within minority communities, gay rights to mainstream society as well as within minority communities.

Ironically, xenophobic nationalists are utilizing the benefits of globalization.

Within our lifetime, we can remember a time when Islamism wasn't the dominant form of discourse or the aim should be to minimise the absolutists within any religious community and contain them.

It's not always the case that Muslims have been theocrats.

When I returned to the United Kingdom, I found that I could no longer justify Islamist extremism as the antidote.

I'm yet to discover any form of theocracy that isn't homophobic, that isn't bigoted to the out group.
