When it comes to thoughtful, intelligent debate no one seems to do it better than the BBC’s “Intelligence Squared” forum. In this topic the motion on the floor is “Islam is a religion of peace.” It’s a powder keg issue and the BBC didn’t pull any punches when they let Zeba Khan and Maajid Nawaz go head to head with Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Douglas Murray (and they debaters certainly didn’t go easy on one another in the debate). If you really want to see all of the key issues of “Islamophobia” brought into one single debate, this is the one you’re going to want to watch.
