In this essay, Maajid Nawaz, chairman of counter-extremism organisation Quilliam, argues that only liberalism can “shine through the fog” of Islamist extremism and must be actively promoted across communities, cultures and borders.
The essay warns that fear of causing offence has too often compelled Western liberals to keep quiet, or self-censor, rather than assert their majority position.
It forms the first in a series of papers addressing contemporary issues in public policy from a liberal perspective.
