David Cameron recently ordered a “review” into the Muslim Brotherhood in Britain, which is to be conducted by the British Ambassador to Saudi Arabia. The review comes at a time when the Muslim Brotherhood, victors in Egypt’s only free election to date, is being subject to the most ferocious repression by the military regime.
This timely seminar asks whether this review represents a threat to British liberties and favours the perpetrators of human rights abuses everywhere. Moreover, is the review the result of pressure placed on the British government by undemocratic regimes abroad? Could our Prime Minister be setting a dangerous precedent by conducting this review?
Join us for a lively discussion and exchange of views.
Speakers: LORD KEN MACDONALD QC

The subject of Halal and Haram, notably meat, and meat products, is of central importance to Muslims with growing focus on ethical aspects of meat production, food safety and cleanliness, and the welfare of animals demanding greater attention. But there is more to the Halal industry than simply meat. The issue of Hala touches many areas of Muslim life. Because the industry is driven by the market realities of supply and demand, better understanding of Islamic principles is vital.
Professor Hashim Kamali will be offering his unique insight and expertise (from Islamic jurisprudence) into this matter whilst sharing the Malaysian Experience.
Date & Time: 23rd September 2013, Doors open at 6.30pm
Venue: Initiatives of Change, 24 Greencoat Place, London, SW1P 1RD. Near Victoria Station (Please click here for a map and directions to the venue)
