I heard Maajid wrote a book that I am going to buy. Keep up you ultra courageous and intelligent work Maajid I can't praise you enough for your level of those 2 qualities. Normally I have a rule than none of my money goes into the Muslim community the same as how they don't put money into the non Muslim community whenever possible but for you I will definitely make an exception and also after reading your book I think there is a very good chance I will encourage others to do the same
Who said anything about me being a Muslim. I have Muslim friends who I've grown up with and I can tell you he doesn't speak for most. Like all religions/groups/ organisations there are arseholes in every one
Aaron Typhoon its hard to say since theres a lot of Muslim countries but we have to realise that where Islam is extreme, in the middle east mainly only consists of 20% of Muslims its hard to demonstrate just how vast Islam is across the globe
Ibraheem Mughul Okay, I am including countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran, Saudi Arabia, increasingly Egypt, not sure about Malaysia and Indonesia. And in many countries you risk your life for speaking even if the country is generally open to critical speech. Nutjobs with AKs and machetes. I find this very worrying.
What a fantastic reality he has presented. The reality that the American dream is not perfect because we have not been a capitalist nation for sometime, since Abraham Lincoln, please ask me why.
Yes the ideology is separate from the manifestation and yes that's why I'm interested in Islam without being Muslim. But I can't ignore the fact that the American dream is used as a tool to fuel consumerism which has gone too far. The economy has been rinsed dry and now we're printing money and living on borrowed time. We could learn a lot about social values from Islam and other sources. At some point we have to stop relying on credit cards and litigation and start helping each other out.
"Quilliam is funded by both private and public funds. Our ideas, projects, and output are all made possible by the support of private individual donations, private philanthropic foundations and trust grants, as well as public sector grants." Source [quilliam website] turns out you lied
This guy is not qualified to give an opinion even in a mens hair solon let alone Oxford union, but why is he? simple like a member of british parliament said when ever you need a "muslim" supporter Maajid Nawaz is always there, reason why they gave the Quilliam foundation hundreds of millions of pounds. its his meal ticket to talk about islam and thats why he mentions radicalism and islam every chance he gets even though it is not the topic..
***** I wish you could point out where I wrote that it gave birth to Genocide...What I'm saying is that it uses "God" To justify it and that's the Problem. And because you seem not to know about it, simply consult the Bible: For instance in Deuteronomy 20:16-18 " However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them-the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites-as the Lord your God has commanded you" We are talking Millions of people including women, Children, animals. All these massive "holy" crimes come from Judaism. I believe that All Religions also contains good doctrines otherwise I wouldn't have Friends and partners from different religions and beliefs today. But this idea of "Chosen People and promise land" is the one that really need to be reformed because it encourages to kill in the name of God and we can still see the devastating results of that Ideology in Palestine Today.
***** I admire your distance from bigotry and feel some sincerity in your speech that said, as moral individuals, we shouldn't support our governments in any Geopolitical or Religious oriented aggressions on any population in this modern world. Also allow me to make that parallel with the Torah scriptures in which God Command Israel to destroy all its neighbors because today Benjamin Netanyahu urges us to bomb all Arab countries... Today I see Islamists like Japanese Kamikazes bombing themselves on US Vessels during WWII (Full of desperation) and the radicalization of the new generation of Arab Muslims that grew up under our bombs will intensify as we continue to demonize them ...So I wouldn't be so simplistic to put it all on Islam like we tend to do today...
+A Raihan You should apologise for your poor spelling of the word 'Philosophy'... its not spelt "phelosophy, as you put. I guess you must be a Muslim then?
'I've always considered myself a radical'. Well there you have it - and his claims of ever increasing victimhood and a related construction of authenticity become more outrageous. Nawaz has one God - and one God alone - money. And he'll change and turn over the next few years in order to pursue Mammon.
+Mahmudur Rahman Guessed you missed all the parts about the importance of secularism and free speech, what universal liberal values actually mean, the misery of minorities within minorities, the correct identification of the islamism idealogy, the different groups and methods of jihadist and islamist extremism, etc... Maybe that's alll blah blah to your brain who doesn't comprehend any of it.
I recall that we quit caring what the UK thought in 1776. We decided not to care that England didn’t want us to exist and we proved it with the blood of our grandfathers. 🇺🇸
+A Raihan You talk absolute crap, Nawaz is more a true Muslim than you maybe or anyone that claims to be. He is the true Muslim that all other Muslims should follow. His example is great indeed.
I don't understand how Muslims can hate this guy. Either it's because (1) he is exposing a problem they don't want to talk about, or (2) they don't agree the problem exists, or (3) he is subverting a Theocratic agenda they support. Which is it? Not answering this question is starting to make the Secular world a little jumpy.
WHAT A BRILLIANT SPEECH!This is why I support the American dream!My sentiments exactly Maajid! Saalam Alikhum from Sheffield UK
We have countered that so the shades could be worn 😂
Call in the butler's 😂
Fantastic man, the world would be a better place if more people had the bravery, eloquence and intelligence of Maajid Nawaz.
LMAO
Amazing! Maajid Nawaz propounded the best points on the pro American Dream side
he s talking logic
He's amazing.
I heard Maajid wrote a book that I am going to buy. Keep up you ultra courageous and intelligent work Maajid I can't praise you enough for your level of those 2 qualities.

This guy is a hero. He is a Muslim challenging the worst of his religion. Something he could not do in most of the Muslim countries in the world.
Who said anything about me being a Muslim. I have Muslim friends who I've grown up with and I can tell you he doesn't speak for most. Like all religions/groups/ organisations there are arseholes in every one
Actually its not most Muslim countries, get your facts right
Ibraheem Mughul I reckon it is at least 50% of Islamic countries.
Aaron Typhoon its hard to say since theres a lot of Muslim countries but we have to realise that where Islam is extreme, in the middle east mainly only consists of 20% of Muslims its hard to demonstrate just how vast Islam is across the globe

A brave man. You have my respect.
Maajid’s dream just manifested
Maajid cleans up nice lol
Alongside Maajid's well thought out, eloquent, and articulate way of speaking, the feller sure knows how to dress.
Maajid has got balls. What a guy
Watch the video where he destroys Choudry
+David Venegas Clam
why can't choudary be deported?
Shivam Rai
Because unfortunately he was born in the UK.
shouldnt matter
Absolutely incredible commentary, Nawaz for Prime Minister!
Damn that would be amazing for the country, Islam as well as the whole world.
Maajid Nawaz is Awesome, great speech.
Fantastic speech.
wow!
Maajid Nawaz another Oscar winning performance from another true preforming TAQIYYA ARTIST BRAVO BRAVO !
Bony sorsbin How can it be TAQIYYA if Muslims despise him?
An accomplishment in debate and patriotism.
If you want American dream .hold on to it and go to sleep.that's. the American dream.
What a fantastic reality he has presented. The reality that the American dream is not perfect because we have not been a capitalist nation for sometime, since Abraham Lincoln, please ask me why.
I admire this man a lot
who are those sitting on theaters' three chairs?
every soul has a price... hes wasnt much of an ask.
+Shez Shahid The souls Muhammad took as sex slaves were for free! Great man.
If Uncle Tom had a face.
wow
ok.
Slow down the speech and walking just a tad, and he'll be really phenomenal.

Can we put him on the 2024 ballot?
this guy made this same speech regarding pprpromotion of british values..HOW BORING -_-
Maajid insults muslims and christians but he will not dare insult jews I wonder why!???????
Because the jews will call him anti semite and have him arrested since they control everything in todays world.
***** The Invention of Abrahamic cult that gave birth to all Monotheist Religions and the idea of killing entire populations by God's command.

You don't know what you are talking about.
He is Hippocrates
"I wish I was a woman" -Maajid Nawaz
Such a stark contrast from two faced Muslim intellectuals like Mehdi Hasan. May your tribe increase Maajid!!!
He should apology for his phelosophy
+A Raihan LOSER!
+A Raihan You should apologise for your poor spelling of the word 'Philosophy'... its not spelt "phelosophy, as you put. I guess you must be a Muslim then?
+A Raihan you have some serious grammar issues
sellout

Inferiority Complex of a coconut.
The unthinking rant of a zealot.
Content of all of Maajid Nawaz's speeches:
80% How much of an idiot I used to be
10% How much of an idiot I'm willing to be
10% blah blah blah
+Mahmudur Rahman Guessed you missed all the parts about the importance of secularism and free speech, what universal liberal values actually mean, the misery of minorities within minorities, the correct identification of the islamism idealogy, the different groups and methods of jihadist and islamist extremism, etc...

I find it funny that maajid’s detractors only seem to respond to him with nonsensical insults and/or blatant lies about him. It’s pathetic.
Maajid Nawaz is a great man.
It's called "The American Dream" because you have to be asleep to believe it.
I recall that we quit caring what the UK thought in 1776. We decided not to care that England didn’t want us to exist and we proved it with the blood of our grandfathers. 🇺🇸
*With the help of the French
❤❤❤❤❤
How come the results of these aren't always included in the description? Hopefully that will change.
Which side won?
"us or them", how very modern of you.
Reminds me of a Dyson vacum ....... bounty
uncle tom #1 maajid Nawaz, fake muslim
He is not a true muslim_Actually he is just paid by the organization to contain a muslim name only_
A Raihan Perhaps that's why he sounds so rational and moderate.
+A Raihan You talk absolute crap, Nawaz is more a true Muslim than you maybe or anyone that claims to be. He is the true Muslim that all other Muslims should follow. His example is great indeed.
Dude Religion is upto interpretation.
maybe you are the fake muslim
I don't understand how Muslims can hate this guy. Either it's because (1) he is exposing a problem they don't want to talk about, or (2) they don't agree the problem exists, or (3) he is subverting a Theocratic agenda they support. Which is it?
