Coming up on Thursday 10th December 2009, Muslim Debate Initiative (MDI) presents an exclusive debate titled The Islamification of Britain: reality or myth? in Central London.

The Muslim public debate organisation is delighted to announce its public invitation to members of the Far-right to an open debate about Islam, the Muslim community in England/Europe and the impact of immigration. The event is aimed at creating engagement between communities by use of open, civilised and frank discussion and debate. The event promises to be a passionate, yet respectful, live debate on some of the most controversial issues dominating the media and the public mind.

I have always been in favour of rational debate in order to defeat even the most evil of ideologies and it is great to see MDI, a Muslim organisation, openly willing to challenge the Far-right groups on the discussion table. Make sure you attend and pass on this invite to your friends.
