Head of the Policy Research Centre based at the Islamic Foundation in Leicestershire, he also worked on the Preventing Extremism Together workgroups set up by the Home Office after the July 7th bombings in London in 2005. A Commissioner to the Commission for Racial Equality, he served on the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Commission on Urban Life and Faith and is a Fellow of the Royal Foundation of St. Katharine’s Contextual Theology Centre. ‘Well qualified’ doesn’t even come close, so draw near and listen carefully.
