Islam, the left and the West | Lionel Shriver, Brendan O’Neill & Fiyaz Mughal | spiked summit

Since October 7, an unholy marriage appears to have been consummated – between Islamic sectarians and 'anti-imperialist' leftists, united in their contempt for Israel and apologism for the West's Islamist enemies. With anti-Semitic slogans being chanted and Islamic Republic of Iran flags being flown on the streets of Western capitals, how did we get here? Why have progressives thrown in their lot with the world's most barbaric movements? And how can we begin to fight back? Discussing all this and more at the inaugural spiked summit were Lionel Shriver, Fiyaz Mughal and Brendan O’Neill, chaired by Tom Slater.
