Understanding Muslim minorities today: Tahir Abbas at TEDxFatihUniversity

Tahir Abbas talks about Muslim minority issues in Britain and in Western Europe, and how notions of identity are shaped by immigration history, memory, politics, patterns of racism, integration and assimilation, and the role of policy. He states the importance of Muslims finding the middle path as a way forward, one that balances the best of all intellectual, cultural and spiritual worlds, and to look beyond the horizons to achieve that poise and harmony.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
