Maajid Nawaz Seminar on Islam, Extremism & Terrorism for Kings College, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience

- A Radical Dispatch

On 1st April 2026 Professor Edgar Jones invited Radical Media’s Maajid Nawaz to address his students at King’s College’s Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience on his life story and his insights into Islam, radicalisaton, extremism and terrorism.

What was Maajid Nawaz’s Seminar About?

In this Seminar Radical Media’s Maajid Nawaz introduced themes related to factors that cause radicalisation, extremism and terrorism through the lens of his life story as a first generation Western-born Muslim in the British, European and then global contexts. The themes covered in this seminar were originally told in Maajid Nawaz’s autobiography Radical, published by Penguin Random House.

In this seminar, Maajid recounted his teenage years facing violent racism growing up in the early 90s at his place of birth in England’s Essex. It spans his time spent at the leadership of the UK branch of then legal - but since proscribed - political Islamist organisation Hizb ut-Tahrir. His journey to Pakistan, Denmark and Egypt recruiting students to this political Islamist organisation, his eventual incarceration in Egypt as an Amnesty International adopted Prisoner of Conscience and his journey towards renouncing his group and founding the world’s first counter-extremism organisation, Quilliam in London.
