The Index on Censorship Magazine Big Debate:The New Civility: Are Religious...
Event Information
Description
Does freedom of religion and freedom of speech come as a package or can you pick and choose? Do those people who suggest freedom of expression should be civilised and that we should be wary of causing offence to people's religious sensibilities have a point? Or is the world full of offended people and any idea of holding back ends up with us not being able to talk about important issues?
Our panellists are Rachael Jolley, editor of the Index on Censorship magazine; Anthony Clavane, journalist, author of Promised Land and playwright; Chris Bond, journalist with the Yorkshire Post; Chief Imam Qari Muhammad Asim MBE of Leeds Makkah Masjid;
