Tuesday 4 July 2006, 4.00pm to 6.00pm

Venue: Committee Room 20, House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA (Access via St Stephen's entrance)

On the first anniversary of the 7/7 bombings, the Foreign Policy Centre will publish "Born in the UK": Young Muslims in Britain, a pamphlet investigating the real lives and opinions of young British Muslims.

To launch the pamphlet, a panel of experts will discuss the changing attitudes of young Muslims towards radical Islam and the "war on terror". Why do Muslims living in the West, and in Britain in particular, feel alienated from society, and what steps can the British government take to re-connect with young Muslims? The seminar will examine the dilemma facing many young people: are they British Muslims or Muslims in Britain? How does this affects their views of a UK foreign policy carried out in their name?

Speakers:

Sadiq Khan MP

Shiv Malik, New Statesman(tbc)

Parvin Ali, Fatima Women's Network

Yasmin Alibhai–Brown, The Independent

Imran Khan, Solicitor and Civil Rights Campaigner (tbc)

Hugh Barnes, The Foreign Policy Centre (Chair)
