The British Humanist Association, the Muslim Institute, and Conway Hall present a special dialogue event featuring BHA President Jim Al-Khalili and Muslim Institute chair Ziauddin Sardar in conversation. Back to the Enlightenment?

In Jim Al-Khalili's final public appearance in his term as President of the British Humanist Association, he enters conversation with Ziauddin Sardar, Chair of the Muslim Institute.

This event is a unique opportunity which brings together two important figures with humanist and Islamic perspectives on the modern world. How do these differ, and are these views misconceived?
