Join Tahir Khalid and Talib Man for Monday's show where we will be discussing: Arms trade/ Media

Arms trade: Exporting to countries under restriction
Recently British ministers approved arms sales to 80% of countries which are under sanctioned restrictions. While thisisn’t illegal it certainly makes astatement. Join us as we discuss the need for peace in a world chasing power through weaponry.

Media: Muslim portrayal in the media
A study published by the Muslim Council of Britain found that most UK news coverage of Muslims is negative and misleading. Negative media coverage against Islam acts as a powerful catalyst in promoting Islamophobia. Join us LIVE from 5pm as we discuss how Muslims are portrayed in the media.

Guests include:

Dana About-Jabine (Director at Campaign Against Arms Trade)

Gervase Philips (Principal Lecturer in History, Manchester Metropolitan University)

Symon Hill (Campaigns Manager of the Peace Pledge Union)

Rabia Saleem (Community Outreach Worker)

Harris Zafar (Speaker and author of Demystifying Islam)

Eman Hani (Project Lead at Central Scotland Regional Equality Council)
