On Friday 25 March, Bill Shepard will talk to us about Islam. He writes: “I will explain what I (and others) see to be the basic problem for Muslims in modern times and outline four kinds of responses to it, one of which includes the current “jihadis”. I will try to allow plenty of time for questions and discussion.”
