The Middle East Forum cordially invites you to this week's podcasts. | Islamism in Britain with Dominic Green |

Islamist ideologies have taken deep root, disrupting communities and igniting fierce political debate. Their political influence and impact are advancing at every level of society. Bold action is urgently needed and drastic steps must be taken if disaster is to be avoided and this threat turned back. How has Islamism reshaped British society? Can its spread be halted? What must be done to restore unity, security, and social cohesion? | Monday, April 7, 2025 1:00PM Eastern Time | Dominic Green is a historian and columnist.
