#Quilliam styled itself as a "think-tank" but served to only amplify & promote pseudo-science such as CVE & anti-Muslim conspiracy theories. It received millions from right-wing groups & worked with the state to criminalize Muslim communities

Quilliam was established in 2007 & supported the U.K. govt’s discriminatory #Prevent strategy. Prevent has been criticized by govt officials, human rights experts, academics, teachers, & community organizers for securitizing & criminalizing Muslims.

Quilliam has “long argued for a tougher line on non-violent extremism.” In 2015, Quilliam’s Managing Director Haras Rafiq, criticized the Prevent strategy for not doing enough.

Eight minutes was all it took to expose the sheer hypocrisy of #MaajidNawaz. Beware cunningly crafted rhetoric of the #RegressiveLiberal masquerading as a moderate, while using extremist 'control debate & block dissent' tactics to further an overtly rightwing agenda. We see you. 
You do not need to listen long to #MaajidNawaz's @LBC show to discern his tactics: use of sophistry and belligerent questioning of anyone who dares to disagree with him. Derail any opposition with his 'answer the question I put to you' tactic on the radio, and block on Twitter.
#MaajidNawaz clearly uses rhetorical techniques honed during his days as an Islamist extremist to shut down any dissent - cleverly controling @LBC debate with his 'answer my question or cut off' favorite, or preventing any questioning on Twitter by insta-blocking any dissenters
