An Eloquent Muslim Advocates a movement for Democracy

Maajid Nawaz, a muslim perhaps of Pakistan origins but from Essex in England, who has a history of working to build up terrorist movements from the grassroot levels evidently has had a change of heart spurred on by his arrest in Egypt and also by being banned from entering three other countries. He talks very eloquently in this Ted Talk of why fundamentalists seem to be more successful in using modern technologies to build up their organisations than people who seem to be genuinely interested in liberal democratic ideas. One of the main problems is that radicals are more motivated and liberals are rather complacent. The ideas he puts across in this Ted Talk are very appealing. I earnestly seek readers to switch on their speakers and listen to this talk.
