European Muslims: facing up to alienation and discrimination in the wake of terror.

Caabu would like to invite you to a panel discussion: European Muslims: facing up to alienation and discrimination in the wake of terror. Journalist Nabila Ramdani and Raffaello Pantucci of RUSI have been confirmed as speakers.
