The world saw a rise in extremism and violence in the last few decades. This rise has been particularly dramatic in the Muslim world where it manifested itself in the shape of a new ideology and which is now threatening national and regional peace. What is this ideology and how do you reconcile this ideology with Islam, a word that literally means peace? Where did it come from? Extremism or violence: which one is a bigger problem? And finally, is there any solution to this problem? This presentation will try to answer some of these questions.
About the speaker:

Shahzeb has also served the Pakistani government in other various leadership capacities. His area of focus is public policy and wishes to explore the realm of policymaking more in depth, especially areas such as change management and international development.
