The Oxford Union has invited far-right activist Tommy Robinson to debate the motion 'This House believes the West is right to be suspicious of Islam.' The invitation by the union's Palestinian Muslim president, Arwa Elrayess, has triggered protests and condemnation from political and religious figures who cite Robinson's criminal history and inflammatory rhetoric against Muslims. Elrayess defends the debate as an exercise in free speech and scrutiny, arguing it does not confer legitimacy on Robinson's views.
