Hardtalk speaks to the British Muslim campaigner Moazzam Begg. He
was detained at Guantanamo Bay between 2003 and 2005, and then
last February he was held for seven months in a British prison.
In October all terrorism-related charges against him were dropped
and he walked free. He believes that current counter-terrorism
measures are fuelling the very problems they are trying to tackle
and are alienating and radicalising some Muslims. So how should
Muslim communities work with the authorities to prevent the
extremists carrying out attacks?
