Opinion piece on 'Newsnight' item

Myriam Francois-Cerrah, huffingtonpost.co.uk, What I Might Have Said If I Had Been on Newsnight... "On Monday evening, Newsnight convened a panel of Muslims to discuss a short film on the topic ‎of "who speaks for Muslims", made by Quilliam Foundation's Maajid Nawaz. The panel included ‎the journalist Mehdi Hasan and the Muslim commentator Mo Ansar and was chaired, (although ‎arguably not much!) by Jeremy Paxman.‎"
