Quiz a Muslim first ran in Bedford on the night of the Paris terror attacks in front of a packed crowd of 240 people – around 30 of whom were non-Muslim.



It featured panellists including former University of Wolverhampton student Moazzam Begg, who was held at Guantanamo Bay for nearly three years before being released without charge.



Among the topics debated were ISIS, Sharia law, the forming of an Islamic state, arranged marriages, homosexuality within Islam and female genital mutilation.



Now organisers have told the Express & Star they are searching for a suitable venue in Birmingham to host a similar event in December. A future date in the Black Country is also a possibility as part of plans to take the show around the country.



Dilly Hussain, deputy editor of Muslim news site 5Pillars and event organiser, said: “The West Midlands is definitely our next destination and we are looking to put a panel together in Birmingham next month.



“We want to take it to the main cities first. After that Wolverhampton, Walsall, Tipton, other places with Muslim communities. We will only go where we are invited.”



Mr Hussain said Mr Begg, who was charged with seven terrorism-related offences last year before the CPS dropped the case, was likely to feature on the panel.



He is also planning to invite head of Birmingham Stop the War Coalition Salma Yaqoob and Perry Barr MP Khalid Mahmood, who has spoken out over the threat of radicalisation.



The Bedford event was shrouded in controversy and featured Mr Begg reportedly rejecting the concept of British values and referring to the Prime Minister as ‘an extremist’.



He said David Cameron has transcended principals of British values by hosting world leaders who are renowned for human rights abuses.
