Among other publications, he is the editor of the book British Secularism and Religion: Islam, Society and the State. Over the last 20 years he has advised government departments, provided policy consulting and training around issues of integration, identity and counter-extremism and has been a frequent analyst and commentator on British Muslim affairs.[1]
