dbo:abstract
  • Shakeel Begg is a prominent British Muslim, notable for losing a court case in which he challenged the BBC's description of him as an extremist. He has been imam of the Lewisham Islamic Centre in London since 1998. He has played a role in the British Muslim community, has been invited to speak at mosques and Islamic events, and has been a spokesman for the Muslim community at events and in press releases. Begg was instrumental in attempting to secure the release by ISIS of British hostage Alan Henning. He lost a court case on 28 October 2016 in which he sued the BBC for libel for calling him an extremist. The ruling was notable for the level of the court, the prominence of the defendant, the fact that a representative of the British Muslim community was the plaintiff and its probable precedence for future cases.
