Adam Deen

Adam became disillusioned with his extremist beliefs and began a journey away from Islamist extremism.

Adam now dedicates his work to countering extremism and the Islamist ideology he once subscribed to, which he believes tarnishes the beauty of the Islam. Adam’s past experiences add tremendous value to our outreach work.

In 2012, Adam founded the Deen Institute, which teaches Muslims critical thinking skills and increases awareness of Islam’s rich intellectual heritage. He has spoken at over 40 university campuses across the UK and has debated with prominent academics on issues surrounding religious philosophy and theology.

He frequently appears on mainstream TV including the BBC and has debated at the Oxford Union debates.
