YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Abdullah Al Andalusi argues against the motion that 'This House is Proud to be Patriotic'.

Abdullah Al Andalusi, founder of the public discussion forum 'The Muslim Debate', responds to these comments by making a distinction between humanitarianism and patriotism; he claims that whilst there are "no vices" in the former, there are no "no virtues" in the latter. We ought to look after the interests of the whole world, he explains, rather than those of our own country.
