Baroness Cox sits in the British House of Lords as a crossbencher and is a frequent contributor to Lords debates on Sudan, South Sudan, Syria, Nigeria, and Burma. In this 2005 lecture in New York City, she asks: is ideological Islam compatible with liberal democracy? She challenges the audience to build bridges, not walls, and seek reconciliation through realism.
