Fuad Nahdi

This links to coverage of the death of Fuad Nadhi, an influential figure in terms of Muslims in the UK. He instigated Q-News, an important publication for Muslims in the 90s. I still have the back-issues, and it impacted on my own research.

Buzzfeed, A Leading Activist In Britain’s Muslim Community Has Died Of The Coronavirus "Fuad Nahdi, a prominent British Muslim journalist and activist who published an influential Muslim-focused magazine and was a key voice in Britain’s Muslim community, died on March 21 after being infected by what his family later learned was the novel coronavirus, his son said." Q-News was a significant outlet in the 90s for Muslims in the UK, one that I read closely. His death was widely reported. Also hear the section on BBC Radio 4, The Last Word
