Hamza Andreas Tzortiz Vs Micheal Nugent

Hamza Andreas Tzortzis is an international public speaker on Islam, a writer and researcher. He has debated prominent intellectuals and academics. Some of his interlocutors include the leading humanist and best selling author Peter Cave, the editor of the Philosophy Now mazagine Rick Lewis and the highly acclaimed Professor Simon Blackburn. More recently Hamza debated one of the leading American atheists and secular activists Dr. Ed Buckner, the president of American Atheists.

Michael Nugent (born 1 June 1961) is an Irish writer and activist. He has written or co-written five books and the comedy musical play I, Keano. He has campaigned on many political issues, and he is chairperson of the advocacy group Atheist Ireland. He argues that atheism provides a better model of reality, and a better basis for morality, than believing in gods; that atheists can enjoy the benefits that many people get from religion, without the harmful effects; and that the state should be secular, promoting neither religion nor atheism. He writes a blog about happiness and atheism, and he supports Bohemians and Leeds United football clubs.

Interestingly one of the first known Irish atheists was a Buddhist monk in Burma at the turn of the twentieth century - a fierce opponent of Christian missionaries on freethinking grounds and as part of the British colonisation of Asia, who republished the works of Thomas Paine and contemporary atheists in Burmese. See the website below for details of a Cork event this weekend on the life and politics of U Dhammaloka.
