Douglas Murray (author)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Douglas Murray, born 1979, is a British neo-conservative freelance journalist and political writer from Lewis, Scotland. He is currently the Director of the Centre for Social Cohesion, a think-tank launched by Civitas.

Schooled at St. Benedict's, Ealing and Eton College, Murray went on to read English at Magdalen College, Oxford, and soon after graduating, became the youngest ever published biographer in history with his biography of Lord Alfred Douglas.

Murray has written articles for the Guardian and the Sunday Times. His controversial book, Neoconservatism: Why We Need It, has received critical acclaim.[citation needed] He has been dubbed as "the right's answer to Michael Moore" by Andrew Roberts.[1]

His comments about Islamic extremism in Holland[2] mean that he has to have a police guard when travelling there.[3]

He is regularly invited on to the BBC, on political programs such as Question Time, The Daily Politics, and Hard Talk.
