In 2009, Murray was prevented from chairing a debate at the London School of Economics between Alan Sked and Hamza Tzortzis, with the university citing security concerns following a week-long student protest against Israel’s attacks on Gaza. The move was criticised by the conservative press such as The Daily Telegraph and The Spectator.

In June 2009, Murray accepted an invitation from the Global Issues Society (GIS) to a debate with Al-Muhajiroun leader, Anjem Choudary , on Sharia law and British law at Conway Hall. Members of Al-Muhajiroun tried to segregate men and women at the entrance of the event, despite GIS’s assurance that the event’s security was provided by a third party. Violence broke out even before Murray arrived. Conway Hall management canceled the debate in protest to the forced separation of men and women. Outside the building, a confrontation between Choudary and Murray over the cancellation of the event occurred. Murray alleged that the event was not neutral and that it was being policed by Al-Muhajiroun guards. Murray’s Center for Social Cohesion, had published a study showing that one in seven Islam-related terrorist cases in the UK could be linked to Al-Muhajiroun and the organization was indeed banned shortly afterwards, due to its links with extremism.
