THE ISLAMIST

ED HUSAIN

The Islamist: Why I Joined Radical Islam in Britain, What I Saw Inside and Why I Left is a 2007 book about Ed Husain's five years as an Islamist. The book has been described as "as much a memoir of personal struggle and inner growth as it is a report on a new type of extremism."

i wish this was mandatory reading for all. husain’s explanation of how he fell into the trap of radical islam is heartbreaking in its humanity. we often have terrorists depicted as something otherworldly, or people devoid of thought or feeling, but this novel reminds us that this simply isn’t the case. it’s a complete eye opener in how people can be cleverly manipulated via ideology and how complex transitioning from teen to terrorist can be. required reading in a time where multiculturalism and prejudice are joined at the hip. 5/5 ⭐️ #book #books #bookstagram #ukbookstagram #edhusain #theislamist #radicalisation #extremism #islamist #multiculturalism https://www.instagram.com/p/CLmps3NlTCT/?igshid=hx1an3u7sfeb
