Born and raised in Essex, Maajid Nawaz was recruited into
politicised Islam as a teenager. Abandoning his love of hip hop
music, graffiti and girls, he was recruited into Hizb ut-Tahrir
(the Liberation Party) where he played a leading and international
role in the shaping and dissemination of an aggressive anti-West
narrative. While studying for his Arabic and law degree, he
travelled around the UK and to Denmark and Pakistan, setting up new
cells. Arriving in Egypt the day before 9/11 his views soon led to
his arrest, imprisonment and mental torture, before being thrown
into solitary confinement in a Cairo jail reserved for political
prisoners. There, while mixing with everyone from the assassins of
Egypt's president to Liberal reformists, he underwent an
intellectual transformation and on his release after four years, he
publically renounced the Islamist ideology that had defined his
life. This move would cost him his marriage, his family and his
friends as well as his own personal security. Six years after his
release, Maajid now works all over the world to counter Islamism
and to promote democratic ideals through his organisation, The
Quilliam Foundation, which he co-founded with former Islamist and
bestselling author Ed Husain. Following in the wake of the
extraordinary democratic change in the Arab world, that few would
have foretold, Radical is Maajid's intensely personal account of
life inside and out of Islamic extremism. It also highlights one
man's quest to inspire change and challenge extremism in all its
forms. This is a hard-hitting memoir of one man's journey into and
out of Islamic extremism.
