Ed Husain: The Islamist: Why I Joined Radical Islam in Britain, What I Saw Inside and Why I Left
Penguin Books Ltd (3 May 2007) | 304 pages | ISBN: 9780141030432 | PDF | 71 MB
A truly outstanding book that works on so many levels, a personal journey, a review of contemporary Islamic life in Britain, a historical reference, an assessment of Islamic politics and many more. Husain's personal journey into extreme Islamic politics is quite frightening simply because it seemed so rapid and easy and also that extremist politics does seem to dominate the thinking of the young Muslims that he mixes with. If the type of thinking that he describes is half as dominant as this book seems to suggest then as a country we have a lot to worry about and more horrors like the attacks on London in 2005 are inevitable.
