How Do You Become an Islamist?
Maajid Nawaz does not conform to our image of or the profile of a typical radical extremist. Or does he? He studied law, with a specialization in English and Islamic law, grew up in a sheltered middle-class English family, is good-looking, polite, and sensitive. He was magically drawn to Hizb-ut-Tahrir's promises to establish an Islamic state, and launched a career as one of their most engaging Islamist recruiters in Europe. This path abruptly ended in an Egyptian jail a few days after 9/11, where he spent five years in solitary confinement. Today, Maajid advocates for the other side. He is a passionate counter-terrorist who is fighting a different jihad, for the democratic awakening of young Muslims around the world, and directs the Quilliam Foundation, a counter-terrorism think tank in London.
