Editorial Reviews
Review
‘The Islamist is a wake-up call for Britain.’
--The Guardian
‘All who glibly generalise about the no-man’s-land between terrorism and multi-culturalism should read this articulate and impassioned book.’
--The Times
‘The Islamist should be prescribed like medicine. Whatever your prejudices, it will eat into them like acid.’
--Daily Telegraph
‘The Islamist could not be more timely.’
--Observer
‘The Islamist is first and foremost a riveting personal narrative, but it also carries a powerful…message.’
--Literary Review
‘Ed Husain deserves enormous credit…It is an extraordinarily well written memoir.’
--Mail on Sunday
‘Unique… A call to ordinary Muslims to reclaim their faith’
--Asian Leader
‘Courageous memoir’
--Evening Standard
‘Ed Husain is the man we were all looking for after the 7/7 bombings…Not to help police with their investigations…but to help a stunned nation understand.’
--Weekend Australian
‘Husain has written a persuasive and stimulating book’
--Martin Amis
Product Description
When I was sixteen I became an Islamic fundamentalist. Five years later, after much emotional turmoil, I rejected fundamentalist teachings and returned to normal life and my family. I tried to put my experiences behind me, but as the events of 7/7 unfolded it became clear to me that Islamist groups pose a threat to this country that we — Muslims and non-Muslims alike — do not yet understand.
This is the first time an ex-member openly discusses life within radical Islamic organisations. This is my story.
Back when the book was launched in the UK, news of the publicity storm The Islamist made even the front page of the International Herald Tribune:
‘The Islamist…has caused a ruckus in the newspapers, on television, on talk shows and in blogs.’
The Islamist has received wide and various acclaim from both the political right and left; film rights are being sought and there is still a great buzz around this important and timely book.
