Renouncing Islamism: To the brink and back again
This is one of the more profound investigations of London jihadis and ex-jihadis who are evolving in very modern directions. The relationship of European racism to the jihadi phenomenon, as well as the hard realities created by corrupted jihadi behavior in the Middle East are also analyzed. All in all, it shows a dynamic universe that is dramatically changing, and that demands much more creative and emphathetic responses from non-Muslims.
An excerpt from the Johann Hari article “Renouncing Islamism: To the brink and back again,” first published in at The Independent:
