I finished reading the Islamist by Ed Husain over the Easter holidays. Ed Husain was born in Britain to a Muslim Bangladeshi family. At the age of sixteen, much to the horror of his parents, he became an Islamic fundamentalist. Five years later, having witnessed the horrors and hypocrisies of political Islam at first hand, he rejected fundamentalist Islam.
His book, the Islamist, is a captivating explanation of why young British Muslims become extremists and how the British politicians and college administrators are party to this disturbing trend.
If it was down to me, I would make his book as part of the school curriculum text books.

This includes my own review of Ed Husain's important book -

Islam stands for Intimidation, Suppression, Lameness, Anger and Mental Illness
Ed Husain can lick my taint.
Why do insist on preoccupying yourself with such parochial literature?

We will ignore your kind — you Islam / araablovers can kill each other till your king mehdi appears.
See 9 year Lebanese internal war-Arab killing Arab - see Araq - even to day — now arabs killing arabs — look around you - I hope that they come after you too!
Sohrab, Islam is really Lame. Isn't it?
Winston, of course it is! If I was Muslim, I would have to abdicate most of favorite past times--a sacrifice I am not willing to impose on myself!
