Former Islamist Extremist Sohail Ahmed explains how he was radicalised.

"I was raised and told that Britain was the enemy by my parents. I was considering doing something horrific."

In a recent interview, Sohail Ahmed, a former Islamic extremist who is now studying at the University of Cambridge, shared his experiences and insights into the rise of Islamist extremism. Ahmed, who has become an outspoken critic of extremist ideologies, sheds light on the factors that led him down a dangerous path and the importance of understanding the complexities of religion.

Ahmed's journey began in his childhood, where he was raised to believe that Britain was the enemy and that his loyalty belonged solely to his religion. He explains that his parents, who had themselves been brainwashed, played a significant role in shaping his extremist views. It was during the first wave of 'Salafisation', a form of Wahhabism or Salafism, that Ahmed became immersed in radical ideology.
