Former Extremist Speaks From His Heart To Young Muslims (video)

As I watch young men and women commit atrocities in the name of ISIS, I continue to ask the question, “Whose voice will get through to a young Muslim who is vulnerable to radicalization”?

Those are the voices, the stories, I am looking for to include in The Stories Campaign.

This week is an excellent example.  I bring you Mubin Shaikh.

I spoke with Mubin in a park in Toronto, Canada.  As a teenager, in the very park we filmed this video, he felt torn between two worlds; his family’s culture of a strict Muslim tradition, and the life he shared with his friends and classmates.  His confusion took him down a dangerous path.  His incredible story is in his book Undercover Jihidi:Inside the Toronto 18-Al Qaeda Inspired, Homegrown, Terrorism in the West

Mubin Shaikh is an expert on Radicalization, deradicalization, countering violent extremism, National security and Counter-terrorism.  However, we spoke on a more personal lever.

In the video below Mubin speaks directly to young Muslims who may be heading down the road toward terrorism.
