Radical Islam is a defining theme of the 21st century as Islamic State attempt to expand their self-proclaimed Caliphate and spread Sharia law throughout the World. Current Western policy has misguidedly concentrated on a military reaction, leading to disastrous failed interventions around the Middle East displacing millions of people.
Dr Tawfik Hamid has spent twenty five years promoting peaceful interpretations of the Quran, and is considered a world authority on Islamism and counterterrorism. Recruited into Jamaa Islamiya during his medical degree – by Dr Ayman al-Zawahiri, the man who replaced Osama bin Laden to become the leader of al-Qaeda – Tawfik has a unique insight into how radical Islam works, and how it can be defeated.
