Maajid Nawaz: An interesting look on how we need to fight extremism

[Callie Del Noire]

I've been using my iPad to download iTunes U courses. One of them was the TED course on Religion: Understanding Islam. I've felt that there was a VAST schism between the practicing Muslims I know and the image that is perpetuated in the media. Most of the folks I know are among the most tolerant and helpful folk I ever know, and the rest simply want to be left alone and stand off.

Maajid summed up WHY Islamic extremism has been beating up on Islamic Modernism so throughly.

An interesting take on a man who used to be a radical extremist himself.
