Former British Jihadist on the Nature of the Extremist Groups

Al-Qaeda, ISIS have no regard for human life, says revolted Hanif Qadir, former Taliban fighter

Aug 31, 2014

But to what extent have the foreign polices of the UK and other western nations contributed to the radicalisation of thousands of Muslim youths? And what hope is there for jihadists returning to the UK, having abandoned extremist groups and their ideologies? Oksana is joined by Hanif Qadir, former Taliban fighter and the founder of the Active Change Foundation, to consider these issues.
