Hassan Butt gives an inside look into the life of a former Jihadist.
This gives interesting insights into the Islamic Jihad movement and also really shows what is deadly wrong with any type of extremism.
The world was shocked when the four suicide bombers blew themselves up that morning, especially when it turned out that they were British citizens. The four had been recruited to what is called the "Network," a web of radical Islamic organizations loosely affiliated to al Qaeda which has turned Britain into the western world’s richest breeding grounds for terrorists. How did this happen?
60 Minutes correspondent Bob Simon met someone who knows. And for the first time he spoke about what it was like to be inside that network for ten years. His name is Hassan Butt. He’s only 26 years old, but some of the people he recruited were a lot younger than that.
He goes even further into the sole problem with many Islamic fundamentalists.
"There is a violent streak within Islam. We need to be able to discuss and…counter these arguments so that we don’t have any more Mohammad Sadique Khans."
I'm glad to see someone who really wants to come and put these glaring problems out on the table for all to see. Maybe in time things can change for the better?
(That's only if certain war-loving presidents actually want it, too.)
