My gosh, there are actually three parts? I got shocked when I discovered that there was a part two; but if the last parts are as interesting as the first one; I'll find time for them.

Good stuff, Tribesman.

Readers interested in such inside news and stories may also want to consult the Quilliam Foundation.

The founders of the Quilliam Foundation have all travelled the path of extremism and, in recent years, after witnessing the logical conclusion of unfettered ideology and its impact on adherents, have resoundingly rejected Islamism while remaining committed Muslims.

Accordingly, the Quilliam Foundation rejects foreign ideologies of Islamism and Jihadism as aberrant readings of the Islamic tradition and are thus irrelevant and defunct. We uphold Islam as a pluralistic, diverse tradition that can heal the pathology of Islamist extremism.
