About the Book: It is a novel of short stories. There are several designated characters, and each has a unique backstory. Malathi was dressed in a multicolored, shiny garment, her six yards draped to show off her wealth, but she was unable to conceal her worries and suffering. The next-door neighbor makes an effort to grin while hiding his tears and covering them up. He lost his wife to suicide as a sheer result of his folly. Mina had fallen to the wicked and his sinful thoughts had clouded her, while Devika remained upright and fought valiantly to the end. Every character is captivating; some are through their beauty and charm, but most of them are torn apart, gripping, and full of suspense. It makes the reader feel upbeat. What next?

Radicalism Unveiled is an essential and unique contribution to our knowledge concerning the rise of Islamic radicalism in Britain. Through the study of Hizb ut-Tahrir (The Liberation Party), the spectre of radicalisation looms large and Muslim youth in Britain are increasingly linked to this group, making a critical examination of this complex phenomenon far overdue. Troubled by the great volume of disjointed theories put forward to provide an explanation for radicalisation, the author moves away from the preoccupation with working-class Muslims and considers the socio-political realities of this middle-class movement. An expanding movement inspiring Muslims in Britain to turn away from the bedrock principles of this country and infusing them with religious fanaticism. By penetrating the clandestine veil of Islamic radicalism, the book is able to interpret and analyse the closed social world of radical activism. Relatively unchallenged within British society, Radicalism Unveiled has one key purpose: to determine and explain why some young Muslims join Hizb ut-Tahrir.
