Listen now
Description
Host Amy Lehr talks with Hadiya Masieh, director of CENTRI, an organization dedicated to addressing issues of Islamist radicalization amongst Muslim youth. CENTRI also educates organizations about the nature of radical groups, their theology and practices. In addition, Hadiya works as a community cohesion coordinator in London as part of the U.K. counter Extremism Strategy for the home office. From 1996-2007 Hadiya belonged to Hizbut Tahrir, a controversial radical Islamist group as a result of being recruited on university campus at age 18. Since then, she has dedicated her time and energy speaking out against the separatist and dangerous notions of such radical groups. She uses her insights and experience to deter young people from taking the same path and advises governments, NGOs and Global corporations on countering violent extremism.
