The unique story of a radicalised man who de-radicalised himself A glimpse into the life and thoughts of jihadists Extremely topical
non-fiction
Dennis Abdelkarim Honing & Nikki Sterkenburg Unbelievable Dennis Abdelkarim Honing converted to Islam when he was seventeen, having been impressed while in a youth detention centre by the strict rules this religion offered him. He initially attended a liberal mosque, but soon ended up in the orthodox corner and rapidly became radicalised. Along with like-minded peers, many of whom are now fighting in Syria, he attended many demonstrations and informal meetings. Honing pulls apart a number of existing ideas about the background of jihadists and makes recommendations to the European governments on how to tackle radicalisation.
