Concern about our young people leaving this country in the name of Jihad is never far from the headlines. Manwar Ali, known as Shaikh Abu Muntasir, is a former committed pioneer of Jihadism in the UK. In this moving, personal talk he reflects on his own experience of radicalisation and violent Jihad and makes a powerful and direct appeal to anyone drawn to Islamist groups who claim that their violence and brutality are Jihad: it’s time to reclaim true Jihad, now.

At TEDxExeter 2016 our speakers encapsulated the idea of movement, that grappling with humanity’s toughest questions requires first a vision, a dream, and then action.
