Hizb ut-Tahrir replies to last night’s Panorama programme How I Became a Muslim Extremist.
Among the talking heads featured on the programme was Douglas Murray’s mate James Brandon from the misnamed Centre for Social Cohesion, which the programme omitted to mention is a hardline right-wing think tank. And Andrew Green – who assured viewers that HT represents a “gateway” to terrorism – was introduced as a former Foreign Office expert, with no reference to the fact that he is now chairman of the right-wing anti-immigration campaign Migration Watch.
