Its purpose is to replace Judaism and Christianity with radical Islam.” Maajid Nawaz (former Hizb-ut-Tahrir recruiter; now a liberal-democracy activist):“When I say Islamism, I mean the desire to impose any version of Islam over society.” Ed Husain (former Islamist; author of The Islamist):“The house of Islam is on fire and its Muslim arsonists must be expelled.”
