Where Islamist Terrorism Really Comes From - Ed Husain

What was said

"Among the Mosques as a book could not be discussed on the BBC because a very prominent Muslim broadcaster vetoed the interview saying, I won't interview him because what he's going to be saying brings harm to the Muslim community."

Husain reveals that after publishing his investigative book on radicalization in British mosques, a scheduled BBC interview was cancelled when a prominent Muslim broadcaster refused to participate, arguing his findings would harm the Muslim community. The incident illustrates institutional capture and self-censorship on Islamism even at Britain's national broadcaster, contributing to Husain's eventual relocation to America.
