Undercover Jihadi Coming Out from Under the Covers

No one understands terrorism-from both the Muslim and Counterterrorism point of view-better than today's guest, Mubin Shaikh. He's the author of Undercover Jihadi: Inside the Toronto 18-Al Qaeda Inspired, Homegrown Terrorism in the West. But, his wise, enlightened perspective didn't come without life-threatening challenges. He shares his fascinating personal journey, from a little boy in a madrassa to a teen identity crisis, trying to balance his Muslim roots with his Canadian lifestyle, to being bit by the Jihadi bug in years preceding 9/11 and then feeling compelled to travel to the Middle East, where he learned true interpretations of the Koran, not the distorted version of Radical Islamists, to going undercover for the government and foiling the biggest terror plot Canada has ever seen, to founding a counterterrorism company of his own, Fusion Intel. If his story was made into a movie, people would find his courage and breadth of experiences hard to believe-but it is all true.
