On April 28, 2011 ( at 6:30PM) 9/11, Today and Tomorrow Speakers Series at the 9/11 Memorial Preview Site invited Maajid Nawaz, an ex-member of an Islamist extremist group, to detail his personal experience with the Islamic radicalization process and to explain how he works to confront it.
This presentation in the speakers series was called, "The Front Lines of Counter Terrorism: Confronting Islamist Extremist Propaganda."
Maajid Nawaz is a former a high-ranking member of the Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir and spent four years in an Egyptian prison for his affiliation with the group. He emerged to help establish the Quillium Foundation, the worlds first counter-extremism think tank, where he serves as executive director.
He is also the founder of Khudi, a counter-extremism social movement working to promote a democratic culture in Pakistan.
There are some who feel that Nawaz is NOT what he appears to be.

Proverbs 12:
5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
6 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
7 The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
