Maajid Usman Nawaz is a well-known British activist and former radio presenter recognized for his efforts in combating extremism.

Nawaz is the author of “Radical: My Journey out of Islamist Extremism” and co-authored “Islam and the Future of Tolerance” with Sam Harris. He also dabbled in politics by standing as a Liberal Democrats parliamentary candidate in the 2015 UK general election. Despite his previous ties to Islamist groups, Nawaz has since disavowed his extremist beliefs and now advocates for a more secular interpretation of Islam.
