“Impressive … deftly examines the roots and growth of Muslim extremism in the UK and would have been invaluable for that alone. But it stands for something more. It is a powerful cri de coeur. British society, Khan urges, must stand with reforming Muslims otherwise ‘extremists are the ones who will be left to define British Islam’.” Times Literary Supplement
