Maajid Nawaz is a British born Muslim who became a radical Islamist.
He was arrested and imprisoned in Hosni Mubarak's Egypt but when he emerged from prison he renounced his former views and launched a campaign to counter Islamist ideology.
To some he's a truth teller, to others a traitor.
Stephen Sackur asks him to explain his extraordinary transformation.
