Intro

An in-depth conversation with one of the earliest foreign fighters to join the Mujahideen in Bosnia, as Shahid Butt reflects on his experiences in Bosnia, Afghanistan and Yemen, and how they shaped him.

Guest:

Shahid Butt — A British citizen who fought in several conflicts across the Muslim world, including Afghanistan and Bosnia, where he first gained public attention. Before being imprisoned in Yemen, he was seen by some as a pioneering figure in the early wave of British Muslim fighters abroad, referred to by some commentators as a "father of modern jihad." His activities have drawn debate in discussions on radicalisation, foreign fighters, and British Muslim identity.
