My Brother the Islamist

Tree-surgeon turned film-maker Robb Leech is an ordinary white middle-class boy from the Dorset seaside town of Weymouth. So too is his step-brother Rich. But a little over a year ago, Rich became a radical Islamist, who now goes by the name of Salahuddin. He associates with jihadist fundamentalists and believes the UK should be ruled by Sharia law.

Filmed over 12 months, Robb sets out to reconnect with his extremist step-brother; to find clues to what led Rich to become Salahuddin. Robb talks about his relationship with Rich as they were growing up, including home footage. Through the brothers' story, the viewer is taken into a previously unseen world of radical Islamists, living in Britain.

'My Brother the Islamist' broadcasts Monday 4 April, 9pm on BBCthree.

Great video, clearly history repeats itself. In 1939 sane ppl were making attempts to understand those Nazis who were 100% convinced to bring better life to the mankind by creating the new order. The outcome pissed them all off. Now those black sheep (fundamentalists) in the great Muslim family are trying to stir up a new war. Hope we'll piss them off either by not falling for their provocation. I love Muslims but believe that fundamentalists in any religion are the ultimate disgrace to God.

TO JEN LEECH.i have respect for u.Dont let the words of a few dishearten you.Your bro is obviously straight forward by nature.Our beloved Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him came as a mercy&guidance and warner to ALL mankind.He taught us to be humble kind loving and respectful to all people no matter what their faith.Yes there are limits to our friendships with the NOT YET MUSLIMS-but i would'nt call it fake!i pray that Allah the Almighty guides Yourself&others to TRUE ISLAMIC MONOTHEISM.ameen

i cant believe those Muslims was arrested for simply calling a bunch of hired killers (it IS in their job description) MURDERERS ....

What the hell? So you're telling me that your troops are helping to spread democracy and freedom in Afghanistan or Iraq? The thing you guys have to wake up! You cameo with tanks and bombs not with ambulances and aid work! You're killing the people there and thinking you're doing them good.
