Wanted to just talk about the first chapter as a beginning, and we mention many factors for the rise of isis. Of course we both know as middle easterners that they have been many radical groups that have evolved over the last 30 or 40 years and isis is just the most violent that has evolved.

We want to have a conversation in the context of what happens but also as your book very eloquently lays out the history of isis and thats what we want to try to understand because many people focus so much on the brutality but your book goes much further and much deeper than just talking about the violence. You talk about the ideology and you talk about the religious dimension which is so important for englishspeaking audiences to understand. Just as a starting point i wanted to just talk about the first chapter in the beginning and you mentioned many factors to the rise of isis and of course we both know as middle easterners there have been many radical groups that have evolved over the last 30 to 40 years and isis is just the most violent that has evolved.
