Unconvinced by the YMO response to the Bosnian genocide , Husain joined the British faction of Hizb ut-Tahrir , an Islamist group which called for a Caliphate , in whose activities he participated for around five years . It was during his studies at Newham College in 1995 that he decided to leave the group , after witnessing the stabbing of a Christian student . Later he joined the Islamic Society of Britain and was influenced by the spiritual side of Islam and later by scholars who helped convince him to leave the Islamist groups
