Sunday 12th July <strong>2015</strong>, Humza Arshad aka bad man star of<br />
Diary of a Bad Man attended an anti-radicalisation event along<br />
with former members of extremist groups hosted by <strong>Cranford</strong><br />
Community College, and organised collaboratively by Hounslow’s prevent<br />
team and West London Initiative. Diary of a Bad Man is a satirical take on<br />
British Asian culture, with a twist: the videos all end with a moral message.<br />
The aim of the event was to highlight the distressing<br />
impact of travel to Syria and Iraq on families, to<br />
dissuade people from travelling and to undermine ISIS and other<br />
organisations’ propaganda. The event allowed younger students to meet a hero of their<br />
times and they were extremely excited to ask him a range of weird and wonderful<br />
questions including which football team he supported and what his favourite food<br />
was. For older and former students it was more an opportunity to ask Humza what<br />
inspired him to use his comedy to promote a very serious message. The more serious<br />
and hard-hitting panel discussion about the very real techniques used by radical<br />
groups in grooming youngsters had everyone captivated and all the students wished<br />
the discussions could go on for longer. One bit of advice given by Mr Muhammad<br />
Manwar Ali (Abu Muntasir) applicable to all people from all walks of life was that<br />
common sense and your conscience have a very important part to play in life, and<br />
whatever goes against both cannot be a good thing.<br />
