7/7: Seeking The Souls Of Green Birds

7/7: Seeking the Souls of Green Birds is a compelling and courageous memoir that confronts one of Britain's darkest moments through the eyes of someone who lived its shadows from within. Mohammed Azam, a former youth leader and educator in Beeston, Leeds, shares his personal and painful account of knowing Shehzad Tanweer-one of the four men who carried out the 7/7 London bombings. Azam reflects on the missed opportunities, the ideological grooming, and the emotional and spiritual voids that allowed extremism to take root in young British Muslims.Drawing on first-hand experiences, theological insight, and years of community work, Azam unpacks the layered roots of radicalisation: identity crises, political rage, social isolation, and religious misguidance. This book is not an attempt to justify terrorism-it is a call to understand it, prevent it, and break the cycles of silence and fear that fuel it.Part memoir, part warning, and part call to action, 7/7: Seeking the Souls of Green Birds challenges communities, institutions, and policymakers to take safeguarding seriously-not just in policy, but in presence. It is a vital contribution to Britain's post-7/7 literature: emotionally raw, ethically grounded, and unflinchingly honest. A must-read for anyone committed to peace, prevention, and truth.
