Tariq Jahan interview in the New Statesman, in the aftermath of the 2011 Riots...

An interview with Tariq Jahan: 

" “I don’t see a broken society”, In the aftermath of the riots,  Tariq Jahan’s quiet dignity over his son’s death made him a national hero. Here,  he speaks movingly about losing a child,  and the radical Islamist past he abandoned to become a father. "

"Tariq Jahan's response to his son's death shows a dignity and respect that teaches us all an important lesson."
