Them

Host:

Several years ago, before most of us paid much attention to the name Osama bin Laden, Reporter Jon Ronson spent a year following around a Muslim activist named Omar Bakri, who called himself bin Laden's &quotman in London.&quot At first Ronson thought Bakri was on the &quotthem&quot side of &quotus and them.&quot But then Ronson got to know him, and changed his mind. After September 11, he had to change his mind again. Ronson tells his story, which includes excerpts from his book Them: Adventures with Extremists.
