Ex-Islamist might come in second place; it’s hard to say ,there is a lot of competition for the second slot. Sorry, my post got scrambled somehow.

That Sheik, Abdul Latif Fultali, was the leader of what for all intents and purposes sounded like an Islamist organisation in Bangladesh. I wrote about this in the comments section of AltMuslim.com on 16/06/07 as follows ... "I have started reading the Islamist and was interested with Ed Husain's description of his family Pir Abdul Latif Fultali as being allegedly apolitical. I did some googling and found this site ... http://www.fultali.com/ I then went to the website of an organisation he founded, which can be found here ... http://www.fultali.com/leadership/al-islah.htm ... and here we find that among the "aims" of the body is "to make politics and society to be symmetrical with the Islamic orders". Their focus is on welfare and service provision. I ask myself what is the difference between this and FIS or HAMAS which started in the same manner?"

The HT head honchos would want to see a certificate from your psychiatrist proving you have got what it takes (paranoia, delusions of grandeur...) to be an HT big wig.
