EX EXTREMISTS
LTK91020093666X
This is a one hour documentary...the first person singular story of my Egyptian friend and colleague who is a video journalist and has spent the last two years interviewing three Islamists...ex extremists who used to blow stuff up and now practice moderation. It is an important story about the possibility of hope in the Mid East. It's all in Arabic, and although my friend speaks perfect English, he has an accent which will not lend itself to a good narration.
I am in the rough cut stage and need a voice which is personal, easy to listen to, but one with passion and engergy (but don't over do it). The last thing I want is a deep announcer who does commercials. I need a pro who is non union since I am in the rough cut stage and need to raise more $ to finish this off.
I need someone who can take direction. This is an extraordinary project for the right person willing to work with me.
Take your time with this portion of the scriipt. do not hurry the read, but read with engergy. Aug 13, 2007 14:45:34 (GMT -05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada) Aug 24, 2007 12:00:00 (GMT -05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada) Yes (click here to learn more about

I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN EGYPT.
CAIRO IS MY HOME.
I LOVE IT HERE.
MY NAME IS HOSSAM ABOUL MAGD. (PRONOUNCED ‘HO-SAM A-BOUL MAG-DUH) I AM A VIDEOJOURNALIST AND MY WORK TAKES ME ALL OVER THE WORLD. I’VE WORKED FOR THE ARABS AT AL JAZZERA… THE BRITS AT THE BBC… …AND FOR THE AMERICANS AT THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL AND FOR PBS. .
NO MATTER HOW BEAUTIFUL THE WORLD CAN BE, I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO COMING HOME.
I’M 35 YEARS OLD AND MARRIED …TO AN AMERICAN WOMAN. WE HAVE TWO YOUNG DAUGHTERS.
THIS IS THE WAY I SEE WHERE I LIVE.
THIS IS THE WAY MUCH OF THE REST OF THE WORLD SEES IT.
THE STEREOTYPE THAT IT’S ALL VIOLENCE HERE IS WRONG. ACTUALLY, THERE IS LESS EXTREMISM IN EGYPT TODAY THAN IN THE PAST.
THE GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE CREDIT FOR THIS CHANGE, BUT THEIR AGGRESSION IS NOT THE ANSWER. SEVERAL YEARS AGO I WAS BEATEN, MY ARM BROKEN AND MY CAMERA DESTROYED AS I COVERED PARLIAMENTRARY ELECTIONS.
I DO NOT ACCEPT THEIR HARSH METHODS. I BELIEVE IN FREE SPEECH AND COMPLETELY FREE ELECTIONS.
THERE’S AN IMPORTANT STORY HERE WHICH I THINK IS GOING UNCOVERED…ANd IT’S ONE WITH BIG IMPLICATIONS. SOME RADICAL ISLAMIC GROUPS HAVE REFORMED THEIR WAYS…AND APOLOGIZED… AND NOW SEEK AN END TO VIOLENCE.
THIS MADE ME WONDER…IF VIOLENT ATTACKS HERE HAVE LESSENED BECAUSE SOME EXTREMISTS HAVE BECOME MORE MODERATE, IS THERE A LESSON IN THIS FOR OTHERS IN THE MIDDLE EAST?
LIKE MOST ARABS, I’M MODERATE IN MY POLITICS. AND I AM A DEVOUT MUSLIM. I AM ANGRY ABOUT THE LEVEL OF EXTREMISM IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD. LIKE EVERYONE I KNOW, I WANT IT STOPPED IT UPSETS ME THAT THE RADICAL FRINGE HAS HIJACKED MY RELIGION. ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE NO MATTER HOW VIOLENT OTHERS MAKE IT SEEM.
THERE’S A GROWING GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO I THINK HAVE A PARTICULARLY INTERESTING POINT OF VIEW ABOUT EXTREMISM, EVEN IF THEY ARE IN THE MINORITY. I CALL THEM EX EXTREMISTS…PEOPLE WHO USED TO PROMOTE VIOLENCE, BUT NOW PRACTICE MODERATION. AND THEY’RE NOT JUST IN EGYPT.
SO I SET OUT ON A JOURNEY TO MEET SOME OF THEM. BEGINNING IN CAIRO, THEN MOVING TO UPPER EGYPT, SAUDI ARABIA, THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES AND THE GAZA STRIP… TO DISCOVER IF THESE PEOPLE ARE FOR REAL… AND IF SO, CAN WE LEARN FROM THEM. OR IS THIS JUST A RUSE FOR THEM TO RADICALIZE A POPULATION BY LESS VIOLENT MEANS.
