Ivan Humble is, in his own words,  'an ordinary English bloke from a council estate in East Anglia'. He grew up in a town that's almost completely white British, and where there weren't many opportunities to meet people with a different perspective or viewpoint. 

Ivan knew people from his town who had served in the British Army, and when he heard there was a homecoming for local troops, he decided to show his support. On that day, he was shocked to encounter a group who not only opposed the troops - his troops, Britain's troops - but were openly advocating for a radical version of political Islam. The person who was leading this group was Anjem Choudary, an extremist preacher, who has since been convicted for supporting Islamic State. 

Ivan was enraged, and that fateful day led him to start researching Muslims and Islam on social media, where he found out everything he needed to know about Muslims. Or so he thought. In need of a sense of belonging and seeking a group which supported his worldview, Ivan joined the EDL (English Defence League) and soon became a regional organiser in East Anglia. However, chance encounters with two Muslims sowed the seeds of doubt in the EDL philosophy he had become so immersed in. 

This is the story of Ivan's journey, a journey from hater to peacemaker.
