El infiel que habita en mí

The protagonists of this book are militants of the terrorist group Islamic State; European citizens who, overnight, decided to move to the terrorist enclaves of Syria and Iraq. Yolanda's parents never imagined such a misfortune for a good girl from the wealthiest neighborhood of Madrid; not even Tarik's cellmates, who didn't even know how to pray when he entered the most dangerous prison in Belgium at the age of eighteen; Nor did Léonard's parents, descendants of anarchists and Jews who died in Auschwitz, suspect it; nor the family of Fadel, a spy abandoned in the prisons of the International Coalition. The unexpected migration of these characters was motivated by a myriad of reasons that this work analyzes. What was the childhood like for generations of Muslim migrants in Europe? And the approach to Islam of the converts? What was the trigger for the trip to the caliphate? What role did they play in ISIS? And now? Are they sorry? What will happen if they return? What if they don't? Pilar Cebrián has interviewed dozens of prisoners in the prisons of Syria and Iraq, as well as family, friends and police, to compose these unfinished biographies that one day crossed the perverse path of jihadist terrorism.
