Subsequently, Ul-Haq published his book Die Brutstätte des Terrors (engl: The hotbed of Terrorism), for which he had spent several months undercover in 35 different refugee accommodations in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The book is currently number 78 on the bestseller list in the category history of terrorism. His conclusiion: "Recruitment of fundamentalistic extremists in refugee accommodations primarily takes place in two ways: through the poor food and the missing possiblities to devote oneself undisturbed to one's religious practices."[8].
