Faith and state. British policy responses to 'Islamist' extremism / Fe y Estado. La política británica responde al extremismo 'Islamista'

Abstract

Islamist extremism has been the focus of intensive global scrutiny since September 2001. Many states have responded to the challenge of Islamic terrorism with a common anti terrorist strategy. Those policies include generic anti violence policies that consciously avoided to mention Islam; repressive policies that explicitly target Muslims extremists and policies that seek to integrate Muslims by soft or compelling methods. The article explores these policies in Britain.
