Critics Review

This superlative collection of essays sheds new light on the complex connections between violent extremism and religion across nations, ideologies and faiths. Infused with rich, thoughtful engagement from leading scholars, the book is a captivating contribution to our knowledge and understanding of these challenging and urgent issues. * John Horgan, Georgia State University, USA *‘This volume asks us to reassess how we think about religion and radicalisation. It brings together renowned experts and original, empirically rich contributions on radicalisation, religion and extremism, far-right extremism and violent radicalisation that dissect questions of identity politics, ideology and history and how they intersect with radicalisation and religion. It is a valuable source and a must-read for policy makers, academics, analysts and the public alike.’ * Professor Raihan Ismail, HH Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies, Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, University of Oxford, UK *
