  • La Rete Dell'al-Muhajiroun in UK Analisi Incrociata Tra Fonti
    Italian Team for Security, Terroristic Issues & Managing Emergencies Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore di Milano La rete dell’Al-Muhajiroun in UK Analisi incrociata tra fonti aperte e Video Intelligence Analysis By Alexis Fawkes Web site: www.itstime.it E-mail: [email protected] Address: Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore - Dip. di Sociologia, Largo Gemelli, 1, 20123 Milano IT 2 Introduzione L’Inghilterra (UK) è sempre stata al centro degli attacchi sia propagandistici che fisici da parte del sedicente Stato Islamico. Le ultime indagini inerenti agli attacchi terroristici perpetrati a Manchester il 22 maggio 2017 e a Londra il 3 giugno 2017, hanno posto l’attenzione sull’estensione delle reti all’interno delle quali gli attentatori si sarebbe mossi per pianificare gli attentati. Il territorio inglese è stato protagonista del radicalismo di matrice islamica fin dall’indomani degli attacchi terroristici alle Twin Towers negli US. Il 22 dicembre 2001, Richard Colvin Reid, durante un volo da Parigi a Miami cerca di far detonare un ordigno di dimensioni ridotte che aveva nascosto all’interno del tacco della scarpa, fallendo nel tentativo. Richard Reid negli anni ‘90 era un frequentatore della moschea di Finsbury Park guidata dal predicatore Abu Hamza al- Masri, alias di Mustafa Kamel Mustafa. Richard Reid può essere considerato uno dei primi radicali, confluiti nell’estremismo, affiliato al gruppo Al-Muhajiroun, infatti fino ad un mese prima il fallito attentato era solito ritrovarsi con gli altri membri a Ilford, ad est di Londra. In questa direzione, 16 anni dopo Khuram Shazad Butt coordina un attacco nell’area del London Bridge, anch’esso un affiliato di Al-Muhajiroun.

The first part of the book, "Immigrants Past and Present," gives an account of the role played by a few of the migrant communities who came to Britain and settled before the end of World War II. The contributions they have made and the difficulties they have faced are outlined. The second part of the book, "The Contributions of Britain's Ethnic Minorities," focuses on the 50 years since the end of World War II through a selection of "snapshots" of key areas of society where immigration and ethnic diversity have enriched life in Britain. The final section, "Roots of the Future," emphasizes the importance of recognizing ethnic diversity in planning for Britain's future. A list of key dates in British history is included.

  • Why Mehdi Hasan Is Half Right and Half Wrong on Foreign Policy As a Cause of Terrorism
    Why Mehdi Hasan is half right and half wrong on foreign policy as a cause of terrorism Uncomfortable though it might be, it is entirely conceivable the Woolwich attack was motivated by both an unwise, unsustainable and unjust foreign policy, and the beliefs predominant within minority elements of British Sunni Islam, namely Salafi-Jihadis. Mehdi Hasan’s article “Extremists point to Western foreign policy to explain their acts. Why do we ignore them?” contains both an appealing, and an uncomfortable message. Firstly for those wedded to interventionist positions, be it in Iraq and Afghanistan, or several of the foreign policy choices that have faced the coalition, the argument is discomfiting. A traditional principle of government is to provide for the security of its citizens. If intervening in Muslim majority countries, or reflexively supporting the United States or Israel undermines this, surely the Prime Minister has a duty to reconsider such policies? There is little evidence such an approach is likely. David Cameron’s response to the In Amenas siege in Algeria was to talk of an existential struggle against terrorism that may last a generation, to pledge some supporting elements to France’s intervention in Mali, but to deny a parliamentary debate on the subject as British boots were not on the ground in the country. Such actions made a mockery of the democratic beliefs he claims to be upholding. Mehdi Hasan’s arguments are also, in some quarters, very appealing. Britain’s many Muslim representative organisations have long complained of a political discourse that equates Islam per se with terrorism.

  • British Jihadism: the Detail and the Denial
    British Jihadism: The Detail and the Denial Paul Vernon Angus Stott A thesis submitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. University of East Anglia School of Politics, Philosophy, Language and Communication Studies 30 April 2015. This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 1 Abstract Since the early 1990s British Islamists have been fighting, killing and dying in a succession of conflicts across the world, beginning with the Bosnian civil war of 1992-95. A decade later this violence reached the United Kingdom, with a series of deadly attacks on the London transport system in July 2005, the first suicide bombings in Western Europe. This thesis provides a historiography of the involvement of Britons in global and domestic jihadist struggles at home and abroad across three decades. It catalogues and records their actions, and bring into a central document the names and affiliations of both British Islamist combatants, and those from jihadist organisations who have settled in this country. The ever increasing number of Britons travelling to the Islamic State does not come as a surprise when the scale of past involvement in such causes is considered. This thesis deconstructs the religious objectives is intrinsic to these trends, and emphasises that in British Jihadism it is the goal, as much as the message, which is religious.

    IPRPD International Journal of Arts, Humanities & Social Science ISSN 2693-2547 (Print), 2693-2555 (Online) Volume 01; Issue no 07: December 07, 2020 Recruitment and Muslims against Crusaders (MAC) attractive: A Strain theory approach Dr Ilyas Mohammed1 1 Lecturer, Department of Sociology, Social Policy and Criminology, University of Liverpool Email: [email protected] Received: 30/11/2020 Accepted for Publication: 05/12/2020 Published: 07/12/2020 Abstract Muslims Against Crusaders (MAC) was the last reincarnation of Al Muhajiroun. Some of its members travelled to Syria and joined ISIS and others have been arrested the British security services. Most research on Al Muhajiroun and its reincarnation tend to focus on socio-political and economic circumstances allied with Salafi/Wahhabi Islam, to explain the motivations to join extremist groups. However, such explanations fail to account for the role that collective strain, vicarious strain and linked fate have on individuals deciding to join MAC. This paper argues that the experience of collective strain, collective strain and linked fate by members of MAC contribute to them deciding to join the group. Keywords: Radicalization, Terrorism, Muslim, Extremism, Islamic state, Strain theory. Introduction Muslims Against Crusaders (MAC) was set up in 2010 by Abu Assadullah, a British Muslim from London. The group was another reincarnation of Al Muhajiroun (Ilyas, 2014 and Klausen et al. 2012). The group gained international notoriety for burning national flags, Poppies on Remembrance Day and for chants like 'British soldiers burn in hell'. Theresa May banned the group in November 2011, when she was British Home Sectary (Taylor & Peachey, 2011).
