  • Jihadist Foreign Fighter Phenomenon in Western Europe: a Low-Probability, High-Impact Threat
    Jihadist Foreign Fighter Phenomenon in Western Europe: A Low-Probability, High-Impact Threat Edwin Bakker and Jeanine de Roy van Zuijdewijn ICCT Research Paper October 2015 The phenomenon of foreign fighters in Syria and Iraq is making headlines. Their involvement in the atrocities committed by terrorist groups such as the so-called “Islamic State” and Jabhat al-Nusra have caused grave concern and public outcry in the foreign fighters’ European countries of origin. While much has been written about these foreign fighters and the possible threat they pose, the impact of this phenomenon on Western European societies has yet to be documented. This Research Paper by Edwin Bakker and Jeanine De Roy van Zuijdewijn explores four particular areas where this impact is most visible: a) violent incidents associated with (returned) foreign fighters, b) official and political responses linked to these incidents, c) public opinion, and d) anti-Islam reactions linked to these incidents. The authors conclude that the phenomenon of jihadist foreign fighters in European societies should be primarily regarded as a social and political threat, not a physical one. They consider the phenomenon of European jihadist foreign fighters a “low-probability, high-impact” threat. About the Authors Edwin Bakker is Professor of (Counter-)Terrorism Studies at Leiden University, Director of the Centre for Terrorism and Counterterrorism (CTC) of that same university and Research Fellow at ICCT. He studied Economic Geography (Netherlands) and Political Geography (Netherlands and Germany). In 1997, he defended his PhD thesis on minority conflicts in Slovakia and Hungary. He taught classes in international policies on preventing and managing separatism and intra-state war in the Balkans at the Centre for International Conflict Analysis and Management (CICAM), Nijmegen University.

  • Muslim Community Organisations and Leadership in Australia
    Muslim Community Organisations and Leadership in Australia Submitted by Ryan Edwards ORCID ID: 0000-0001-5112-9363 A thesis in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2018 Asia Institute Faculty of Arts University of Melbourne i Abstract Contemporary Islamophobia, strengthened by its intersectionality with overlapping phenomena, such as racism and protectionist attitudes towards migration, has impacted and affected Australian Muslim communities in a variety of ways. Muslim community organisations (MCOs), often serving as the link between Muslim communities and government, media and wider society, are consistently required to navigate the challenges that arise amidst the socio-political context in which they operate. By exploring the socio-political context and developing an enhanced understanding of the overall structure of MCOs in Australia, this thesis identifies and examines the key contemporary challenges facing Australian MCOs. Through semi-structured, in-depth interviews with twenty-four representatives of MCOs from across the five Australian cities with the largest self-identifying Muslim populations (Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide), this research provides a new and valuable insight into issues that are both contemporarily important and significant for Australia’s future. After separating MCOs into three categories (peak bodies, collective religious leadership and community groups), this thesis identifies several key themes that emerged from the interviews representing internal challenges to MCOs. These included: the generation gap, employment of imams, diversity of Muslims in Australia, and staff, funding and governance. It then explores Islamophobia as an external challenge, addressing how it affects MCOs and some of the ways in which they have responded.

  • FRAMING ISLAM AS a THREAT the Use of Islam by Some U.S
    FRAMING ISLAM AS A THREAT The Use of Islam by Some U.S. Conservatives as a Platform for Cultural Politics in the Decade after 9/11 David Douglas Belt A dissertation submitted to the faculty of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY In Planning, Governance & Globalization Gerard Toal (Chair) Timothy W. Luke Joel Peters Ariel I. Ahram September 19, 2014 Alexandria, Virginia Keywords cultural politics, discourse, identity politics, Islamophobia, security writing Copyright 2014 by David D. Belt FRAMING ISLAM AS A THREAT The Use of Islam by Some U.S. Conservatives as a Platform for Cultural Politics in the Decade after 9/11 David Douglas Belt ABSTRACT Why, in the aftermath of 9/11, did a segment of U.S. security experts, political elite, media and other institutions classify not just al-Qaeda but the entire religion of Islam as a security threat, thereby countering the prevailing professional consensus and White House policy that maintained a distinction between terrorism and Islam? Why did this oppositional threat narrative on Islam expand and even degenerate into warning about the “Islamization” of America by its tiny population of Muslim-Americans—a perceived threat sufficiently convincing that legislators in two dozen states introduced bills to prevent the spread of Islamic law, or sharia, and a Republican Presidential front-runner exclaimed, “I believe Shariah is a mortal threat to the survival of freedom in the United States and in the world as we know it”? This dissertation takes these puzzles as its object of inquiry.
