Pressezitat
"This is a rare, indeed unique contribution to the field of terrorism studies. Abdul Haqq Baker provides an insightful account into the issue of violent extremism in the UK. He offers a powerful counter-narrative against the crass securitization of Salafi and other identities, and I fully recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand better the complex intersectionalities of Islamic conversion, identity, politicisation, traumatisation, marginalisation, violent extremism and counter-terrorism." Basia Spalek, Reader in Communities and Justice and Director of Research and Knowledge Transfer, Institute of Applied Social Studies, University of Birmingham, UK"This first class study in countering extremism offers a counterintuitive response that challenges conventional wisdom by addressing the question: Are British Muslim converts more susceptible to violent extremism or are they the most effective members of the Muslim community in countering it? In a world which continues to be threatened by foreign and domestic acts of terrorism, Extremists in Our Midst: Confronting Terror is a 'must read.'' From the Foreword by John L. Esposito, Professor of Religion and International Affairs and of Islamic Studies, Georgetown University, USA
