Description

In the aftermath of the attacks on September 11, 2001, and subsequent terrorist attacks elsewhere around the world, a key counterterrorism concern is the possible radicalization of Muslims living in the U.S. Yet, the record over the past decade contains relatively few examples of Muslim-Americans that have radicalized and turned toward violent extremism. This is the report of a project that seeks to explain this encouraging result by identifying characteristics and practices in the Muslim-American community that are preventing radicalization and violence. The objective was pursued through interviews of over 120 Muslims located in four different Muslim-American communities across the country; a comprehensive review of studies and literature on Muslim-American communities; a review of websites and publications of Muslim-American organizations; and a compilation of data on prosecutions of Muslim-Americans on violent terrorism-related offenses. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
