Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Violent Islamic extremism in the Western world -- Policy problems, approaches and dilemmas in targeting Islamic extremism -- London : value-based or means-based approach towards violent extremism? -- Amsterdam : a broad approach for tackling the breeding grounds of violent extremism -- Berlin : between partnership and enemies -- Antwerp : policy in the making -- Paris : policies by intelligence services and the building of a cultural institute -- Conclusions : policies and dilemmas : how should local authorities approach violent Islamic extremism? The terrorist attacks at the start of the new millennium shook the world. In Western countries, the new threat of 'home-grown' Islamic terrorism has directed the authorities' attention towards local Muslim communities. Islamic terrorism is generally seen as a sign of the lack of integration of these communities. Authorities therefore often opt for preventive policies in which the engagement with Muslim organisations and spokespersons plays a significant role. However, this engagement comes with its own problems and dilemmas. Should authorities aim for a broad representation of the community or instead go for selective engagement? Are non-violent fundamentalist organisations also to be seen as the enemy? Should authorities enter into public debate with extremist organisations? Is it wise to link anti-radicalisation policies to more general integration policies? The terrorist attacks at the start of the new millennium shook the world.
