Since 2011, with the British Government's counter-radicalisation
strategy, Prevent, non-violent Islamist groups have been considered
a security risk for spreading a divisive ideology that can lead to
radicalisation and violence. More recently, the Government has
expressed concerns about their impact on social cohesion, entryism,
and women's rights. The key protagonists of non-violent Islamist
'extremism' allegedly include groups and individuals associated
with the Muslim Brotherhood and Jama'at-i-Islami. They have been
described as part of the 'global Muslim Brotherhood', but do they
constitute a singular phenomenon, a social movement? This book
shows that such groups and individuals do indeed comprise a
movement in Britain, one dedicated to an Islamic 'revival'. It
shows how they are networked organisationally, bonded through
ideological and cultural kinship, and united in a conflict of
values with the British society and state. Using original
interviews with prominent revivalist leaders, as well as primary
sources, the book also shows how the movement is not so much
'Islamist' in aspiring for an Islamic state, but concerned with
institutionalising an Islamic worldview and moral framework
throughout society. The conflict between the Government and the
global Muslim Brotherhood is apparent in a number of different
fields, including education, governance, law, and counterterrorism.
But this does not simply concern the direction of Government policy
or the control of state institutions. It most fundamentally
concerns the symbolic authority to legitimise a way of seeing,
thinking and living. By assessing this multifaceted conflict, the
book presents an exhaustive and up-to-date analysis of the
political and cultural fault lines between Islamic revivalists and
the British authorities. It will be useful for anyone studying
Islam in the West, government counter-terrorism and
counter-extremism policy, multiculturalism and social cohesion.
