Farhaan Wali offers a timely contribution to the issues and
problems involved in the de-radicalisation process. Trying to
generate ethnographic insight into Islamism has always presented a
problem for researchers seeking to comprehend Islamism. Islamist
groups operate secretly, making it difficult to penetrate their
inner workings. Leaving Islamism is like no other academic analysis
of Islamism and de-radicalisation. The author was given access to
ex-Islamist actors, giving the book a significant advantage over
other books. Therefore, in Leaving Islamism, the author has put
together a comprehensive examination of the causes-political,
social, cultural, and interpersonal-of why some young Muslims leave
Islamism in Britain. To go beyond abstract theory, Farhaan Wali has
conducted in-depth interviews with ex-members of Islamist
organisations. His access to ex-members put him in the unique
position of being able to gather the biographical information
required to study the causes of "dropping out" of Islamism.
Therefore, Leaving Islamism will be vital reading for anyone
seeking to understand why some young Muslims leave Islamism. (Dr
Alhagi Manta Drammeh, Associate Professor in Islamic Studies and
visiting scholar at the University of The Gambia in politics,
international relations and diplomacy MSC programme) Islamism
continues to inspire countless young people in Britain to turn away
from the bedrock principles of this country, infusing them with
religious fanaticism. Events such as the Manchester bombing or the
beheading of Lee Rigby seem to trigger a flood of predictable
academic attention. However, these responses are still largely
transfixed on the causality of Islamism. The debate needs to move
forward and take stock of additional dimensions of Islamism.
Although scores of young Muslims are flowing towards the spectre of
Islamism, there are equal numbers flooding out from it. What is the
narrative behind this exodus? Leaving Islamism explores how and why
some British Muslims leave Islamism, providing a compelling new
perspective from which to understand the de-radicalisation process.
The author draws on first-hand accounts of ex-Islamists. By framing
ex-Islamist experiences Farhaan Wali is able to identify and
evaluate the reasons, methods and pathways used by ex-Islamists to
leave Islamist groups and ideology through the collection of
ex-Islamist narratives.
