Based on ethnographic research in Belgium, The Netherlands, and
Germany, this book presents a novel approach to studying Muslim
militant activism. While much existing research focuses on the
process of radicalization, these authors introduce a different set
of questions that investigate specific modes of activism, and their
engagement with dominant discourses and practices in media and
state policies. Drawing on social movement theory and Foucault's
work on counter-conduct, this research explores how da'wa networks
came about, and how activists developed themselves in interaction
with state and media practices. This perspective highlights a form
of activism and resistance in which activists turn against policies
and debates centring on Muslims and Islam, while attempting to
create and protect an alternative space for themselves in which
they can experience Islam according to their own perception of it.
The study will contribute to debates about resistance, social
movements and militant activism among Muslims in Europe.
