British Muslim activism has evolved constantly in recent decades.
What have been its main groups and how do their leaders compete to
attract followers? Which social and religious ideas from abroad are
most influential? In this groundbreaking study, Sadek Hamid traces
the evolution of Sufi, Salafi and Islamist activist groups in
Britain, including The Young Muslims UK, Hizb ut-Tahrir, the Salafi
JIMAS organisation and Traditional Islam Network. With reference to
second-generation British Muslims especially, he explains how these
groups gain and lose support, embrace and reject foreign
ideologies, and succeed and fail to provide youth with compelling
models of British Muslim identity. Analyzing historical and
firsthand community research, Hamid gives a compelling account of
the complexity that underlies reductionist media narratives of
Islamic activism in Britain.
