Efforts to curb politicised Islam backfiring

An interesting report on a study which concluded that “Attempts by the British Government to combat the growth of Islamic extremism among a minority of young Muslims are making the situation worse”.

I thought the statement:

“Government policies to improve engagement with Muslims make things worse,” the report’s lead author Munira Mirza said. “The Government should stop emphasising difference and engage with Muslims as citizens, not through their religious identity.”

was perceptive.
