2) The Prevent aspect of the UK government’s counter terrorism strategy has been widely criticised since its introduction. Critically assess why this has been the case.
3) ‘Radicalisation’ is now a common feature of much contemporary counter terrorism discourse. Critically examine the ‘radicalisation’ concept, particularly as it concerns the threat of ‘home grown’ terrorism
4) Is the concept of Islamophobia useful in explaining the counter terrorism focus on Muslim communities over the past two decades? Critically discuss using case study examples.
5) Critically examine the concept of ‘gendered Islamophobia’, focusing on how stereotypes associated with Muslim women have been used to legitimise security and counter terrorism policies.
