Reviews

Jez Littlewood, Director, Canadian Centre of Intelligence and Security Studies, Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, Carleton University:
“This collection should be required reading for anyone who intends to discuss terrorism and religious identity in Canada and other multicultural Western democracies.”

Jennifer Selby, Department of Religious Studies, Memorial University:
“Religious Radicalization and Securitization in Canada and Beyond makes an important contribution not only to debates about religion and radicalism in Canada but also to the much broader debate on the place and nature of religion within liberal and secular states.”

Marat Shterin, Senior Lecturer, Department of Theology and Religious Studies, King’s College London :
“This is a remarkable and timely volume that brings together into sharp focus some of the most disturbing and perplexing issues of our time: religiously motivated radicalism, terrorism, and national security.”
