Within our lifetime, we can remember a time when Islamism wasn't the dominant form of discourse or the aim should be to minimise the absolutists within any religious community and contain them.

The Bosnian Genocide was something that triggered my consciousness and led to an awakening politically for me.

It's not always the case that Muslims have been theocrats.

Ironically, xenophobic nationalists are utilizing the benefits of globalization.

We have to render Islamist extremism as unattractive as communism has become today.

Preying on the grievances of disaffected young men is the bedrock of Islamism.

There are no globalized, youth-led, grassroots social movements advocating for democratic culture across Muslim-majority societies. There is no equivalent of Al-Qaeda without the terrorism.
