Counter-terrorism policy and imposed loyalty requirements shaped Muslim political engagement

Evidence

Allen identifies two key crucial socio-political factors that have shaped how Muslim communities are perceived and, in turn, determined how they are able to engage in public and political spaces. … The first is counter-terrorism policy, framing the Government’s thinking about Islam and Muslims, and the second is the requirement for groups to unequivocally accept and support certain government assumptions. As a result Muslim groups ‘were faced with having to be complicit and agreeable or be excluded from the discussion’. — Runnymede Trust (ed. Farah Elahi & Omar Khan), Islamophobia, 138
