Counterterrorism policing deepens the segregation it targets through a feedback loop.

Evidence

Terrorism Measures taken by the European host societies against terrorism may intensifY the isolation of the Muslim communities. The Green Ghetto thus creates a feedback loop: the ghetto generates terrorism; terrorism elicits European police and security action; and police and security action drives more Muslims into the ghetto and further ghetto-izes those already there. The extent to which this dynamic arises will be highly specific to individual countries. — Michael A. Reynolds and Thomas D. Grant, The Future of Europe and Its Muslims, 332
