Description
The Suspect Counterterrorism, Islam, and the Security State by Rizwaan Sabir explores the impact of two decades' worth of policing and counterterrorism on the state of mind of Muslims in Britain. Sabir draws on his own experiences of being suspected of terrorism to examine British counterterrorism practices and their effects on Muslim communities. He describes his arrest, detention, surveillance, and the mental health consequences of these experiences. Sabir argues that these outcomes are not due to errors in government planning, but rather a result of using a counterinsurgency warfare approach to surveillance. This book is a powerful critique of counterterrorism policy and practice, highlighting the need to resist such approaches if we are to break this injustice.
