The Impact of Western Strategy on Muslim South Asia
19 Dec 2007On December 3rd RUSI hosted a one-day conference on ‘The Impact of Western Strategy on Muslim South Asia’.
The discussion concentrated on the global war on terror and its effects on extremism in the region. An investigation into this topic has been especially urgent, with the nagging suspicion in the minds of many South Asian Muslims that the war on terror is a war against Islam. The results of this frustration have been plain to observe both at home and abroad, where young South Asian’s continue to be drawn towards radical jihad. This is undermining both the position of moderates within the community and government policies in countering the jihadist threat.
Core Themes:
· Public opinion in Muslim
·
· Current government policy impact within the Muslim community
· Alternative approaches to the GWOT
Speakers included:
Lt. Gen. (Retd) Javed Ashraf Qazi, Senator and Special Envoy to the Government of
Jonathan Paris, Adjunct Fellow, Hudson Institute
Sir Hilary Synnott KCMG, Former High Commissioner to
Iain Mathewson CMG, Adviser, Citigroup
Rt Hon Parmjit Dhanda MP, Parliamentary Undersecretary of State, Department for Communities and Local Government
