Marginalization of Somali Muslims and the Rise in Radicalization

This book seeks to examine marginalization of Somali Muslims and the rise of radicalization in Garissa County Kenya.The potential discriminatory impact of counter-terrorism laws and policies on Muslim communities globally is a subject that continues to herald various debates. The basic belief with regards to Islamist terrorists is that they gradually evolve from ordinary peaceful Muslims into individuals who are capable of killing innocent people in the name of Islam. This misconstrued perception has led to wanton ethnic profiling and marginalization of the larger Muslim community.
