What is it about?
The chapter begins with a brief background of ISMA, before proceeding to discuss its place within the global, regional and Malaysian contexts of non- violent extremism. The authors then discuss how ISMA’s discourse underwent radicalisation at the hands of Middle Eastern-oriented religious leaders.
