Abstract

In The Suspect: Counterterrorism, Islam and the Security State, Rizwaan Sabir draws on his own experience to tell the story of what happens when a Muslim academic researching Al-Qaeda post-9/11 is accused of terrorism himself. This candid book testifies as to how counterterrorism legislation and policy can damage and mentally harm individuals in significant and often hidden ways, all under the guise of legally sanctioned police and security state activity, writes Shereen Fernandez. The Suspect: Counterterrorism, Islam and the Security State. Rizwaan Sabir. Pluto Press. 2022.
