Summary
"This exploratory research study is designed to identify the perceptions of Muslim faith and ethno-cultural community (FEBO) leaders, key personalities, and university students on terrorism, CT and radicalization. A qualitative, ethnographic research methodology is employed, and additional inferences are drawn from various national and international survey datasets. Data on these perceptions were gathered from semi-structured and focus group interviews, and analyzed using the qualitative data analysis software QSR nVivo 10. The research was conducted in two phases: a small scale pilot study involving one faith-based and one ethno-cultural community-based organization elite group to refine the research questions, followed by interviews with senior representatives from these organizations and four focus group discussions with students. The results are the product of interviews with twenty-one research participants."--Includes text from pages 1-2.
