The Psychology of Islamophobia & Counter-Terrorism | The London Circle
| The London Circle | 27 Sep 2023
Behind government policies which emerged following the 9-11 attacks and the heralding of the war on terror, is a sophisticated web of psychological analysis and mental health evaluations, not far from sci-fi plots of Hollywood, where crimes are pre-empted and terrorists are detected before they have themselves considered committing any criminal acts. Or so, we are led to believe.
When the film Minority Report came out, no one expected that within only a few years, counter-terrorism operatives would employ psychology to fight the fight. While the contentious practice of “profiling’ was common, wide-spread and often wildly off the mark, scientists and so called experts were hard at work instilling such methods and mechanisms into policies implemented across the board targeting young children and the vulnerable.
Tarek Younis, an author and expert in psychology and mental health in counter-terrorism practices and Islamophobia, talk with Anas Altikriti about this and the implications upon an already heavily targeted Muslim community in the UK
