TY - JOUR PY - 2009// TI - State Responses to 'Muslim' Violence: A Comparison of Six West European Countries JO - Journal of ethnic and migration studies A1 - Bleich, E. SP - 361 EP - 379 VL - 35 IS - 3 N2 - This essay examines contemporary state responses to associations between Muslims and violence in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain. It stresses the critical role of violence as a spur to recent policy developments, but argues that state actions since 9/11 have to be seen in the context of rising associations between Muslims and violence since the 1980s. States have responded to these associations with an overlapping three-pronged strategy that consists of enacting generic anti-violence policies, repressing religious violence and integrating religious minorities.
