Dr. Paul Stott speaking during EFSAS Side-event/Webinar on the sidelines of 45th Session of UNHRC
29-09-2020, Amsterdam
Dr. Paul Stott, EFSAS Research Fellow, writer, academic and researcher on terrorism and radicalization, British Jihadism, Islamism and International security, discussed the jihadist triangle of Islamic State, Britain and South Asia. He argued that ISIS aims to appeal to Sunni Muslims globally, invoking senses of perceived injustice and local grievances in various contexts, including in the region of South Asia, which has resulted in the development of a non-contiguous Islamic State, at least in thought. Mr. Stott further stated that an estimated number of 800-1000 Britons have travelled to join ISIS, and the rise of ISIS has not stopped British participation in conflicts in the Indian Subcontinent.
