Highlights
For Katherine Brown (2008), Muslim women have been seen as something of a ‘missing link’ within the dominant British Governmental counter-terrorism and counter-radicalisation initiatives of recent years, a topic she notes as having received relatively scant attention
Government acknowledged that it would need to support Muslim women to overcome some of the constraints it believed were placed on Muslim women in contemporary Britain
Having explored these in detail, this article concludes by critically reflecting on the way in which Government engaged and interacted with Muslim women, the role and relative success of the National Muslims Women’s Advisory Group (NMWAG) and, most importantly, the extent to which the NMWAG was able to ‘influence and challenge’ interpretations of Islamic theology
