This research addresses Western non-Muslims’ system of knowledge and ideas about Islam and Muslims (“Orientalism”) and radical, activist Muslims’ interpretation of Islam (“Islamism”). Revolving around long-held stereotypes, presuppositions and theories, I propose to evaluate, analyse, and enhance their discourses on issues of strategic importance, fostering the necessary nexus of international security and development. Specific issues will include mutual understanding, pluralism, jihadism, and many dimensions of modernity.
