      abstract = {This book is a study of American Muslims' perspectives on  Muslims who become radicalized and choose to support the  Islamic State. Muslim radicalization is a global phenomenon  that has affected American Muslims as it has Muslims  throughout the world. In 2015, approximately 250 Americans  joined the Islamic State (IS), and some still sympathize  with it. Based on 51 in-depth interviews conducted in nine  states from 2017 to 2021, this book offers a thematic  understanding of radicalization, touching on themes such as  Islamic history, Muslims' social and political identities,  cultural dilemmas, radicalization outlets, mental health,  media stereotypes, Islamophobia, security, and the impact  of COVID-19 on radicalization. This book differs from  previous scholarship on the causes of radicalization by  focusing on the perspectives of non-radicalized American  Muslims. While some previous scholarship has focused on  Muslim radicalization in Europe, this book provides a new  spectrum of views from the United States. It also offers  pathways to de-radicalization. The interview data is  complemented with relevant literature, analysis of media  perspectives, and the author's personal observations.
