The article discusses the issues of religious radicalisation and de-radicalisation in contemporary Islam. Its authors present complex phenomena of ideological, historical, cultural and political contexts of radicalisation processes, investigate the problem of distribution of radical propagandist materials among various Muslim communities around the world and analyse the consequences of ideological transformation of Islamic fundamentalism in selected European countries. In their analysis of ISIS recruitment policy they focus on Arie Kruglanski’s research on cognitive closure and personal significance. The political concepts by Muhammad Iqbal and Muhammad Ali Jinnah are examined as examples of an ideological counter-narrative vis-à-vis fundamentalist philosophy, albeit with the proviso that their universal relevance is probably limited by the historical context of Pakistan. The authors conclude that the radicalisation propaganda has a global appeal as it has adopted a carefully selected group of universally recognised ideologues ( Ibn Abd al-Wahhab, Abul A’la Maududi, Sayyid Qutb) but the recommended de-radicalisation processes should be rooted locally or regionally.
