Rethinking transnational Islamic movements
Security and Space
Between 2003 and 2010, the Moroccan regime repressed its Salafi and Shi‘ite communities. Advancing understanding of the relationship between social space, social boundaries and securitisation, an analysis is offered that highlights how this repression was enabled through a securitisation process: a palace-centred coalition constructed representations of space that cast these Salafi and Shi‘ites as threats to Morocco’s spiritual and political orde…
Salafis Between Revolutionaries and Reformist Activists
One of the most influential Islamic movements of the past 40 years, Salafism seeks to bring about a new religious and sociopolitical order based on a strict interpretation of an “authentic” Islam.

Quietist’ Salafis after the ‘Arab revolts’ in Algeria and Libya (2011–2019)
Revolutionary movements, like Salafi-jihadis, often capture public attention. However, as scholars of Salafism have long argued, quietist Salafis are the largest sub-group within, and in many ways the true heart of, Salafism in the southern Mediterranean and beyond. This article has two aims. First, it provides scholarship on Salafi groups in Libya and Algeria not tied to jihadi milieus. Second, it contributes new understandings of Salafi develop…
