Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) programs in the US attempt to prevent Muslims toward radicalization by encouraging them to build relationships with law enforcement agencies, educators, public health officials, and nonprofit organization, thereby fostering “resilient” Muslim communities. However, the language of Muslim resiliency extends Orientalist narratives of Muslim and Arab populations, while simultaneously denying the genuine resilience that Muslims exhibit in the face of State violence and US imperialism. In this essay, I problematize the liberal-Orientalist framing of resiliency in counter-terror policy discourses, identify various modes of Muslim death-making, and offer examples of Muslim resiliency in the face of State violence
