The European Institute of Peace (EIP) carried out a field survey on the subject of radicalisation in Molenbeek.The report touches on the perception of the Molenbeek  inhabitants on issues associated with radicalisation, the recruitment process, the role of religion and life in general within this Brussels community. The report highlights a number of crucial aspects related to the problem of extremism, such as the linkages between social exclusion and radicalisation. What was uncovered is a strong community sentiment that violent extremism is not in any way, shape or form supported by the Molenbeekois themselves. The report also nuances other facets, including the local relationship with law enforcement, the request for more community policing, and the real tensions that exist between Belgian norms and the everyday practice of Islam. Finally, it concludes with concrete, implementable recommendations for policymakers to consider.For further reading, the report is now available for download here: https://view.publitas.com/eip/eip-molenbeek-report-16-06/page/1.&#160;
