The purpose of this document is to offer policy makers in liberal democracies a comprehensive but triaged set of recommendations to build a full-scale response to Islamic extremism and minimise its influence.&#160;Islamism in Europe and the Islamic StateRadicalization towards militant Islamism and terrorism constitutes a long-term threat for the European Union countries. The problem is gaining dangerous momentum with the expansion of the Islamic State (IS), which changes the geopolitical arrangement in the Middle East, encourages radicalization and inspires terrorist attacks in Europe and elsewhere in the world. Addressing this situation requires a proactive approach of the political leaders and expert public in the fight against the spread of Islamism. For this reason, the European Values think tank ​​presents this expert publication, which lays down the basis for a discussion on how to successfully remove the threat of IS and secure Europe against the threat of Islamic terrorism.&#160;Islam in Austrian LawThe European Values Think-Tank introduces a new background paper.
