This volume is about countering IS warped ideology and propaganda based on misinterpretation and misapplication of Islamic intellectual tradition for the purpose of mobilising young impressionable Muslims from all over the world.
The volume seeks to demonstrate how IS ideology and propaganda is theologically misguided by offering the correct and authoritative understanding of Islam.
The volume compiles various articles that focus on refuting specific aspect of IS ideology by local Singapore Muslim clerics who have dedicated time in researching IS extremist ideology, rehabilitating local radicalised individuals and public counter-radicalisation works. The volume, thus, serves to document their efforts and voices in combating extremism among Muslims in Singapore.
