Abstract
Though there has been a long history of portraying Islam as the ‘Other’, the rise of the Islamist movements in the 1970s and the onset of the War on Terror following the September 11th, 2001, Trade Centre terror attacks would see a renewed emphasis on Islam as the Other. Within the U.K., the London July 7th, 2005, bombings would see academics and policymakers turn their attention to British Muslim communities as it was revealed that the perpetrators of the attack were British born citizens. In the days following the attacks, Tony Blair set out measures for dealing with the threat to the U.K. Blair’s declaration that “British Muslims should understand that they are our partners in getting this done,” would frame the British Muslim community as the ‘Other’ within (Blair, 2005).
