Encounter

On strictly observant religion

Show Notes

On strictly observant religion. In this episode Ed sits down with the Woolf Institute's own Tobias Müller and Professor Kim Knott from Lancaster University and the Centre for Research and Evidence on Security Threats to try and add nuance to the way we talk about fundamentalism. How do fundamentalist ideas and behaviour function? Is fundamentalism always a threat? And how do we distinguish between fundamentalism, extremism, radicalism and orthodoxy?

Featuring Ed Kessler, Tobias Müller, Kim Knott and David Perry.
