Following the terrorist attacks in London on 7 July 2005, questions were raised regarding the levels of disengagement among Muslims communities in Britain, particularly relating to the second/third generations and converts. The realization that such attacks were perpetrated by British citizens highlighted the need for the government to examine and address the causes behind home-grown extremism. Engagement with grassroots local communities was emphasized as a priority, with think-tanks like Demos (Briggs et al., 2006) being among the first to highlight the sense of urgency required. Statutory agencies like the Metropolitan Police’s Muslim Contact Unit (MCU) had been involved in engagement with various communities at a grassroots level since early 2002 and, following reports like that mentioned above, began to get recognition for the collaborative approach it had adopted due to the success it yielded.
