In Europe and North America, networks tracing their origins back to the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist movements have rapidly evolved into multifunctional and richly funded organizations competing to become the major representatives of Western Muslim communities and government interlocutors. Some analysts and policy makers see these organizations as positive forces encouraging integration. Others cast them as modern-day Trojan horses, feigning moderation while radicalizing Western Muslims.

Lorenzo Vidino brokers a third, more informed view. Drawing on more than a decade of research on political Islam in the West, he keenly analyzes a controversial movement that still remains relatively unknown. Conducting in-depth interviews on four continents and sourcing documents in ten languages, Vidino shares the history, methods, attitudes, and goals of the Western Brothers, as well as their phenomenal growth. He then flips the perspective, examining the response to these groups by Western governments, specifically those of Great Britain, Germany, and the United States. Highly informed and thoughtfully presented, Vidino's research sheds light on a critical juncture in Muslim-Western relations.

Editorial Reviews

Review

The New Muslim Brotherhood in the West sheds considerable light on an especially poorly understood phenomenon. Lorenzo Vidino is to be commended for producing a comprehensive overview that is likely to become the standard text on this subject. -- Bruce Hoffman, Georgetown University, author of Inside Terrorism

Lorenzo Vidino's illuminating book nicely outlines the challenges faced by Western governments in trying to pursue counter-radicalization policies within their own Muslim populations. Vidino provides a well-informed, thoughtful, and balanced analysis of the dilemmas posed by the potential threat of domestic extremism. -- Steven Miller, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University

Though he remains a sceptic, he provides a wealth of information to let the rest of us make up our minds. ― Economist

Mr. Vidino's book is essential reading for those concerned about understanding its past past and future activities and directions. -- Joshua Sinai ― Washington Times

...informative, well-written.... ― Choice

...this volume is a key addition to the literature and a must read for students, academics and practitioners who are interested in understanding an organization that has assumed the role of spokesperson for the ever growing Western Muslim community. -- Lavinia Stan ― European Legacy

Review of The New Muslim Brotherhood in the West

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2010

Verified Purchase

I liked Lorenzo Vidino's 'The New Muslim Brotherhood in the West' so much I asked if he'd autograph it for me and that's something I've only done with two other authors in my life. This publication comes from a true highly qualified authority and puts everything in place in its proper order. I'm not aware of another comprehensive publication like this at this time and suggest it is the authoritative summary of the evolution and history of the Muslim Brotherhood and its expansion throughout Europe, Asia, and into the West.

The topic of Islam is misunderstood by many people and I believe it is important for us to be more 'Religious Literate' before we misjudge. In order to do that we need to first become better informed overall and this is one of the pertinent topics. Lorenzo's book provides a comprehensive overview of the New Muslim Brotherhood in an enlightening way. I give this publication my highest recommendation.

This book brings much-needed balance to a topic over which the debate has been hysterical. Unlike many authors who have whitewashed them in the past, ignoring some important evidence, Vidino does not shy away from pointing out with meticulous evidence some highly disturbing issues surrounding Muslim Brotherhood-related networks in the West. Yet, at the same time, his work his light-years away from that of those, particularly in neo-conservative circles, who see ghosts and conspiracies behind every corner. I was particularly impressed by the sources, both in terms on personal interviews and the digging of really obscure documents. Balanced, very well written and with great footnotes. Bruce Hoffman is right: "likely to become the standard text on this subject".

Well written and researched. It is what we can expect if we don't stay on top of things going on around us. We have a way of life in the United States and if we don't want it changed we need to stay up to date on these events and plans.

Important title on a topical subject

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2012

In a clearly written volume, marshalling a wealth of evidence presented logically and parsimoniously, Lorenzo Vidino traces the rise of Brotherhood offshoots in Western Europe and North America. While enjoying operational independence from the Middle East, the New Brothers in the West share historical, financial, personal, organizational, and ideological ties to the parent structure. They have fostered a strong Islamic identity among the growing Muslim community in the West and gained acceptance as representatives of local Muslim communities in their dealing with the Western governments. These aims have been pursued in spite of their dogmatic flexibility, which allows the Brothers to use different, even contradictory, discourses for different audiences, and the fact that their membership accounts for only a small fraction of Western Muslim communities and no democratic mechanism allowed those communities to appoint them as portavoce. The volume discusses Great Britain, Germany, and the United States, documenting the activities of the Brotherhood in these countries, together with their relationships with these governments and other Muslim organizations. Case studies of France, Belgium, and the Netherlands would have mapped more thoroughly the work of Brotherhood offshoots in Europe, as all these countries are different to some degree so that the reasons why only three cases were selected remain understated. The discussion of the Brotherhood's acceptance of violence is particularly useful, highlighting the fact that, although the organization has consistently denounced terrorism, its condemnations have not been unconditional. Indeed, the Brotherhood declared that the acts of those who resist an occupation "are justified both morally and under Islamic law" (211), an argument that applies to Palestine, Chechnya, Kashmir, and Iraq. Vidino proposes "a policy of cautious and informed engagement" (225) as the most appropriate course of action for Western governments. Filling a gap by examining an understudied topic of relevance for the post-9/11 world, this volume is a key addition to the literature and a must read for students, academics and practitioners who are interested in understanding an organization that has assumed the role of spokesperson for the ever growing Western Muslim community.

Best and complete account of the Brotherhood

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2010

No written work comes close to what Vidino has accomplished with this landmark book. This is, without a doubt, the most complete and reasonable account of what may be the world's most important movement - the Muslim Brotherhood. Unlike other academics and commentators who focus solely on the Middle East, Vidino takes a hard look at the movement's activities in the West that manages to be both investigative and scholarly. The amount of original, primary research in this book is impressive. And, as the other reviewer noted, he does all this without being (a) an apologist or (b) a right-wing fanatic - the two categories of people who seem to do all the talking and writing about the Brotherhood in the West these days.

Aside from the information and analysis itself, Vidino's work is elegantly written. Each chapter is substantial enough to stand alone, but they also integrate effectively as a whole.
