The increasing involvement of communities in counter-terrorism in the UK and Egypt in the 90s and the early years of the new millennium signals a shift from government to governance in these two countries. This article is an exploration of some of the key governance-related challenges and opportunities in involving mainstream and non-violent extremist Islamic movements in combating jihadist-linked terrorism. We discuss the complexity of engaging communities and moderate and non-violent extremist movements, emphasizing the importance of engaging communities in combating jihadist terrorism. We explore some key Islamist movements from an historical and ideological perspective and look at the involvement of these movements in violence and its prevention. We argue that UK policies in that respect have developed out of ideas of psychological and community resilience. Examples are drawn from the practical involvement of communities, including members of ‘moderate’ and of non-violent ‘extremist’ movements in combating terrorism.

在 90 年代和新千年初期，英国和埃及的社区越来越多地参与反恐，标志着这两个国家从政府到治理的转变。本文探讨了让主流和非暴力极端主义伊斯兰运动参与打击与圣战有关的恐怖主义的一些与治理相关的关键挑战和机遇。我们讨论了让社区参与以及温和和非暴力极端主义运动的复杂性，强调让社区参与打击圣战恐怖主义的重要性。我们从历史和意识形态的角度探讨了一些主要的伊斯兰运动，并研究了这些运动对暴力及其预防的参与。我们认为，英国在这方面的政策是从心理和社区复原力的理念中发展而来的。例子来自社区的实际参与，包括“温和”和非暴力“极端主义”运动的成员参与打击恐怖主义。
