The paper explores some of the reasons behind the apparent rise in Islamic radicalism in the United Kingdom over the last few years. By using Fukuyama's and Huntington's theories, the author argues that a spiritual void coupled with a desire to belong to something ‘greater’, has led young British Muslims towards Islamism. In the second part, the author explores some of the measures undertaken by British authorities to combat Islamic militancy. The paper concludes with recommendations as to what could improve relations between mainstream British society and the Muslim community in the hope of reducing Islamic militancy.
