"It is critical that governments now work with the Muslim community," said the Swede Magnus Ranstorp, serving as research director of the Center for Asymmetric Threat Studies (CATS) at the Swedish National Defence College has twenty years experience leading to counter-terrorism and deradicaliseringsprojecten. "Without help from within the fight against radicalization and terror can not be won."
