Salafism or, as it is often referred to, Wahhabism, is seen in the west as a fundamentalist interpretation of Islam that condones the subjugation of women and fuels Jihadist extremism. This view depicts Salafi women as victims of a fanatical version of Islam. Why then are growing numbers of women in Britain are choosing to embrace Salafi's literalist beliefs? In Dr Anabel Inge's book The Making of a Salafi Muslim Woman - Paths to Conversion she gained unprecedented access to Salafi womens groups in the UK to provide an in-depth account of their lives.
