Muhammad's research addresses the following broad research question:
Disengagement from terrorism in Indonesia: How former terrorists transform their identities and reintegrate into society?
The disengagement from the extremist groups is the transitional process which often requires the former violent extremists to face their past self and identity before being able to move forward to establish new roles and identity in the new social relationships away from their previous extremist networks. Thus, this project will address the identity transformation during the process of disengagement and social reintegration among the former terrorist convicts in Indonesia with specific focus on how they negotiate their identities in dealing with their past involvement in terrorism and social challenges such as stigma or social exclusion. Studying this issue will allow us to understand the complex relationship between personal and social factors that determines the successful struggle to reintegrate into society after leaving terrorism behind.
