Abstract: The first part of the article provides an overview of the efforts, initiatives, and contributions led by the Muslim World to confront the threats of violent extremism. I explore these efforts by highlighting contemporary key initiatives in two major categories: (1) global cooperation and (2) national strategies. The second part of the article provides an analysis of what is required to support the Muslim World in its efforts in countering violent extremism and what is the best approach to integrate these efforts into the wider global commitment to defeat violent extremism. These initiatives need continued support, and I argue that non-Muslim nations must continue to consider the Muslim World a strategic partner in the global efforts to prevent and counter violent extremism.
