However, states differ as to how they respond to terrorist threat. This article explores the effects of counter‐terrorism on the Canadian domestic arena. The democratic and multicultural nature of Canadian society has raised a number of questions about the capacity of individual rights and group identities to prosper within the confines of counter‐terrorist legislation and actions. During counter‐terrorism campaigns, states impinge more heavily on their citizens and require individuals and groups to cede a degree of their freedoms in order to provide leverage in combating terrorists. The dilemma for democratic states is to respond to terrorism within the domestic framework of constitutional regulations and the rule of law. This dilemma is something that all liberal democratic countries will face as terrorist networks spread internationally and seek to destabilize cherished civic institutions and societies.Le terrorisme moderne représente une menace énorme pour tous les États du monde, qu'ils soient dirigistes ou démocratiques. La différence réside par contre dans la façon dont ceux‐ci réagissent à cette menace. Cet article examine les effets du contre‐terrorisme sur la scène canadienne. Le caractère démocratique et multiculturel de la société canadienne a porté à se demander si les droits individuels et les identités collectives pouvaient s'épanouir dans le contexte d'une législation et de mesures destinées à contrer le terrorisme. Lorsque l'État mène une campagne anti‐terroriste, il empiète davantage sur l'espace du citoyen en exigeant de ce dernier ainsi que des différents groupes qu'ils abandonnent une partie de leurs libertés pour lui permettre de mieux combattre les terroristes. Pour un État démocratique, le dilemme est qu'il lui faut attaquer le terrorisme sans faire fi des prescriptions constitutionnelles et de la primauté du droit. C'est là un dilemme auquel tous les pays démocratiques libéraux vont devoir faire face à mesure que les réseaux terroristes prennent une dimension plus internationale et cherchent à déstabiliser les sociétés et les institutions civiques qui leur sont chères.

I employ postmodern concepts to explore the diversity of a female nationalist agency through processes and symbols of national liberation and Sharia personal status law. How are representations of masculinity and femininity articulated within these frameworks of a subordinate nationalism? Is national liberation an effective forum for negotiating the diversity of women's agency in the nation? What are the distinct constraints and opportunities of feminisms that are implicated in national liberation struggle, religious contestation, and conditions of acute international conflict? Finally, what are the implications of this case study for a broader revision of feminist theory and practice?
