This study explores how legislative and policy responses to religious extremism in Kenya have had disproportionate impacts on the freedom of religion or belief, particularly for religious minorities.

Through legal analysis and case studies, the book highlights patterns of discrimination, securitization of religious identity, and systemic challenges that undermine the protection of fundamental rights.
