The Rage
The early twenty-first century has been defined by a rise in Islamist radicalisation and a concurrent rise in far-right extremism. This book explores the interaction between the 'new' far right and Islamist extremists and considers the consequences for the global terror threat.
Julia Ebner argues that far-right and Islamist extremist narrativesβ"The West is at war with Islam" and "Muslims are at war with the West"βcomplement each other perfectly, making the two extremes rhetorical allies and building a spiralling torrent of hatredβThe Rage.
By looking at extremist movements both online and offline, she shows how far-right and Islamist extremists have succeeded in penetrating each other's echo chambers as a result of their mutually useful messages.
Based on first-hand interviews, this book introduces readers to the world of reciprocal radicalisation and the hotbeds of extremism that have developedβwith potentially disastrous consequencesβin the UK, Europe, and the US.
