With the influx of public interest on the #ProudBoys and other #RightWingExtremist groups, we at ICCT wanted to highlight some crucial analysis done by past contributors on political violence and the far-right (1/6 of a thread on #RWEX research)
Samantha Kutner (@ashkenaz89) wrote an in-depth analysis of the Proud Boys, to provide insight on how broader themes of self-categorization, precarity, and deliberate provocation in crypto-fascist extremist organisations manifest themselves (2/6) icct.nl/publication/sw…
Jacob Ware's (@Jacob_A_Ware) detailed and comparative analysis of terrorist manifestoes used by the violent Far-Right highlights common themes and key implications for counterterrorism scholars and practitioners (3/6) icct.nl/publication/te…
1/5 What does it mean to mainstream gender across counter-#terrorism research and practice? (note that gender is not synonymous with women) A thread on ICCT's recent publications on male supremacism and the need for gender-sensitive analysis.
2/5 Our perspective on the Hanau terror attack explores the links between male supremacism and #FarRight violence, and notes how these links should not be trivialised by labelling attackers as incels: icct.nl/publication/ma…
3/5 More generally, how has male supremacism contributed to terrorist attacks? @alexdibranco argues that it is a distinct form of right-wing extremist ideology that has only recently entered public awareness: icct.nl/publication/ma…
[Thread] Looking for webinar resources in these socially distant times? We've compiled a list of webinar recordings from the past week featuring ICCT fellows sharing their expertise on counter-#terrorism! (1/4)
And we're live! Click the link to join our Live Briefing on al-Qaeda and the Islamic State in West Africa with @TheSoufanCenter's @ColinPClarke and our own @Julie_Coleman. Cooperation or competition? Looking forward to an engaging Q&A to follow! zoom.us/j/106685184
To kick us off, @ColinPClarke drives home the point that these groups are not monolithic entities—regardless of what’s happening in the Sahel, something entirely different could be happening in other local contexts, like Southeast Asia. Join in here: zoom.us/j/106685184
.@ColinPClarke: In recent years, AQ has done a good job of staying under the radar—where it likes to be. ISIS has borne the brunt of the West: this has allowed AQ to effectively ingratiate itself in local communities in this region.
In recent years—as IS’ regional affiliate, Islamic State in Greater Sahara has risen—the Western Sahel has experienced an unprecedented rise in terrorist violence, with more than 4,000 deaths reported in 2019. But, al-Qaeda’s presence remains strong...
Now—with both groups vying for resources, support, and territory in West Africa—will al-Qaeda and the Islamic State compete or cooperate? Register here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
