Islamic Radicalization: Radicalization and Islamist Ideas

islamic radicalization: By failing to acknowledge the threat coming from the radicalization of individuals and the presence of more than 100 right-wing groups throughout Canada, we have blinded ourselves to the possibility of something like this ever happening, according to Rabble. There is no question that Islamic radicalization and violence is a threat that must be addressed in Canada. It's as if this phenomenon is strictly confined to individuals who have adopted extremist Islamist ideas like those of ISIS. Yet, this narrow conception of radicalization has, without a doubt, allowed for the atrocities in the Quebec City mosque to take place. Governments at all levels have mobilized to address the risk posed by international Islamic extremist groups, and the academic study of the phenomenon has exploded. Apart from a few researchers, many Canadian academics have very rarely addressed this phenomenon. However, the way Canadian society has addressed radicalization in these past few years has neglected this other source of radicalized individuals the ones who claim supremacist, nationalistic and/or far-right values.
