Countering Militant Islamist Radicalisation on the
Violent radicalisation on the Internet is at the nexus of two key the democratisation of communications driven by user generated content on the Internet; and the democratisation of strategic violence driven by mass-casualty non-state terrorism. How best can we capitalise on the first trend to counter the second?
This book examines this question using primary materials drawn from web forum conversations, al Qaeda documents, texts of leading Islamist thinkers, opinion polls, policy documents and interviews with technology and security specialists.
As this book argues, the answer to violent radicalisation on the Internet lies not in censorship of the Internet, but in the user driven Internet revolution.
