The extremist landscape in the Netherlands has developed strongly in recent years. Where in the public image the emphasis has long been on jihadism, other forms of extremism have come to the fore in recent years. Since the outbreak of the corona pandemic in 2019 the increasing hardening and division of the social and political debate are visible. Anti-government sentiments are more explicitly expressed publicly, for example in relation to the corona- and nitrogen policy. Moreover, more people seem to radicalize online under the influence of conspiracy theorists and/or radicals- and far-right groups.

The right-wing extremist threat dissected
To prevent important developments and incidents in the current
To be able to interpret the Dutch right-wing extremist landscape
can be divided into three categories,
namely: the classic right-wing extremism (including the
neonazism), intellectual right-wing extremism (for example
Erkenbrand) and accelerationism. Classic neo-Nazi
organizations such as Blood & Honour, Combat 18 in Racial
Volunteer Force hardly seems to play a role at the moment
meaning to play in the Netherlands and intellectual right-wing extremism has not come into the picture in the last six months.
In previous DTNs, attention has already been paid to the
accelerationisme, that in a relatively short time from the United
States has also taken root in other western countries.
Supporters of this right-wing extremist ideology
glorify and justify terrorist violence so as to
accelerate a race war. Because of this they want

a white one (As a result, they want to create chaos in society in which the current political system can be replaced by a white one) As a result, they want to create chaos in society in which the current political system can be replaced by a white one. Within the right-wing extremist spectrum in the Netherlands, most

accelerationist ideas are propagated. De
estimate remains that a few may be subject to a threat of violence
exit. In particular, account should be taken of
small to medium attacks with regular
means of attack, like stitch- and firearms and explosives.
Given the psychosocial problems that various
accelerationists wrestle with, their youthfulness and the low
organizational degree, the question is to what extent they
actually be able to perform an attack with some complexity
prepare and execute.
Previous criminal investigation into The Base in the Netherlands
led end 2020 until the arrest and later until the conviction
of two young men. In december 2021 condemned the
court in Rotterdam these men from 20 en 21 years before
participation in a terrorist organization and incitement to a

terrorist crime. Both got 24 months
imprisonment, whose 18 months probation, en een
community service. The 21-year-old man was acquitted of the
preparing a terrorist crime. He suggested in a
chat room that he would possess a document containing the
cycling routes of Prime Minister Rutte. However, such a document is
not found in his possession. The 21-year-old man would end
november 2020 start training in defense,
which was prevented by his arrest. After the arrests
from end 2020 no more arrests have been made of young
Dutch accelerationists.
In recent months, it has become apparent that the differences between the
diverse groups within the broad right-wing extremist
online scene rather be covered up than magnified as long as
the core or ultimate goal of the right-wing extremist
ideas but still standing, namely the white one

However, it fits well with the right-wing extremist conspiracy theory

and language would not protect. As a result, there is more

there is already some mixing with right-wing extremists.
Interest from right-wing extremist angle for
firearms
The police are investigating criminal online expressions of
members and administrators of accelerationist accounts and
chat groups. In these circles there appears to be a great fascination for
all kinds of weapons to exist. On Wednesday 9 februari 2022 was
after an official message from the AIVD, a 33-year-old suspect in

Zeeland arrested for having a 3D printed semi-automatic firearm. The guy did online
various right-wing extremist and racist expressions and
was also in possession of right-wing extremist flags and other
memorabilia. This arrest therefore seems to be an illustration of
the observation that right-wing extremists are increasingly
are more likely to be interested in 3D-printed firearms. This is
worrisome because this is the threshold to actually committing
van (terrorist) can lower violence. The National Unit
of the Police is currently conducting a broader investigation
to 3D-printed firearms in the Netherlands, which mainly
occur within the (non-ideological) criminal circuit. Bee
the police receive several signals that subjects
be or try to be a member within the right-wing extremist landscape
to become a shooting club or otherwise interested
have in weapons and in training with them.
Concerns about the appeal of the armed forces to
right-wing extremist youth
The MIVD noted in its annual report in 2020 that some
right-wing extremist young people in the Netherlands it attractive
find work for the armed forces. the earlier
said 21-year-old man seems to be a new example of this
zijn. Radicalization within elements of the armed forces is
Risky, in particular with regard to access to and training with
weapons. In recent years, there have been several
examples of defense employees who radicalized and
used or threatened violence. The attraction
of the armed forces on right-wing extremist young people is too
to declare. Thus, the external presentation of accelerationist
groups very militaristic inspired. Values and standards that
apply within the armed forces, like camaraderie, courage and
fidelity, are also highly regarded by many right-wing extremists.
There is also within parts of the right-wing extremist movement
a strong affinity with weapons. A relatively new phenomenon
is that in accelerationist online networks becomes
advised to use the defense equipment for gaining
from combat- and weapon skills to physically represent

right-wing extremist movement is often very young. Being

right-wing extremist sentiment.
Little enthusiasm for right-wing extremists for the time being

a 'foreign legion' would be set up. Soon were

can attract right-wing extremists in the Netherlands in Ukraine. This wouldn't be a new phenomenon.
Between 2014 en 2021 according to scientists some fought
Dutch right-wing extremists in Ukraine, some at the
Ukrainian, others at the separatist/Russian
battle groups. If necessary, participants in the
violent conflict can end up in right-wing extremist units. When they returned to the Netherlands, they would

For the time being, however, it is unlikely that large numbers

More and more openly
Over the past few decades, it has become radical online- and extreme right-wing landscape has taken off. In addition, racist and dehumanizing statements are no longer only made under a pseudonym in a corner of the internet on a web forum like Stormfront., but increasingly openly shared on social media. This fact sheet has been prepared to gain more insight into this online world and its significance for the offline world. The online world fulfills various functions in this regard: recruiting, generate attention, mobiliseren, spread ideology, finding like-minded people, ideological justification, trolling and doxing, undermining social cohesion and government and entertainment. Although the online range of known physical (offline) radically- and extreme right-wing groups is relatively small and the threat of violence has been low for years, is there a continuation of a previously observed "threatening culture". Racist and dehumanizing messages are not distributed from major channels, but rather shared bottom-up by a network of individual users. These increased racist comments and hate speech contribute to further polarization and undermining of social cohesion, especially when it comes to dehumanization and increasing hostility towards groups with a migrant background. The online landscape is constantly changing. The information in the fact sheet is a snapshot of September 2020. We update this fact sheet periodically.
In the Netherlands, several convictions were pronounced in relation to right-wing terrorism. One defendant, for example, was convicted by a court of appeal for preparing to commit murder with terrorist intent, illegal possession of a weapon and ammunition, with the intent to commit a terrorist offence or of preparing or facilitating such an offence. He was associated with a Facebook profile of the group Anti-Terreur Brigade (ATB, ‘Anti-Terror Brigade’) that the court considered a right-wing extremist association, within which violence against Muslims was considered justified and people were trained to use violence. This group also discussed actions against left-wing extremists. According to the defendant, he was the administrator of the group’s Facebook page and partly responsible for the communication on the page. He also actively recruited new members for the group, based, among other things, on their willingness to ??efight against Muslims??f. The defendant also possessed a firearm, which he stated in a chat conversation was suitable for shooting left-wing protagonists. The court sentenced the defendant to three years’ imprisonment, partially suspended for 12 months, with a probation period of three years.
Hungarian right-wing extremist organisations often consist of a hard core of five to ten people and highly fluctuating membership. They maintain connections primarily in neighbouring countries, but also with like-minded groups in other EU Member States, including Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the UK. In Hungary, right-wing extremist organisations focus on organising rallies and ‘marches’ to mark anniversaries of historical events. During such events, behaviour, symbols and chanting disparaging political, religious or ethnic minorities has been observed. For example, it has been reported that neo-Nazis from different parts of Europe gather each February in Budapest to mark what they call the ‘Day of Honour’. Music and concerts play a key role in providing coherence to and propagating neo-Nazi groups across Europe. The Oi! and ‘Rock against Communism’ (RAC) music genres are reported to be one of the main unifying elements. With their aggressiveness, they constitute one of the vectors of expression of neo-Nazi or skinhead groups and pose as an ‘underground’ culture. Right-wing extremist groups try to circumvent bans in one country by organising or attending meetings or concerts in other countries. In Belgium, for example, these concerts can bring together several dozens or even several hundred participants and also attract neo-Nazi audiences from abroad, including Germany, Hungary,the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK.
This report is a quick scan of the municipality of Arnhem to extreme right. This makes research
clear in what form the extreme right may or may not manifest in Arnhem (both online

The NCTV published over the right-wing extremist violence threat since the first appearance of the Terrorist Threat Assessment Netherlands (DTN) in 2005. It is widely considered
threat to all developments which could potentially lead to terrorist violence. The history, but also the actuality, showed that terrorist violence is not confined to
jihadisme. In the National Counterterrorism Strategy 2016-2020 states that right-wing extremism, the attention of the NCTV.1 The right-wing extremism nevertheless became the
imaging is often obscured by the Jihadism. This is largely understandable because the jihadist threat of violence, in any case in the Netherlands, the last decade
determining factor has been the threat of terrorism.
The NCTV also published for this reason in recent years, several studies phenomenon in terms of Jihadism (For example, "Minors at ISIS 'from 2017). New domestic and international events and developments in the field of right-wing extremism and right-terrorism cause the phenomenon has gained in recent years of relevance to the threat.
This research report focuses on risk and protection related to discriminatory incidents at mosques. From the book "Islamophobia and Discriminatie'1 already revealed that the broader picture of growing Islamophobia in the Netherlands merged with the incidence of violence and incidents at mosques. The number of registered cases showed a continuity of periods when it peaked, depending on the circumstances. This was the case after the attacks on the WTC in New York 11 september 2001 and after the murder of van Gogh in November 2004. In 2014 were asked first mosques themselves about their experiences in this gebied.2 Combined with data from other sources we Although this did not complete but a plausible picture of discriminatory aggression and violence against mosques in Netherlands. This picture is summarized as follows. Of the estimated 475 Mosques in the Netherlands over a third (39 %) to make in the past ten years, had with one or often more occurrences of discriminatory aggression and violence. Destruction, with discriminatory graffiti slogans, (attempts at) arson, threatening letters and hanging a pig's head are among the most common incidents. Some of these mosques made such incidents
at least annually or even more often,. 30% of the mosques has experienced no incidents of discriminatory aggression and violence. From 29% of the mosques is not known whether they have had these experiences.
This report contains three studies on the aforementioned questions, conducted by Dutch, Danish and British researchers. The three research groups selected each with its own accent. The Dutch report mainly focuses on the interactions between parents and children, Danish report focuses on the development of young people and the way it is influenced by people and organizations that try to win the young people for their ideology, while the British report situates the radicalization process in the context of the social and political context. The interviews make clear that there is no linear path of certain types of family or parenting practices radicalization. In some cases, only the interviewees indicate the family as the main source of radicalization and de-radicalization. Concerning the latter: own choice (‘agency’), imprisonment and trial, so as a main reason given. The fact that the family was mentioned by almost anyone as a direct cause of radicalization remains that many conversations were reports of various problems that occurred in family atmosphere. In about two-thirds of the families was talk of separation, an absent father, lack of emotional support, psychiatric problems, sickness or death; in some families, there was violence and abuse. We conclude that such circumstances do not explain the radicalization process itself, but it can be a fertile ground for. The anger, for example, young people feel about the role their (absentee) father in the upbringing played -or just did not play- can make them more susceptible to recruitment by extremist organizations. But it seems that there are always other factors must be at play, like the feeling of humiliation or disappointment in the institutions of society. Although each of the stories is unique recorded in this project, precisely in the complex interplay of factors and conditions, signs are quite a few routes to and from radicalization that contain common elements. In this report, these routes are ideally typical journey's' named, a series of transitions that young people go through in their development from childhood to adulthood that usually a lot of navigational assistance required. The journey should not be seen as fixed patterns which fit any young radical by definition, but as an attempt to organization of the complex reality differently is put together for each young.

He also placed bombs at Norwegian government buildings which were also dead. The perpetrator acted out of ideological motives: he wanted to put an end to the Islamization of Norway and those he held responsible for this strike. His attack was political in character. He turned not only against a young multicultural generation and the future party framework among them, but also against the institutions of the Norwegian democracy, against the basic values of diversity and openheid.2 As far as the shooter did his deeds as loner. However, he is a member in his motives and opinions of a wider, especially virtual network dedicated to Islam / Muslims. This is evident from the sheet prepared by him and widespread manifesto with its numerous references. This is an Islamophobic ideology globally shared by many people and movements and spread, especially on new media. An important part of this (Virtual) movement not only points to the Islam / Muslims in the construction of an enemy image, but also keeps the social democracy responsible for the alleged Islamization of Europe. This ideology comes in different variants. There are extremist versions, extreme versions and moderate variants.
In the public discourse dominating the Netherlands after 1945, anti-Semitism and racism – two of the basic elements of (“classical”) right-wing extremism – have tended to be seen as uncharacteristic of Dutch society.1According to many experts, this is attributed to Dutch experiences in the Second World War, as the Netherlands saw the largest percentage of national Jewish populations in Europe killed, after Poland. A guilt complex related to Dutch behaviour during the War has led to what is often called “the basic consensus” on what is “bad” and “good” in Dutch society.
