Op 22 juli 2011 Norwegian Islamophobic rechtsextremist1 founded massacred young social democrats on the island of Utoya in Oslo. There were dozens of dead and wounded. 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.

a new phenomenon. The ISPR brings an annual report with a date
picture of the nature and extent of radicalization, including the extreme right.
This report deals with youths and young adults who have become involved in extreme right-wing movements and then got out again. It has been established on the basis of research in which taking one's own life stories of the individuals concerned a central place. The extreme right in the Netherlands has in recent decades been subject to major change. While the extreme right is largely manifested through political parties in the eighties and nineties, This political orientation was the last decade especially
reflected on the internet and also in a more diffuse way street activism.
Politicians present themselves to their statements about ethnic or religious
to account for minority groups to court? Or is this
accountability to take place solely in the public debate?
This question can also be raised for cartoonists,
columnists, or comedians. This is an important social
question: where does the boundary of free speech
and start of the ban on discrimination?
That limit is not static, but depending on time, place and circumstances.
In the Netherlands plays this clash of rights expressly
in the legal prosecution of PVV leader Geert Wilders. Begin
2010 is the persecution ordered by the Amsterdam Court. De
lawsuit is of great importance for the determination of the boundary between
two fundamental rights in the Netherlands, but does not determine everything. Likewise
factor is that Netherlands to international human rights treaties
has committed and must abide by the Charter of Fundamental Rights
of the European Union.
Related to this discussion is to find and identify the
border between victim and perpetrator in incidents in which racism or discrimination
plays a role. In everyday practice shows role reversal
easily to be able to take place. Muslims have been victims
of Islamophobic violence, but radical Muslims may also be offenders
terrorist offenses. Sometimes commit extreme right youth violence,
because they have been victims of earlier immigrant violence.
In the aforementioned example of Geert Wilders this goes double

Since the second half of the nineties, the Internet develops at a rapid pace. For anyone who wants it is possible to be connected to the world wide web. Rapid technological advances since its inception in 1997 also affect (been) on the work of the Internet Discrimination Hotline (MDI). In the early years the MDI received only a few reports, recent years that number was well above the thousand. From these reports over the years, a number of trends observed. One is a rapid increase in the number of reports of discrimination on interactive Internet, such as discussion forums
and interactive blogs. A second trend is the high number of criminal Without prejudice expressions on extreme right websites. This finding is supported by a recent report by the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance of the Council of Europe (ECRI), which shows that in the Netherlands the main growth of right-wing extremism, especially among young people, place in non-political movements that informal, primarily through digital means of communication, organized. These data have to do MDI prompted research into the extent and nature of the extreme right on the Dutch part of the Internet, with a focus on the discriminatory content on these websites.

4.2 Right-wing extremism and the extreme right
As in previous years the extreme right and extreme right environment continues to be characterized by fragmentation and disintegration in Netherlands. At some public events (between the 70 en 100 participants) drew several right-wing groups collectively without a growing unity exists. Youngsters who publicly manifest with right-extremist statements and symbols remain primarily a law and order problem. A development right-extremist terrorism is not addressed.
Since 2007 observable assertive stance towards left-wing anti-fascists has 2008 not led to large-scale confrontations. In 2008 took right-wing extremists themes and resources about which previously mainly been used by leftist activists. Examples include action such as cracking and 'tails' and issues such as protesting (putative) animal cruelty or oppression by the State and the police.

Fortuyn's famous slogan "I say what I think" has not in recent years
only gained widespread imitation, but also led to fierce discussions
about the limits of freedom of expression. Begin 2006, during

the shape of a bomb with lit fuse. This cartoon was shown 2008

heated discussions about the limits of freedom of expression. Now That
which borders have shifted and that more can be said than before
seems clear. A striking example is the uproar over the
police raid in May 2008 a Dutch cartoonist 'Gregory
Shot in the neck "which for years has been criticized Islam. The Arrest
the cartoonist, who was suspected of the prohibitions on discrimination
to have violated, aroused great public and political outrage.
Cartoons should be able to, as was widely argued, regardless of
their content. The question of where the limits of free expression than
it should be, remained in the background. However, in discussions
in recent years increasingly argued that the border should
be drawn at inciting violence.
But, as others say, without inciting violence large
harm be done, because the expanded freedoms of expression
influence on the occurrence of intolerance and discrimination. As argument
for this position are indications for a relatively high level
Islamophobia cited in Netherlands. From a survey showed
that more than half of the Dutch, non-Muslim school age
fourteen- to sixteen year olds are negative relative

This is the ninth violence report of Monitoring Racism & Extremism, conducted by the Anne Frank Foundation and Leiden University. The project is supported by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport. Seven times these reports were published as part of a wide reporting and a time, in 2003, The violence statistics prompted to issue an autonomous publication in the form of a cahier.
This is the first time that we spend an autonomous digital reporting out on this topic. Direct reasons for this are the launch of the website of the Racism & Extremism in 20061 and the successful cooperation with the National Police (KLPD). This co-operation makes it possible to obtain better holding of material in a short time. As a result, it was possible to achieve a good, systematized reporting figures 2006 to come. We think it makes sense to now publish this report and not to wait until a new wide reporting, which is expected to end 2008 will appear.
This report contains our report of investigation of racist and extreme right-wing violence in the year 2006.

This is the report of an investigation into the identity of Lonsdale youth in the municipality Werkendam. Following this study, the structural problems of discrimination and right-wing utterances by young people from this town. The study was developed in collaboration with Bureau Discriminatiezaken Central and West Brabant and Palette, support center for multicultural development in North Brabant. The study sought to understand the identity of Lonsdale youth. Identity is constructed in different ways and by different stakeholders. It consists of ascriptive and zelfascriptieve aspects, that is to say, the identity which people attach respectively to others and to itself. In this study both aspects have been examined. For this, a qualitative study was conducted, in which use is made of data-triangulation. Data obtained from documents, observations and interviews are combined used to answer the research question.
There are a total 66 newspaper articles analyzed to investigate what image newspapers have the identity of Lonsdale youth. It has emerged that the newspapers construct a stereotype of Lonsdalers, being adapted in more extreme or more moderate sentence depends on the social context. The stereotype is that Lonsdale youth have negative views about immigrants and that they feel threatened by them. In addition, the Lonsdalers attributed extreme right nationalist sympathies and feelings.
With the Racism & Extremism seeks various forms of racism, extremism and anti-Semitism - and reactions to these phenomena - to
monitor and issue periodic reports. First we will look at the phenomena: how do racism, extremism and anti-Semitism in the Dutch society. One could look at the expression, such as politically organized racism, and to the exclusion form, eg catering discrimination. Some symptoms are limited by their nature not to the Dutch territory, such as discrimination on the Internet. In such cases, the extra-territorial context is taken into account. Fixed pattern in the monitoring study is the attempt as much as possible to identify different kinds of victims and perpetrators. This exercise can relate to both natives and foreigners, including the latter let divide again in various minority groups. The response to racism, extremism and anti-Semitism can be different in nature, from educational to legal. Usually the nature of the response depending on the appearance of the discrimination, the category of victims and the background of the perpetrators. In addition, some forms of response to coexist or even synergistic. Regular monitoring of the phenomena, victims, the perpetrators and the response serves several purposes. In this way we try to contribute to the understanding of the fight against racism, extremism and anti-Semitism. Furthermore, accumulation of knowledge rather than the fixed system and the periodicity of the study. Finally, there is an image obtained by developments in the long run and makes suggestions based on past experience for future solutions.

The problem of racist and extremist manifestations among young people in the year 2004 and especially after the murder of Theo van Gogh - 2 november 2004 - Boomed. In the first few months of 2005 have called Lonsdale youth stood almost daily in the media interest. It is a well-known, but to a much lesser extent known phenomenon: many questions to nature, extent and dynamics must be left with no answer.
About the name 'Lonsdale youth' has been much to do. Lonsdale is a British clothing brand that is popular among ravers, even those with extreme right, racist orientation. These cronies commit their clothing brands - not just Lonsdale, but also Pitbull and Hooligan - often wear flashy, so that these brands will act as an external characteristic of these young people. Extreme right, racist cronies were then apparently become so iconic that a reversal has occurred: with 'Lonsdale youth' were not so gradually youth indicated that Lonsdale wear, but the extreme right, racist young ones. Given the seriousness and extent of incidents which these young people attracted attention is the contagion understandable. The well-known sociologist Goffman would speak of "a spoiled identity '. As a result, many young people, however, are also affected wrongly, to say nothing of the clothing brand Lonsdale, that can not be held responsible for abuses of those who wear Lonsdale, making the brand has acquired a negative stigma. Some are of the opinion that therefore should rest a taboo on the name Lonsdale youth. There's something to be said, but negative imaging is to influence our mind and not simply to conceal by giving it another name. We expect that the name Lonsdale youth of limited duration will be, though it is now impossible to foresee exactly when the expiration date has expired.

Iconic within the extreme right in the Netherlands are currently unorganized

largest youth subculture in Netherlands. The vast majority of young people that Lonsdale
wear manifests itself without political ideology and loose connections. Although the
problems they create are mainly in the field of public order, , the fact
that some of them dress uniform and uses right-wing extremist symbols, of

Op 2 november 2004 Theo van Gogh was murdered. The perpetrator shot Van Gogh, stabbed him several times with a knife and left a threatening letter skewered to his chest. On the run, he shot at police, which gave chase. Finally the perpetrator was shot in the leg and he could be arrested. In the first two weeks after the murder it became clear that it was not in the case of the killer acting alone, but that there was a network of radical Muslims, where a considerable and concrete threat of terror. As a result of this threat were several MPs
be secured. Two members of parliament were to be even in strictly guarded, secret locations. Both the murder and the perceived threat of terror impulses for racist, anti-Muslim sentiments, as well as expressions that were a reaction to those sentiments. This was accompanied by a fierce series of diverse and violent incidents that increased sharply in the middle of November and then by the end of November again to ebb somewhat away. Gradually a variety of far-right statements more and more image.
The Monitoring racism and the extreme right seeks various forms of racism, extreme right and discrimination - as well as response to these phenomena - to monitor and issue periodic reports. The initiative for this project is mid-nineties adopted by the Leiden University.
Since the fourth report, the monitoring project is run jointly by Leiden University and the Anne Frank Foundation. The usefulness of periodic monitoring report is diverse. It is based on a fixed yardstick 'the balance of the principal manifestations and incidents of racial discrimination, racism and right-wing extremism, and the development of strategies to combat. The reports are politicians, directors and representatives of civil society put in a position to reflect on the problems and come to solving strategies. The reports can contribute by their systematic and periodic character of accumulation of knowledge and understanding. It will also provide insight into developments that occur in the longer term. That applies not only to the recent period but also for the future. The monitor can also contribute to early identification of relevant, new developments. Finally, the report could be helpful in answering the numerous practical questions on this subject from
