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.

The police has launched a regional digital form that victims (anonymously) can fill out online to declare so-called hate crime. The authorities have also conducted campaigns to encourage victims do report incidents involving discrimination and violation of equal rights.

Daarnaast worden de trends op deze thema’s tussen 2010 en 2012 weergegeven. The report is intended, inter alia as a basis for the educational activities of the Anne Frank House. Furthermore, it also serves as periodic reporting to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OVSE) en de Europese Unie (EU).
In de periode 2004 – 2010 the Anne Frank House gave in collaboration with Leiden University's annual Racism & Extremisme uit. Over 2010 en 2011 is door het Verwey-Jonker Instituut, commissioned by the Anne Frank Foundation, uses a different method of data collection and reporting of anti-Semitic and racist incidents and extreme right violence. This method means that the statistical picture in this report is based on data from the Dutch police (collected in the BVH, de Basis Voorziening Handhaving) en het Openbaar Ministerie (collected by the Scientific Research- en Documentatiecentrum (WODC) in OMDATA).

In november 2004 is the town of Uden in England a few days international news after three underage boys a Molotov cocktail through a window of the Islamic school Bedir cast, then the school is totally destroyed. This action is seen that anything is brewing among the youth in rural areas in the southeast of the country.
In 2008 Political scientist Loek Borrèl is also requested from his work as former director of the youth center De Pul in the same municipality to supervise these three youths during a 250 hour internship project. During this process has Borrèl many probing interviews about the reasons, the social and political views of these young people and their parents. It becomes clear to him that these young people take power away from the multicultural society. They point friendships with young people from other ethnic groups?, negative feelings towards Islam, are proud Netherlands and write 'the decline of our society’ to 'strangers'. Yet his conclusion that the three perpetrators had no racist motives, However, the act in themselves indeed. In line with this project starts Borrèl -in order of the Ministries of the Interior and Kingdom Relations-Justice- with an examination of the (rechts)radicalized and fundamentalist opinion formation among young people in North Brabant: "How do they get their ideas, how they support this and what are the main backgrounds of these opinions.’ Borrèl interviewed 52 young people he recruited through his network that he had acquired during the period he guided the arsonists of the Bedir school. Seven of them are now found in this book, preceded by an environment- and location plan, to clarify for readers who are not from this region.
The investigation into the extreme
right-wing movement and right-wing
extremist movement in the Netherlands is
the longest running investigation by the
AIVD and its predecessors. In this publication
the AIVD presents the current state of
affairs in the Netherlands based on the
results of that investigation.
The AIVD investigation shows that the
threat of right-wing extremism and the
extreme right to the democratic legal order
in the Netherlands is minimal. The
movement is characterised by a small
following, mutual disagreement and
personal animosity, ideologically different
views and organisational fragmentation.
Nonetheless, the threat attributed to
right-wing extremism and the extreme right
is often much more significant. A gap exists
between the actual threat and the perceived
threat.

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.

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

3.1 Right-wing extremism
Fragmentation, fragmentation and disagreement longtime characteristic of right-wing extremism in the Netherlands continued in 2009 further by. In comparison with 2008 are fewer public events such as demonstrations organized, partly due to the disappearance of several groups and movements. The number of participants was roughly stable (between seventy and ninety). Some demonstrations, such as in March 2009 in Maastricht en in september 2009 Venlo, had more participants, but this can be explained by these events took place in the border region and foreign
Participants drew. With respect to 2007 the estimated number of active supporters fell from approximately 600 to a small 300. The known links camps still

Ook in 2005 have called 'Lonsdale youth' almost daily in the media interest gestaan.1 Often the attention was given to interethnic confrontaties.2 This form of violence in the period 2002 tot 2006 increased steadily and this was due largely to the rising phenomenon of 'Lonsdale youth'. has tried various sides to the issue of extreme right
youth cope.
Since the mid-nineties attempts to gain systematic insight into the problem of racist and extreme right violence, in particular through the research Racism & Extremisme.1 In the last general report – eighth, appeared in December 2008 – the violent incidents were in the year 2007 under the microscope genomen.2 In this interim report, we will pay attention to racist and extreme right violence 2008. The central question of this report is: How did the racist and extreme right-wing violence has developed in 2008, in size and nature, and how does this relate to the image of the previous years?

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.

De brochure is april 2008 in a revised edition published.
Since the publication of ECRI's second report on the Netherlands 15 december 2000 Progress has been made in a number of areas discussed in the report. The Netherlands has signed various international instruments which are important for combating racism and racial discrimination, notably the 12th Protocol to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights. It also has an effect of criminal, civil and administrative law provisions against racism and racial discrimination occurred, which is shown by the in 2004 set higher maximum penalties for systematically committing a number of racist crimes. We are working on a network of professional agencies to combat racism throughout the country, in order to better protect victims of racism and racial discrimination and to monitor these phenomena.
Analysis of events in the village of Waspik, where a Liberian refugee family from March 2006 no less than eighteen months is racially bullied, intimidated and threatened by a group of local loiterers. Sinds 1996 there are several people or families, at least 3, of African origin village uitgepest.

After a peak in exceptional 2006, let the year 2007 a sharp decline in anti-Semitic incidents in the Netherlands. The number is even lower than the level of 2005. A gratifying result, where, however, caveats can be placed. Moreover, since the data for the annual reporting by the CIDI this year very late were complete, we suffice with a critical mid-term review. The full list of events can be found in the report next year on the years 2007 en 2008.

Fortuyn's famous slogan "I say what I think" has not in recent years

heated discussions about the limits of freedom of expression. Now That

police raid in May 2008 a Dutch cartoonist 'Gregory

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

Radicalisering
Compared with the previous period, there is a slight decrease occurred in the number of reports about possible Islamic radicalization among the Dutch population that was received by the police. Viewed over the last twelve months that image stable. These figures could be an indication of resignation and resignation of young Muslims in the Netherlands, reported on in the previous threat.
Where the number of reports of right-wing extremism has increased in comparison with the previous reporting period, is the image with respect to the use of force remained relatively stable. However, there is often talk of the threat of violence. It is notable that some of the fourteen (interetnische) violent incidents committed by or against young people. In most incidents right extremist individuals the aggressor.
Investigation of the Police Academy has established the image of 'cronies' somewhat
nuanced. They generally have a healthy work ethic and are not standard from broken homes. Proportionally, they shall be more violent crimes than other young people.

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.

4.3 Right extremism
The threat to the Dutch democratic legal order by right-wing extremists
still is relatively low. The fragmented right-wing extremist landscape
in the Netherlands is partly to blame. The past year did show some growth
the supporters of not politically active neo-Nazi organizations, such as Blood&Honour.
Parties on the other hand who seek to achieve their goals through political means, In the past year were not substantially increased or even decreased in size. It is expected that the growth of non politically active groups also will persist in the coming year. The emergence of radical splinter groups from right-wing
youth cultures such as parts of the so-called 'Lonsdale youth' (gabberbeweging), is
been limited this year. Despite the fact that in the circles of a right extremists
fascination with weapons and violence exists, at this time is not a right-wing extremist terrorist threat. That does not mean that in this youth culture
widely felt frustration over multiculturalism further polarization in the
hand can work and thus could ultimately threaten the democratic legal.

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.
The Netherlands has a number of extreme right-wing parties. Are the most famous: of
Centrumdemocraten(CD), New Right (NR), New Alliance (NA) and the Dutch People's Union(NVU).
In some places, they participate in the local elections in March 2006: Almelo (NR), Apeldoorn (NVU), Arnhem (CD and NCE), Eindhoven (NR), Nijmegen (NVU), Oss (NVU), Ridderkerk (NA NR), Rotterdam (NA NR) and Venray (NVU). Only New Right achieves a seat, nl. Ridderkerk. Antisemitism is mostly within the NCE and the New Alliance integral part of the ideology. See also Internet.

Polarization
Concern about polarization remains undiminished. Besides the anti-integrative and isolationist message of Salafis also carry extreme right noises significantly contribute to this. In the recent period there has been several cases of inter-ethnic violence.
In more than half of those cases is clearly right-wing extremist violence by Lonsdale youth, Skinheads and the National Alliance. The manifestation of inter-ethnic violence is undermining the cohesion of Dutch society.
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.

DISS is central or security of the armed forces by organizations or individuals

In 2005 have manifestations of right-wing extremism occurred to a limited extent within Defence. In comparison with 2004 There was a slight increase in the number of reports. Some messages were related to the besmirching of defense objects with runes, nazi-symbolen, discriminatory texts and slogans. A small part of the reports were associated with persons connected or supporting right-wing extremist organizations. The majority of reports were associated with persons who might have been guilty of (putative) right-wing extremist statements and behavior. It is noted that not all behaviors, which are reported under the heading of right-wing extremism, should also be considered as such in political or ideological sense. Research shows that there is sometimes an unwanted behavior such as misplaced humor, harsh training methods, machogedrag or other misconduct.

4.3 Right-wing extremism
Atmosphere Decisive for the right-wing extremism in the Netherlands 2005 was the murder of Mr Van Gogh 2 november 2004. Within right-wing extremist circles was after deDood of Mr. Van Gogh with renewed ferocity – especially right-wing internet forums agitated against Muslims in the Netherlands and Islamic institutions, such as mosques and Islamic schools. Anger and frustration prevailed in the various reactions. Anger towards the perpetrator, Muslims and Islam in general, and a great dissatisfaction with the role of government too would focus on dialogue with Muslims. This dissatisfaction has not led to radical actions against the relevant governments or ministers.

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.

Because different immigrant youth in the public space also in groups
manifest, comes especially in the smaller towns and secondary schools in the country
regularly to provocations and confrontations. Thereby initiated the provocation is sometimes

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

The RVF is a small, Originating British Blood&Honour organization in mid 2002 dissatisfaction with the moderate course of the NCE was founded.

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.
