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.
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.

clear in what form the extreme right may or may not manifest in Arnhem (both online

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).

Proposal Affordability right-terrorism
Although jihadism determining the threat direction for Netherlands, new attacks from right-wing terrorist angle also conceivable, taking into account the flow of hatred against Muslims and asylum seekers is noticeable especially on the Internet. However, there is no evidence of new attacks from this angle. DTN recent period were first in the Dutch legal persons convicted by a right-wing extremist background for terrorism. In februari 2016 was thrown by them to firebomb a mosque in Enschede. The conceivable threat from this quarter comes mainly from violent loners or small, quickly radicalized groups.

Rechts -terrorism in links-terrorism
Several Western countries have faced a significant threat from right-wing terrorist angle. Here, applicants, Muslims and Jews the most selected targets. The attack on an Islamic cultural center in Quebec in January 2017 a 27-year-old man took six people lives. The stop in Canada illustrates that serious violent threat mainly comes from the right-corner of terrorist (unknown) violent loners. In the right-terrorism is an attack by a loner classic modus operandi which is mainly active in encouraging the US.

5. Extremism, radicalization and polarization
Extremely right (activism, within the law) and right-wing extremism (outside legal)
In recent years, the arrows of extreme right-wing and right-wing extremist groups and individuals in the Netherlands focused on Islam and Muslims, seekers and ideological
opponents. This focus is largely determined by the increase in the number of asylum seekers 2015 and structural terrorist threat from jihadists. Given the power of hatred against Muslims and asylum seekers is noticeable especially on the Internet, there remains a major breeding ground for potential new violence by loners or small, quickly radicalized groups such as the group carried out an attack on a mosque in Enschede (februari 2016).
In the run-up to praatpeal in Maassluis on 12 november 2016 there was evidence that right-wing extremists would seek violent confrontation with extreme leftist and anti-Black Peter activists. Remarkable is also the foundation of the xenophobic nationalist grouping Erkenbrand. This group is trying to ride on the success of the alt-right movement in the United States. For the first time a far-right group which operates a large number of sympathizers is highly educated in decades is therefore in Netherlands. In some cases, it seems the threat from this angle sometimes greater than that actually. The previously announced vigilantes such as Soldiers of Odin or DSDA are not or hardly active in public space. However, they have an active presence on the Internet, where several people openly accept their ideas.

Polarization
The election period has expired without major incident. This period was ahead risky because, on top of the polarized climate, there could be heated public and political debate with the feeling may arise that violent action is needed to stop a perceived danger. The latter has not occurred during the election period. Many of the heated debates in the Netherlands are centered around Islam, Turkey, the European Union and the newly appointed US administration.
Ahead was the election in the Netherlands in recent DTN-time criticism of the outcome of the trial against PVV leader Wilders. Wilders was in December 2016 found guilty of insulting a group and inciting discrimination. The ruling led to social media to heated debates between for- and opponents of
conviction. Excluding advance by the parties as a potential coalition partner, led in pre-election debate between too many for- and opponents. Opponents consider this exclusion as undemocratic. Another trend is the popularity of populist parties in several Western countries are very critical of Islam and migrants. The aforementioned admission of the new US administration gave rise to demonstrations, unrest and anxiety among different groups of Dutch, including Muslims. Violent incidents with possible anti-Muslim motif at mosques and Islamic schools
This unrest will continue to feed.
Results of research show repeatedly seen in many variations and tonalities that Islam and Muslims in the Netherlands but difficult to accept. This is partly reflected in the results of research into experiences of discrimination of Turkish-Dutch and Moroccan-Dutch youth and the results of research on the degree of acceptance of Muslims. Many young people of Turkish or Moroccan feel they belong to the Dutch society. They feel excluded and rejected. They are not seen as individuals, but as Turks, Moroccans or Muslims i.e.. as a different set of. They feel differently treated
many areas of daily life. They feel, distorted in the press. Many young men have to deal with ethnic profiling by police. They call the unfavorable climate towards ethnic minorities as the main reason why they still identify with their community of origin and their faith. giving Taken together, the results of the study in which this emerges a clear indication that a thread experiences of discrimination make in the lives of these young people. One such discrimination is Islamophobia. Islamophobia manifests itself in various fields and in many sectors of society, in downright violent practices and ordinary interpersonal communication.

In the current polarized climate surrounding the theme ?? s Islam, asylum, integration, Europe and Turkey also is a risk of violent incidents of extreme right and extreme left. In the run up to the parliamentary elections in March 2017 higher polarization is conceivable in Netherlands. In shift time is also more than usual risk of a possible act of violence by a loner.
(…)
The attack in Munich in July 2016 shows that right-wing extremist thought can inspire good individual attackers. In the Netherlands last year to see a resurgence of extreme right-wing views, partly due to the polarized debate include Islam and asylum seekers. Right-wing extremist-inspired violence, as earlier this year in Enschede, remain thus conceivable in Netherlands.

In addition, more attacks are committed by individuals as lone actor ?? ?? or with some logistical support from ISIS members act. Isis managed to cause maximum fear and violence with minimal effort in Europe. The'merk 'ISIS even taking advantage of non-jihadist attacks.

The extreme right and extreme right
Due to the decline in the number of asylum seekers getting the extreme right in the Netherlands less opportunity for action. Serious violent events of right-wing extremist signature – like the fire bombing in February 2016 at a mosque in Enschede – have not occurred in the last period. However, there were still graffiti and vandalism carried out at asylum centers and houses of status holders. The decline in action does not mean the rejection of refugees and Muslims actually disappeared in Netherlands, on the contrary. The hatred against Islam, refugees and Dutch politics is still fully visible, especially on the Internet. In real life jumps some actions in the eye. In the previous DTN has been written about the creation of vigilante with a right-wing extremist background. The past period has also established the Dutch version of Soldiers of Odin. Members of these so-called vigilante made in July 2016 hunt for a fugitive allegedly harassed women in Winschoten. Right-wing extremist violence motivated serious threat may come mainly from the angle of unprecedented violent loners, as demonstrated by the terrorist attack in Munich in July by a follower of Anders Breivik. In times of intense polarization in society violent loners can feel strengthened to a (terrorist) outrage to commit.

Although violent confrontation not know the serious and Germany we see this phenomenon last year more in Netherlands. This mainly extreme left is playing an active role. The focus was on disrupting the past year and prevent demonstrations of anti-Islamic group ?? Pegida Netherlands ??, where right-wing extremists often come off. Left-wing extremists attempting to provoke in these demonstrations against violence and fear the use of fireworks or smoke bombs not.
