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.

Over several decades, the extreme right in the Netherlands was characterized by a neo-Nazi, fascist and anti-Semitic ideas. In recent years this has changed; Neo-Nazis are only a marginal group and other forms of right-wing extremism are previously replaced.
Anti-Islamic ideas to the fore main ideological motive which increasingly has emerged in recent years for groups and individuals within the extreme right movement, the anti-Islam views. This development began from 2014 to assume definite shapes as a consequence of two events:
• the declaration of the caliphate by ISIS and the array of jihadist terrorist attacks in Western Europe that followed;
• The flow of refugees in the course of 2015 initiated came to Europe and Netherlands.
Already existing groups in the right-wing extremist scene in Netherlands, as the Dutch People's Union (NVU), handles the rise of ISIS and the refugees to present themselves and to reach a wider audience. They did organize this is by anti-ISIS demonstrations or protests by asylum seekers. Simultaneously, a variety of new initiatives arose. Examples include Protesters against Municipalities (DTG) en United We Stand Holland (UWS). The AIVD also saw an increase
right extremist statements on the Internet against Muslims and asylum seekers.
Then in 2016 the influx of migrants stagnated, disappeared many of the above initiatives weather. Nevertheless, the anti-Islam ideology remained dominant. It is thereby made little distinction between anti-Islam- Anti-migratieretoriek. Migrants are Muslims, so the reasoning seems.
