Before you lies the MDI Annual Report 2013. We are delighted that we have managed to also 2013 to continue our work. 15 year funding from the government, unfortunately, came this year because of budget cuts at the ministries in order. While combating all forms of discrimination on the Internet (and beyond) is more important than ever, the anti-discrimination policy in the Netherlands in recent years to erosion, which is reflected in the closure of institutions in our field and disinterest in governance, politicians and policymakers. This not only brings harm to combat discrimination but also sets the wrong tone towards society. Examples are the inertia that was laid on the day at the issue of anti-Semitic statements made by Turkish youth in Arnhem, the strange reactions to the (justly) critical report of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) about Netherlands (Labour party leader Samson wondered where Europe interfering himself and called the report 'weak', D66 leader Pechtold distanced himself greatly from the report) and last but not least the lethargy of the discriminatory 'jokes' Gordon, Daphne Bunskoek and Jack Spijkerman media. A lethargy that disappeared strangely entirely with the criticism because of Sinterklaas Zwarte Piet; a flurry of undisguised anti-black racism was the result. It is simply not able to expeditiously deal with discrimination and hate crimes. The "surprising" conclusion that anti-Semitism and gay hatred comes from minority groups
rather gives rise to relief ("You see, they do it ') than to care. The MDI of Magenta Foundation department is one of the victims of the 'new thinking' that has descended over Netherlands. Moreover, erroneous publicity about closure of the MDI ensured that the number of reports in 2013 decreased.

In this collection, senior experts explore all aspects of extreme right wing political violence, from the nature of the threat, processes of engagement, and ideology to the lessons that can be drawn from exiting such engagement. Further, right wing activism and political violence are compared with Jihadi violence and engagement. Also, the European experience is placed within a greater framework, including that of the United States and the Arab Spring.

The book opens with an essay on U.S. far right groups, investigating their origins and processes of recruitment. It then delves into violence against UK Mosques and Islamic centers, the relationship between Ulster loyalism and far right extremism, the Dutch extremist landscape, and the July 2011 Norway attacks. Also discussed are how narratives of violence are built and justified, at what point do individuals join into violence, and how differently states respond to left-wing vs. right-wing extremism.

This comparative work offers a unique look into the very nature of right wing extremism and will be a must-read for anyone studying political violence and terrorism.

The European financial and—partly stemming from this—fiscal crisis is the most severe economic crisis to have occurred since the 1920s. As with every crisis of such dimensions, it has created insecurity and doubt about the existing political systems and institutional arrangements. These concerns are being exploited by nationalistic parties and the virulent media, and are solely focused on the national political arena. National selfinterest and prejudices against European neighbours and fellow European citizens are increasing: southern Europeans are portrayed as averse to work and unwilling to reform, northern Europeans as lacking solidarity. Abusive comparisons with Fascism have even been made.

The boost to populist parties and the receptivity of the public to their messages have been facilitated by the current crisis. The magnitude of the electoral gains that populist parties have been able to acquire due to their anti-European slogans and programmes is surprising and worrying. They succeed by delivering apparently straightforward solutions, which are often derived from national interest, to what are actually complex political problems—solutions that have persuasive power amongst a broad audience. This kind of nationalist and anti-European rhetoric endangers not only economic prosperity, but also democracy.

The Freedom Party is not to imagine the Dutch politics. At the same time, it is a grouping mysterious, where numerous journalists and researchers so far could not get a grip. First Koen Vossen managed the mechanisms of and behind the PVV expose leggen.In 2006 PVV came with nine seats in parliament. It was the beginning of a march that culminated in an as yet 2010, when the party with 24 seats was the third party in the Netherlands, after which they got great influence as tolerated party minority government on government policy. After the fall of the government decreased both the power and the supporters of the Freedom Party, but the party is far from disappeared from view.

With the rapidly growing influence of the Freedom Party raised more and more questions about the party. By which ideas the party is guided? Is the PVV populist or even extreme right or does it just right in a way that we do not know in Netherlands? And what does the organization of the 'free members' PVV out? Geert Wilders really all in control? How many people are in one way or another active for the party? In, hardly less relevant, What about the financing of the PVV?

Na 15 years of work have to be supported from the MDI, the Ministries of Security and Justice and Social Affairs decided to budgetary considerations, the financing of the MDI by 31 december 2012 to end. That is regrettable and in our view unwise. The ministries want to treat reports of discrimination on the Internet is done by the Foundation M, an organization that transmits telephone anonymous complaints about crime in society to the police. We doubt very much that the foundation through their duties M, expertise and resources able to deal with the reports of discriminatory behavior on the Internet at the same appropriate and careful manner as the MDI. Discrimination on the Internet (and beyond) is a significant problem that will only increase with the current economic situation. Given the great social importance of proper notification handling the Magenta Foundation has decided to continue the MDI. Meanwhile, there is alternative financing found, there are usually treated as notifications and declarations made, and it is our 'business as usual'. Our working relationships with the prosecution / LECD, the police, other services and the Anti-Discrimination Services function as before. In addition, we will expand our work.

There remains however a small number of right-wing extremists active, especially those participating in social activities without direct ideological goal.

The actions of the German authorities against several German right-wing extremist groups, zoals de camaraderie Aachen Country (STAY), have under Dutch law extremists hardly led to reactions. This is because many of them good friendly contacts with German comrades kept and took part in activities organized by the KAL.
