This book explores the anti-Islamic turn and expansion of the far
right in Western Europe, North America and beyond from 2001 and
onwards. Driven by terror attacks and other moral shocks, the
anti-Islamic cause has undergone four waves of transnational
expansion in the period since 2001. The leaders and intellectuals
involved have varied backgrounds, many coming from the left,
uniting historically opposed sets of values under their banner of a
civilizational struggle against Islam. The findings presented in
this book indicate that anti-Islamic initiatives in Western Europe
and the United States form a transnational movement and subculture
characterized by a fragile balance between liberal and
authoritarian values. The author draws on a broad array of data
sources and methods, including network analysis and sentiment
analysis, to analyze the impact of the anti-Islamic expansion and
turn at a macro level, and the theoretical implications for our
understanding of the current far right flowing from this. Offering
an overview of anti-Islamic activism, the book explores the
background of their leaders and ideologues, provides an in-depth
look at their ideology, online organizational networks, and the
views expressed by their online members as well as which emotions
and messages continue to drive their mobilization. The book will be
of interest to scholars in the social movement field as well as
political scientists, sociologists, and general readers interested
in issues such as populism, extremism and understanding the ways in
which the contemporary far right challenges liberal democracies.
