Extremism is on the rise in Europe and the USA. What does this mean for Western democracies? Julia Ebner analyses Islamists and right-wing extremists across borders. In undercover research and conversations with radicals on both sides, she traces how Islamism and right-wing radicalism reinforce each other. With astonishingly similar inflammatory rhetoric, they stir up hatred and drive a wedge into society: their own group becomes the victim, the other the enemy.
