- Abstract
- In this study, I intended to examine differences and similarities in the
radicalization process between Islamic terrorism and right-wing terrorism by
using secondary data from the Profiles of Individual Radicalization in the United
States (PIRUS) database. A review of previous research noted a difference in
the radicalization process between Islamist terrorism and right-wing terrorism,
however there is a tendency not to differentiate between them. The research
question was therefore what differences and similarities exist between
individuals who have radicalized towards Islamist terrorism and individuals who
have radicalized towards right-wing terrorism. The study found a significant

have radicalized towards right-wing terrorism. The study found a significant
difference between the ideologies in terms of religious background and
immigrant background. There was a similarity among the ideologies in that they
had more radicalized friends in their social networks than radicalized family
members. However, the study did not find a significant difference between the
ideologies in terms of violence exposure as children. The study also found a
significant relationship between terrorism and religious background, terrorism
and immigrant generation, and terrorism and radical family member. Finally, it
is noted that there is value in distinguishing between ideologies in research on
radicalization, but that further research is needed to deepen the understanding of the factors that influence the radicalization process. (Less) - Abstract (Swedish)

- Denna studie ämnade att undersöka skillnader och likheter i radikaliseringsprocessen mellan islamistterrorism och högerterrorism genom att använda sekundärdata från databasen Profiles of Individual Radicalization in the United States (PIRUS). Vid en undersökning av tidigare forskning uppmärksammandes en skillnad i radikaliseringprocessen mellan islamistterrorism och högerterrorism, men det föreligger en tendens att inte skilja dem åt. Frågeställningen blev således vilka skillnader och likheter som föreligger mellan individer som har radikaliserats mot islamistterrorism och individer som har radikaliserats mot högerterrorism. Studien visade på en signifikant skillnad mellan ideologierna vad gällde religiös bakgrund och invandrarbakgrund. Det förekom en likhet hos ideologierna angående att de i högre grad hade radikaliserade vänner i sina sociala kontaktnät än radikaliserade familjemedlemmar. Studien visade dock inte på någon signifikant skillnad mellan ideologierna vad gällde våldsutsatthet som barn. Studien påvisade även ett signifikant orsakssamband mellan terrorism och religiös bakgrund, terrorism och invandrargeneration, samt terrorism och radikal familjemedlem. Avslutningsvis, uppmärksammas att det finns ett värde i att särskilja ideologierna åt vid forsknig om radikalisering, men att det krävs ytterligare forskning för att fördjupa kunskapen om vilka faktorer som har en påverkan på radikaliseringsprocessen.
