Salafism Online

Recognizing propaganda strategies - escaping manipulation
Salafist content is found primarily in social media, and the target groups include young people from various backgrounds. The need for community, identity and meaning is served, as is the desire for adventure and entertainment. What resonates: a radical interpretation of Islam, patriarchal role models, rejection of democracy, and even recruitment for militant jihad.
In order to combat agitation from the Salafist spectrum, professional information and pedagogically prepared teaching materials are needed in addition to commitment. The brochure by klicksafe and jugendschutz.net, on which ufuq.de worked as a cooperation partner, combines the specific know-how of various competent organizations. The spectrum of topics ranges from raising awareness of Salafist propaganda to counter-strategies and getting to know counseling centers for radicalization.
