NEW: Salafism Online. Recognizing Propaganda Strategies - Escaping Manipulation

Salafist propaganda on the Internet is often aimed specifically at young people. The initial focus is less on religious topics and more on questions related to everyday life. The ideological offers of Salafist propaganda promise young people in particular orientation, meaning and identity. klicksafe provides information about Salafist online content in the new topic module and website area of the same name.

Salafist content is found primarily in social media, and the target groups include young people of 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 take action against agitation from the Salafist spectrum, information and pedagogically prepared material are needed in addition to commitment. The new brochure by klicksafe and jugendschutz.net, , in which ufuq.de was involved as a cooperation partner, combines the specific know-how of various competent organizations. The range of topics extends from raising awareness of Salafist propaganda to counter-strategies and getting to know counseling centers for radicalization.

The topic module is now available as a download and print brochure via the klicksafe ordering system.
