For some time now, jugendschutz.net has increasingly observed social media posts in which Islamists express themselves in a derogatory to openly hostile manner towards members of the LGBTIQ+ community. Non-heteronormative identities are portrayed as incompatible with the "true faith" and as an indicator of the reprehensibility of liberal societies. As part of our Insights event on 29.11.2022, jugendschutz.net would like to provide an insight into how Islamist actors* stage corresponding messages online and which social media platforms they use to spread their ideology.

With Insights, jugendschutz.net provides insights into current trends, developments and findings around hate, incitement and extremist propaganda on the Internet. This is especially true for threats to the good upbringing of children and young people in the online world.

The individual dates are online video events and consist of 20- to 30-minute presentations, followed by an opportunity for questions and discussion.

Insights is aimed at professionals involved in preventing extremism and working against hate online, in education and youth work, and in youth media protection. However, other interested parties such as educators are also cordially invited.
