| Zusammenfassung: | Extremist rhetoric and behaviour, including violence, emanating from those fearing and opposed to Islamic extremism--and typically generalising that to Islam or Muslims--is undeniable. Equally, there is evidence of Muslim rhetoric that fires up fears of a threatening West and antipathy to religious 'others' as damned infidels, including Christians and Jews who are otherwise regarded as co-religionists--as 'peoples of the Book'. Mutual discontent and antipathy abound. On the one hand, Islamic extremism provokes a reactionary extremism from parts, at least, of the non-Muslim world; on the other hand, Muslim extremism appears often in response to the perception of an aggressive and impositional colonising non-Muslim world. 'Reactive Co-Radicalization', I suggest, names this mutual rejection and exclusionary circle currently evident, in particular, with respect to many Muslim and non-Muslim communities. This article discusses reactive coradicalization as a hermeneutical perspective on religious extremism with particular reference to two European cases. |
