“…These views matter. Research shows that perceiving immigrants as dangerous is a robust predictor of support for Trump's restrictive immigrant policies (e.g., the border wall, the Muslim ban; see Haner et al, 2020). Research also shows that a core factor contributing to White support for Trump in the 2016 election, including switching votes from Obama to Trump, was opposition to immigration (Jardina, 2019a;Kaufmann, 2019).…”

As a candidate and as president, Donald Trump heightened the salience of immigration, portraying those crossing the nation’s Southern border as “bad hombres” and advocating building a wall blocking their access to the United States from Mexico. Based on a 2019 MTurk study of 465 White adults, the current study found that a clear majority of respondents rejected this stereotype of Southern immigrants as “bad hombres,” judging them to be just as law-abiding as Americans. Importantly, however, the analysis revealed that two innovative measures—Hispanic resentment and, in particular, White nationalism—were consistently related to perceptions of immigrants as criminogenic. Given the growing demographic diversity of the United States, future research should consider the increasing influence of racial/ethnic resentment and White group identity on public opinions about immigration and other justice issues.

“…Recent research also shows that different forms of extremism can be assessed differently when it comes to the role that ideology and/or psychopathology play in them ( 25 – 29 ). Islamist-inspired extremism is likelier to be referred to as terrorism by security agencies, the media, and public opinion than violence inspired by right-wing or left-wing extremism ( 30 ).…”

“…Islamist-inspired extremism is likelier to be referred to as terrorism by security agencies, the media, and public opinion than violence inspired by right-wing or left-wing extremism ( 30 ). Muslims are generally described more negatively by the media than other groups and likelier to be associated by the media with violent extremism than other groups with the risk that right-wing extremism is more likely to be interpreted as psychopathological ( 25 – 29 ). Studies also report that while Islamist-inspired extremist acts are more likely to be labeled as terrorism in the media, those who commit far-right-inspired extremist acts are not more likely to be labeled mentally ill than individuals from other ideological groups ( 30 ).…”

How violent extremism is interpreted among adolescents and young adults who experience a form of psychopathology can have far-reaching consequences for these youth and for society. A fundamental consideration here is the role that ideology and psychopathology play in radicalization and possibly related extremist violence. Risk management is challenged at various levels. This article seeks to contribute to academic and policy discussions on psychopathology and extremism by combining relevant insights from practices in the Netherlands. In this perspective article our aim is to stimulate awareness and research, on the basis of operational knowledge of the Dutch case, that helps professionals across the various domains of risk management with more expertise and the ability to better integrate and interact the concepts of psychopathology and ideology. We end with formulating hypotheses for further research.

“…Since then, there has been new wave of anti-terrorism with laws, surveillances, migration policies, control on religious activities (propagation, knowledge, teachings, funding) as well as a 'mistaken perception' of Islam and Muslims and prejudices which make Islam and Muslims targets and victims of both terrorism and anti-terrorism (Haner, Sloan, Cullen, Graham, Jonson, Kulig&Aydın, 2020; Zouhir, 2019). Muslims and their states, especially the Arabs and Africans are being singled, excluded, victimised and systematically targeted by the US and the West, with policies against Muslims and immigrants which conflate Islam and terrorism (Stephenson & Becker, 2016;Onwudiwe, 2005:6;Haner, et. al., 2020).…”

This article explores reality of issues in terrorism, and the misconceptions, stereo-type and frame up of Islam. It traces the nature of Islam and muslims, us and the western negative stereotype of Islam in relation to terrorism, and uncovers the causes of terrorism in the world. This study used secondary and historical documentation sources of data collection, reviewed related literature and qualitatively analysed the data. Accordingly, it is not possible to end or optimally contain the terrorists and terrorism by merely making policies, framing up others, and or mere states cooperation. Rather, the root causes of terrorism must be objectively understood and curbed, and the foreign policy of the states, especially us and the west must be redesigned to minimise external intervention in other states and religious affairs. The world would continue to experience acts of terrorism despite all the measures put on ground unless the root causes of terrorism are uncovered and fully addressed. More individuals, especially the youth and across religious divide are likely to be engaged in terrorism, including suicide bombing because of the negative indoctrinations, and multi-dimensioned injustice to many individuals, states, and religions. The article concludes that Islam neither accepts nor harbours terrorism; associating Islam with terrorism is as a result misconception, deliberate frame up or negative stereo-type. The solutions to terrorism in the world lie in dispensation of justice to all, objective foreign policies making and implementation, non-interference in other states’ affairs, sound religious and inter-faith education, alleviation of poverty and unemployment, objective image projection and proper information dissemination.
