"Words are powerful tools. Violent extremists know this well, often choosing
their phrasing extremely carefully to build loyalty among their followers. When
wielded just so, they can do enormous harm.
Because their words are chosen so deliberately, researchers can look for
patterns, trends and red flags. What exactly do extremists say that builds
followings, incites hatred and violence, and can ultimately lead to deadly
attacks?
Our research looking at the rhetoric of the extremists behind some of recent
history’s worst terror attacks sheds light on this question. We’ve identified
six key tactics terrorists use to mobilise people behind their cause.
By being able to spot the tactics, we can dismantle the language and protect
people and communities from radicalisation."
