Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2016 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict Studies, Security, grade: 100.0, Arizona State University, course: CRJ 554: Homeland Security, language: English, abstract: Associations between poverty, economic discrimination, marginalization, and domestic terrorism are now apparent in general society. From incidents of domestic terrorism in European nations, as well as examples from North America, evidence of relationships between the marginalization of minority groups (such as Muslim youths) and the radicalization of beliefs is readily found. Adopted solutions, such as the differing policies endorsed by the European Union when integrating immigrants into their population, have resulted in both support and criticism. Understanding the possible factors that may lead some members of the Muslim minority to become sympathetic to radicalized ideas or even participating in terroristic events may be the key factor in preventing the ongoing cycle of radicalization.
