Safety In Europe
No matter where you live in the world, you will have somehow been affected by an act of terrorism. It could be a bombing in your country, a neighbouring country or the emotional effects of being given the news of a mass killing, but it’s slowly being accepted as a part of the modern world. There was a time when the frequency of morbid acts like this was low and would create a pause in our lives. Today we are so over-occupied with data that the concern lasts only as long as the article; then we’re off to other issues. In such cases, the overabundance of media allows a convenient distraction from reality. Now that most have replaced the recent Easter bombings in Pakistan with other data, Tactics Institute asks how safe are we in Europe?

Radicalisation and Terrorism in the context of the Yemen War
Paper Thin
Each morning at least one billion people wake up and check their phones before brushing their teeth. Those who check their emails are automatically informed about the latest world affairs, whether they desire to be or not. Immediately they feel despair wash over them as the press inform them of the poor, the sick, the dying, the broke and the dead. Just about every sad event that indicates the demise of our world is shared before their stomachs have anything in it–this is today’s social media influence.

White Supremacists: The Roles of Media, Intellectuals and Politicians
Heinous attacks on unarmed victims such as the one carried out in Christchurch, New Zealand last week take place in a context. It is important to consider the impact of social, political and media trends that form the backdrop to such hate-fuelled attacks and increase the likelihood of such attacks taking place in other Western societies.
The International Prominence of the Extreme Right
When the suspected terrorist in Christchurch, New Zealand, killed 50 defenceless Muslims at mosques during Friday prayers last week, it was widely understood that the attack was a culmination of ‘alt-right’, white supremacist ideology and policies that have proliferated in Western states. It is therefore important to study the Christchurch attack in its full context.
Tactics Institute: NZ Christchurch Terrorist attack is a result of ‘incitement’ and ‘hate’ rhetoric
Tactics Institute for Security and Counter Terrorism strongly condemns the heinous massacres carried out at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand where 49 people have been killed, whilst at least 20 have been suffered serious injuries. This cowardly terrorist act appears to be the direct result of hateful, anti-Muslim rhetoric and right-wing Islamophobia. The world must react and tackle Islamophobic hatred.
