Summary Summary The conflict in Syria and Iraq has resulted in an increase in the number of violent Islamist extremists in Sweden, and a significant increase of people from Sweden travelling to join terrorist groups abroad. Since 2012 it is estimated that about 300 people from Sweden have travelled to Syria and Iraq to join terrorist groups such as the Islamic State (IS) and, to a lesser extent, al-Qaeda affiliated groups such as Jabhat al-Nusra. Even though the foreign fighter issue has been on the political agenda for several years and received considerable media attention, very little is known about the Swedish contingent.

  • Online Islamophobia After the Brussels Attacks on March 22Nd 2016
    Master Thesis MSc in Sociology: track migration and ethnic studies Online Islamophobia after the Brussels attacks on March 22nd 2016. A critical discourse analysis of Facebook comments on news articles regarding the Brussels attacks by Het Laatste Nieuws and De Standaard Ezra Dupré (ID: 12759317) Supervisor: dr. L.M. Hernandez Aguilar Second reader: dr. M.A. van den Berg July 6th 2020 Abstract Online Islamophobia in the Flemish context is facing a research gap. Offline Flemish Islamophobia has been investigated previously. However a significant amount of reports on Belgian Islamophobic behaviour took place online. Social network platforms have become full- fledged social spheres where public discourse debates are encouraged. This thesis investigates the dominant narratives of Islamophobic comments on Flemish news articles posted on Facebook within a month after the Brussels bombing on March 22nd 2016. Because of the cultural and linguistic differences between the French speaking community and Flemish speaking community in Belgium, Islamophobia is bound to be affected by these differences. The comments are posted as a response to articles by the Flemish popular newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws and the Flemish quality newspaper De Standaard. In total 28 416 comments were analysed through Fairclough's critical discourse analysis with an additional focus on semiotic decisions made in the comments. The results indicate that dominant narratives of offline Islamophobic statements conform to online dominant narratives found in the Facebook comments. Dominant narratives supplementary to previously examined offline dominant narratives were detected such as “Muslims do not provide adequate upbringings for their children.” The main Islamophobic themes discussed in the comments cohere and overlap.
