Cumulative extremism
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Cumulative extremism is a form of political extremism that occurs when one form of political extremism mobilises against another form of political extremism.[1] Dr Mohammed Ilyas defines cumulative extremism as 'a process through which different forms of ‘extremism’ interact and can potentially produce a spiral of violence'.[2] The academic Matthew Goodwin gives the example of far-right political organisations mobilising in response to the perceived threat of radical Islam.[3]
