JM&#8217;s series continues on twitter, but here I&#8217;m reformatting it as regular prose for ease of reading:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The paper is first in a series aiming to develop a framework to study extremism as a phenomenon crossing ideological boundaries. <\/p>\n<p>The framework I&#8217;m presenting is derived from a grounded theory approach, using Christian Identity as a starting point. The paper traces how Christian Identity emerged from a non-extremist precursor, and what that says about identity and group radicalization. It also offers new (and probably controversial) definitions of extremism and radicalization, seeking to address a serious gap in consensus. Finally, it offers some ideas for counter-messaging and deradicalization derived from the framework.<\/p>\n<p>The next in the series will apply the framework to ISIS propaganda with concrete notes on how the framework informs counter-messaging. I&#8217;m ultimately asking what ISIS has in common with Christian Identity, and what that tells us about each and both.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>An important approach, IMO.<\/p>\n<p>**<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/zenpundit.com\/?p=54887\">JM Berger&#8217;s latest, 2<\/a> will present his accompanying overview of recent work in the field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ by Charles Cameron &#8212; JM&#8217;s sustained attack on Christian Identity and ISIS ] .
