    Abstract

    With the increased use of the internet during the pandemic, Islamist extremists and terrorists have taken the opportunity to exploit social dissatisfaction by actively disseminating propaganda and disinformation. This joint webinar discusses countering violent extremism (CVE) strategies with the focus on social media and ground up approaches.

    Dr Fadhel Abdelaziz will discuss the issue of recruitment by extremist armed groups through social media. He will highlight how social media becomes a suitable environment for recruitment, particularly among youth, and what are the mechanisms to prevent them from being influenced by extremist propaganda.

    Dr Mohamed Feisal will provide an overview of the importance of ground-up community efforts, including the role of religious clerics as part of a critical counter-ideological strategy and approach. Taking the Singaporean approach to CVE as a case study, Dr Feisal will discuss the importance of evolving the winning hearts and minds approach, especially in engaging the virtual community within the landscape of the present Covid-19 reality.

    This webinar is co-organised by Naif Arab University for Security Sciences (NAUSS), Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS).
