Dawson (2010)Lorne Dawson presents a unique perspective on the similarities between New Religious Movements (NRMs), also known as cults, and radical Islamic groups. Dawson (2010) questions why no dialogue took place due to the similarities between the two types of movements. Dawson (2010) stated that individuals who join Islamic extremist groups have the same problems as NRM members who experience a source of deprivation or alienation from the secular world. As with both groups, Dawson (2010) alludes to the fact that deprivation is based on the personalization of a problem which can be social, psychological and moral. Dawson (2010) warns that deprivation is not just about economics and there is no single profile to fit. a specific, individual reason why an individual will feel deprivation. Dawson points out that the general public may view people as unlucky and economically conflicted. However, in reality, according to Dawson (2010), both groups come from middle-class families and have some education and appear unremarkable, just as Silber and Bhatt's (2007) study states. With this feeling of deprivation, Dawson highlights the search for individuals belonging to both the NRM and radical Islamic groups may want to pursue an identity influenced by socialization with others going through the same situation or who understand what an individual is going through . Dawson makes an interesting point that social bonds that are strong and give an individual a sense of belonging help transform a person into an NRM or radical Islamic group. Dawson refers to two key principles of socialization which are in both NRM and radical Islam and were mentioned in the study by Silber and Bhatt (2007) which are applied...... in the middle of the article ......to avoid the aspect of socialization as a means of propelling radicalization. He mentions that Larose, accused of conspiring to kill Swedish artist Lars Vilks, had social contacts through emails supporting her efforts. The literature provides a valid argument that the Internet has become a major element in increasing the radicalization process. This article argues that researchers should have presented the argument that the Internet is a gateway for socialization rather than a forum for self-radicalization. The document mentions the importance of information operations to counter media promoting radicalization, which has not been emphasized as much as in this literature. The self-awareness variable involves religion in this literature. The Social Conduit variable is obviously identified as Internet and extremist groups..
