This exploration will examine the huge parts of fruitful counter radicalization models of various nations, and recommend approaches to fuse those in Bangladesh to build up a cognizant enemy of radicalization procedure. At first, this writing audit will talk about the idea of radicalization through the internet. It will permit the perusers to follow the ensuing investigation and the recommendations to build up a component in Bangladesh to counter this danger. The writing audit is isolated into three segments: understanding on the web radicalization, online radicalization from a Bangladeshi point of view, and critical parts of effective universal enemy of radicalization programs. Understanding on the web radicalization will analyze the potential intensity of the web to impact individuals and the procedure of radicalization. The segment on online radicalization from a Bangladeshi point of view will from the outset, quickly survey the significant dangers in Bangladesh and will at that point, recognize and assess the current projects of countering on the web radicalization. The last segment will contemplate the methodologies embraced by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), The U.S. National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), and the present projects embraced by Malaysia and Indonesia. These two nations of Southeast Asia have been chosen because of strict and social similitudes, and geographic nearness. Their projects seem, by all accounts, to be successful against online radicalization. Understanding Online Radicalization The web seems to make more chances to become radicalized. Numerous academic articles credit a job to the web in advancing radicalization[1]. Those examinations recommend that the web goes about as a quickening agent, and has broken the customary obstructions to radicalize individuals[2]. In such manner, Gabriel Weimanns Terror on the Internet: The New Arena, The New Challenges checks the quantity of sites of fear monger gatherings and audits their contents[3]. In his article, Weimann focuses to the multiplication of radicals sites. He establishes, before the finish of 1999, practically all psychological oppressor bunches set up their online nearness. Diverse exact examinations recommend, there is a relationship between's fanatics sites and online purposeful publicity, and fast radicalization. The web empowers the fear based oppressors to contact in any case inaccessible people. The compass of the web has obscured the geographic boundaries, and associated the far off people in the virtual world. Dwindle Neumann in his exploration focuses that the web permits the fear based oppressors to contact those people who might not have been available in some other way[4]. For instance, Anwar al-Awlaki[5] effectively made online substance, for example, Inspire that advocates jihad from home. Ines von Behr affirms, these sort of online materials have expand the degree to contact any individuals, and their engaging substance make increasingly opportunity to embed radical thoughts among the individuals[6]. The web makes chances to radicalize a more extensive scope of individuals from all social orders. Rachel and Strugnell distinguish, close to evacuating the geographic boundary, the web has deleted the social and sexual orientation obstructions also to spread radical philosophies. They feature on the web made extension to reach and radicalize the women[7]. In numerous social orders, it might be hard for ladies to meet by and by with male fanatics or work with them; it might likewise be hard for the ladies to communicate certain contemplations out in the open. Be that as it may, the web permits them more prominent anonymity[8]. A few creators opine, the web benefits the contemplative person people who are looking for the extreme thoughts by making an extension to get to any substance privately[9]. Jerome Bjelopera says,ã‚â the qualities of the web permits a relative preferred position to the fear mongers in the current days than their past ages by blurring the lines between nation s, social orders, and genders[10]. The web gives guessed obscurity and a level of insurance and security from detection[11]. The web quickens the procedure of radicalization. Bjelopera terms the web as a reverberation chamber[12]. That is to say, individuals who are looking through any extreme plans to help their scrappy musings are probably going to make some fortify substance on the web because of its enormous stockpiling. The web is a sort of one-stop search for all the data that an individual may look to underline his extreme thoughts that speeds up his radicalization procedure. The virtual world decreases the time span of radicalization process instead of the real world. Anthony Bergin in his investigation alludes the web as a transport line that quickens the radicalization procedure by giving momentary and ceaseless association with any savage idea[13]. Raffaello Pantucci further features the online worlds job in hatching and quickening radicalization[14]. Robert Schmidle focuses that, the visit rooms specifically are compelling for the radicals since they can trade thoughts with similarly invested p eople all day, every day paying little mind to borders[15]. In this way, the web assists the radicalization procedure of any person by offering assortments of substance and ceaseless cooperation. The web permits radicalization to happen without physical contact. Yeap and Park clarify, the web empowers any person to get to radical substance from their own space as opposed to going to an extreme strict gathering[16]. Consequently, an individual need just the web association, physical venturing out to other area is not any more fundamental. In spite of the fact that the web diminishes obstacles to collaboration, hardly any researchers may contend that human cooperation is essential for radicalization. Be that as it may, Behr says, in a computerized time the online exercises might be considered as an augmentation of the genuine lives, and physical association is no more essential[17]. Next to the real world, individual relationship may develop in the virtual world also. Along these lines, Mitchell Silber and Arvin Bhatt attests, radicalization on the web isn't really any extraordinary to what might occur with other increasingly private and less obvious sources[18]. Furthermore, t he web expands open doors for self-radicalization. It is where an individual step by step become radicalized without anyone else [19]. Henceforth, the web makes chances of radicalization without human collaboration. An individual travel through a few stages as he gets radicalized through the internet. In a New York Police Department radicalization contextual investigation, Silber and Bhatt recognize four periods of radicalization: pre-radicalization, self-distinguishing proof, inculcation and jihadization[20]. The contextual analysis perceives the effect of the web on the radicalization procedure as an individual searching for a character and a cause[21]. The web encourages in every one of the phases to educate, mingle, teach and recruit[22]. The FBI has likewise made a radicalization model like that of the NYPD. The FBI model has four phases: pre-radicalization, ID, inculcation and action[23]. These classes are practically like NYPD. The chart underneath shows the Moghaddams flight of stairs to radicalization where the online substance assume a corresponding job: Moghaddam Staircase to Radicalization Source: Moghaddam, Fathali M. The Staircase to Terrorism, A Psychological Exploration, Vol. 60, No. 2, American Psychologist, 2005. Online Radicalization in Bangladeshi Perspective Fear based oppressors Approach and their Target Audience In Bangladesh, hardly any religion based fear based oppressor associations have picked up abilities to create and spread their extreme messages on the web. They have pulled out in the open and media consideration through their exercises and engendering. Moreover, not many radical political gatherings are additionally attempting to build up their online abilities. At present 13 fear based oppressor associations are working effectively and 29 others are working clandestinely utilizing counterfeit credentials[24]. The Special Branch of Bangladesh Police has given the names of eight fear based oppressor associations to Home Ministry who are dynamic on the web: Ansarullah Bangla Team, Allahr Dal, Islamic Solidarity Front, Tamiruddin Bangladesh, Tawhidee Trust, Hizbut-Tawhid, Shahdat-e-Nabuwat and Jamat-as-Sadat. Five of these psychological militant associations have just been restricted by the legislature, and eight more are yet to be banned[25]. These gatherings may have critical specula tion, both human and money related, to construct their online limits. The fear based oppressor gatherings of Bangladesh have all the earmarks of being dynamic on the web, especially in Facebook and YouTube, to spread radical lecturing. This is more secure, and lower probability of being followed by the law upholding organizations. Farooq opines, the online purposeful publicity of the fear mongers in Bangladesh have gotten increasingly composed, and speaking to their targets[26]. Arman claims that the fear mongers attempt to misuse the ethno-strict estimation of the individuals while building up their messages, and advance to their accepts to insert their radical ideas[27]. In the course of the most recent couple of years, detest addresses and savage belief systems that spread through the web set off various fear monger assaults and public savagery in Bangladesh. This was apparent in Ramu and Pabna episodes where mass assaults were done on strict minority individuals. In the two cases, unidentified people utilizing aliases doctored photographs and messa ges on the Facebook criticizing Islam that unsettled people[28]. Online networking have become the simplest way to spread radical thoughts in Bangladesh. Bangladeshi young people are especially helpless against online radicalization because of absence of digital mindfulness. Farooq in his examination opines, the psychological militants appear to focus on the informed young people by spreading engaging m
