Far right, Islamists using same techniques under pandemic

Extremism is a security and human problem, regardless of the ideological makeup it represents.
This is most manifest in the way the far right and
Islamist groups deal with the Covid-19 pandemic which forced almost the whole
world to isolate itself.
The two extremist groups used the pandemic to serve
their own agendas in the societies where they operate. They used the crisis in
widening the gap between citizens in these societies and their governments.
The far light launched campaigns aiming at widening
the scope of the Covid-19 pandemic, especially among migrants and different
ethnic groups.
On the other hand, Islamist organizations adopted
wrong interpretations to the religious texts on the reasons for the emergence
of the pandemic in countries that oppose them, especially Europe and the United
States.
Prevalent mechanism
Far-right groups and Islamist groups share the same
view about governments. They act in the same manner towards instructions by
governments on means of avoiding Covid-19 infection.
The two groups worked hard to use the lockdowns
imposed by some countries in curbing infections to serve their own interests.
Far-right organizations did not obey lockdown
decisions and asked their followers to gather on the streets to protest these
decisions. The New Nazis movement asked its members last month to break a
nighttime curfew in Germany.
The movement also organized a number of events on
contravention of the curfew and lockdown decisions.
Far-right organizations believe that these decisions
are only aimed at eradicating the white race and serving the best interests of
migrants and ethnic minorities.
