The aim of this project is to analyse the Jihadist terror attacks perpetrated in Europe since 2015 in order to assess what.sort of public and private/semiprivate (mis)
understandings of Islam and Islamism are put into circulation in the digital spheres. How in such cases is Islam mediated by Europeans, whether Non-muslims or Muslims? The project will assess the means of dissemination, and the nature of the by-products, such as opinion articles, YouTube statements, memes, Whatsapp virals, etc. It will pay special attention to the representations of anti-European Salafism and European Muslim organisations, that want to cooperate within European societies. It will also evaluate the impact of the aftermath of such attacks on European understandings of Islam and Islamism and try to develop tools to counter mutual prejudices.

We are very proud to show you the film of our ESR Zeynep Aydin. She focusses in her research on how the European public acts after terror attacks and what role mass media and social media play in terms of authority. She asks the question of how the transition from mass media to increased social media use is affecting online Islamophobia and how it is contributing to an increase in right-wing populism in Europe.
Great work, Zeynep!
